What are we trying to achieve when we assure learning?

Internationally there is pressure for significant change in measuring quality in teaching and learning (Krause, Barrie & Scott, 2012).

Valid Data for Quality Assurance
• Although quality assurance has been recognised as a critical component of educational enhancement principles there is little consistency as to how to achieve it.
• Of more concern, is the validity of the data being used to assure quality.

Consistency
• Degree Level Learning Outcomes• Criteria and standards - rubrics

• Yorke (2008) has also raised concern about adopting overall percentages as the indicator of quality.
• What does a percentage or grade point average or degree classification actually tell us; – which capabilities were actually assessed – at what level; – how grading was decided.
Valid Data for Quality Assurance

• Yorke (2008) proposed that evidence can (some might say 'should') be created by students.
• Creating ePortfolios is said to enable students to enhance their learning by giving them a better understanding of their skills and attributes, as well as where and how they need to improve to meet academic and career goals (Yancey, 1999).

Challenges
• One challenge is engaging students to continue through the core subjects and majors (Tosh, D., Light, P., Flemming K., & Haywood J., 2005).
• Staff engagement/ buy in/up skilling• Students will be prompted to develop their
portfolio throughout, but the only assessable element is in the final year of study.
