7 May 2025: Lessons from implementing programmatic assessment

A joint session with Assessment in Higher Education Network (UK) and Transforming Assessment featuring selected presentations previewing the Assessment in Higher Education Conference (UK) 2025.

Session chair: Fabio Arico (University of East Anglia, UK)

Featuring:

1) "Lessons learned from a programmatic assessment development project" by Jayne Pearson and Ayesha Ahmed (King's College London, UK)

This talk will provide and overview of how we have explored Programmatic Assessment through a pilot phase across a research-intensive London university. We describe our experience, its challenges and our progress, as well as some lessons we have learned which will be useful to institutions taking their first steps on this journey towards programmatic assessment.

2) "Alignment between e-portfolio design and programmatic assessment curricula" by Bas Agricola, Kitty Meijer, Lieke Ceelen and Liesbeth Baartman (Hogeschool Utrecht / University of Applied Sciences Utrecht, Netherlands)

Programmatic assessment (PA) integrates assessment for and of learning, using longitudinal datapoints to monitor student progress. e-Portfolios play a vital role in PA, serving as tools for tracking development and supporting competence-based decisions. This study investigates design choices within PA curricula and e-portfolios in higher education and explores the considerations behind these choices.
