Assessment & Feedback

Through the Student Academic Experience the college aims to seek to enable  all students to achieve their full potential, through supporting successful progression, raising levels of attainment, enhancing student attributes, and preparing for  work and/or further study.

At City of Glasgow College, the Learning and Teaching will be Active, Blended and Connected. 

Students will be co-creators of their own learning, challenged with real life problems and solutions. 

Alongside industry specialist practitioners and experts, students will develop the skills to help them attain, achieve, and progress to a positive destination. 

Their experience will re-shape their future and create pathways to new careers.   

The Learning and Teaching Academy is aligned with the five targets of assessment laid out in the Jisc report:

The future of assessment: five principles, five targets for 2025.

• Authentic - Moving away from conventional essays and exams, assessments are increasingly designed to prepare students for what they do next, drawing on skills and technologies that they will use in their careers.

• Accessible - The accessibility-first principle not only ensures that all learners have equal opportunities to excel, but designing for accessibility also improves the learning experience for all.

• Appropriately automated - Providing accurate and effective assignment feedback is an essential part of learning. Using suitable software and automation can reduce workload and focus educators’ work on detailed qualitative feedback. 

• Continuous - Improvements in data collection and educational technology enable educators to provide more formative assessment and avoid too much emphasis on a limited number of high-stakes assessment.

• Secure - Allowing learners to be confident that they are being measured fairly alongside other learners means developing authoring detection and biometric authentication adopted for identification and remote proctoring.

The workshops are a series of dynamic, practical and interactive workshops delivered throughout the academic year. 

During the workshops students will learn how to set achievable goals, develop effective study habits, improve their skills, and boost their confidence.  

Our workshops are themed around the 5 Steps to Success: 

• Be Organised. 

• Get Connected. 

• Learn to Learn.

• Stay Motivated. 

• Get Involved. 

Please refer any students who you think might benefit from these workshops. 

You can find the workshops on MyConnect. 

Students are able to access the workshops via CityLife and Easybook.

Please note that workshops with 6 slots are designated for Learning Support students.
