UNISA Short Course in the Design of Integrated Assessment for Learning Programmes
University of South Africa Short Course in the Design of Integrated Assessment for Learning Programmes
This assessment course will enable practitioners in education and training settings or in the workplace to design outcomes-based forms of integrated assessment for learning programmes. Most teachers and trainers in the country have been trained as evaluators. The shift from evaluation to assessment has left these practitioners without any formal training in assessment. The result is a countrywide need amongst them for training in assessment.
The course is appropriate for any person involved in the design of integrated assessment for learning programmes in education and training settings or in the workplace.
