By ensuring that assessments are accessible to all students, regardless of their educational background Transparency in Learning in Teaching (TiLT) methods can help students to understand what they need to do, why they are doing it, what they will gain from it, and how to succeed in an assessment task. It has been shown to benefit all students, but particularly disadvantaged and underrepresented students. In this workshop, participants will apply TiLT principles to one assessment task, without redesigning the task itself.
Staff are asked to bring with them one assessment to apply the principles to.
