Third Session in Blended Learning Seminar Series Held
QQI hosted the third of its Blended Learning Seminars on Thursday 4 February 2021.
Professor Michael O'Leary, Director of DCU's Centre for Assessment Research, Policy and Practice in Education and his colleague, Dr Zita Lysaght, presented on 'Aligning Assessment, Learning and Teaching for Quality Assurance in Further and Higher Education contexts'.
During the seminar, Professor O'Leary and Dr Lysaght discussed some essential concepts to ensure that assessment, teaching and learning are well aligned in our programmes. In doing so, they posed three questions to act as catalysts for conversation and reflection:
-
What does alignment mean in the context of Assessment, Learning and Teaching?
-
Why is it important?
-
What challenges does alignment present for colleagues involved in programmatic/modular design and/or review based?
