Seamlessly integrating degree assessment & EPA for apprenticeships

Now more than ever, degree assessment and end-point assessment are becoming increasingly integrated for degree apprenticeship standards.

But how can universities do this well? How can you design assessment materials and grading criteria that are valid for both the degree and apprenticeship at the same time? How can assessors and examiners fairly grade assessments for a joint purpose?

In this 2-hour interactive online workshop, assessment specialist Chris Cherry will take you through a step-by-step example of how to develop the plan for an effective unified assessment rubric.

During the session, we’ll look at:

1. The principles of unifying learning objectives and outcomes
2. Simplifying apprenticeship KSB’s and outcomes
3. Creating assessment materials for both the degree credit module and end-point assessment
4. Creating a rubric to work alongside the assessment plan to create a single point of assessment
5. Practical considerations for assessors / examiners – fairly grading assessments for a joint purpose

The workshop will take place on Thursday 12th December 2024 (2-4pm)

You can book onto the workshop for £125 (+vat). If you have several staff who would benefit, let us know and we’ll send you details of the most cost-effective way of accessing the session.
