Using Assessment to Support Learning
Speaker: Graham Gibbs
Time: 12:00p-1:30p
Location: 9-151
This presentation will focus on how assessment can be used to support 
student learning rather than being used as a tool for measurement. 
Taking as its starting point students' experience of assessment 
systems, it will report on published data that shows dramatic gains 
in student learning when assessment systems have been modified in 
effective ways.

Professor Graham Gibbs, Ph.D. is Director of the Oxford Learning 
Institute, and he has led similar centers at the Open University and 
Oxford Brookes University since 1980. He is the organizer of the 
Network for Enhancing Teaching and Learning in Research Intensive 
Environments, a consortium of fifteen universities worldwide to which 
MIT belongs. Professor Gibbs is the author of fourteen books on 
teaching and learning in higher education.
