A team of writers and vetters has been working on devising “alternative assessments” over the last few months. The assessments have been designed to provide a “university experience” to college students by combining the assessment of a number of outcomes into an examination or project.<\/p>\n
The team has devised six “Alternative Assessment Approach Support Packs” (AAASPs). Here is a summary of what each one covers.<\/p>\n
For example, the HND Networking examination covers all <\/u>of the knowledge and understanding in two complete units.<\/p>\n
