The unit

ECU guidelines set out for academic staff (Edith Cowan University, 2005a) assert the two main purposes of assessment tasks within each unit are to:

"promote student learning and improve student performance by providing timely and appropriate feedback to the student, encouraging reflection and self-assessment (i.e. formative assessment); and evaluate the extent of the student's achievements relative to the learning outcomes of the unit (i.e. summative assessment)."

In 2003 the unit 'Learning and Development 2' (EDL1201) was delivered through a combination of lectures, tutorial workshops, and interactive Information and Communication Technology (ICT). ICT relates to "those technologies that are used for accessing, gathering, manipulating and presenting or communicating information. Technologies could include hardware (e.g. computers and other devices), software applications, and connectivity" (Toomey, 2001). As noted by Anderson and Baskin (Anderson & Baskin, 2002), the addition of 'communication' to the previous term information technology (IT) emphasizes the growing importance of the communication aspects of new technologies, which was very apparent in this unit.

The unit incorporated assessment processes that modelled the type of assessment graduates would be expected to use as teachers. In this way, the assessment processes increased the students' professional knowledge of assessment whilst fulfilling the assessment requirements of the unit.

Systems were developed to ensure that all aspects of the assessment process, including the match between the unit outcomes, tasks and marking criteria, as well as the consistency of the marking and feedback, were quality assured.
