Explore a range of assessment resources developed through the Re-imagining Assessment & Feedback for Student Success project.
Re-imagining Assessment: The ATU Re-imagining Assessment Project is co-led by Dr Noelle Higgins (ATU Galway-Mayo), Dr Niamh Plunkett (ATU Sligo) and Dr Deirdre McClay (ATU Donegal). This project has been supported by the National Forum for the Enhancement of Learning and Teaching and N-TUTORR Transforming Learning project (Dr. Carina Ginty N-TUTORR ATU lead).
The project team has worked alongside six programmes in ATU and with programme leads from each programme to explore the student and staff experience with Assessment, Feedback and Academic Integrity. The project team has carried out a wide range of activities including data collection, showcasing events, an assessment masterclass series, development of an assessment resource directory, and the development and running of the Let’s Talk about Assessment workshop.

ATU Assessment Hackathon
The ATU Assessment Hackathon that took place in three independent locations in September 2023.
Our objectives were:
- provide a first-hand experience of a challenge-based learning hackathon for academic staff to support them in implementing a similar approach
- experience the potential value and application of challenge-based hackathons as an innovative and engaging learning experience
- to facilitate an opportunity to learn about designing authentic and sustainable assessments.
