Write a brief and the marking criteria that match it
Online or on campus
A short award for people who already teach or train. You design a brief, the criteria, and a moderation note. It is not a teaching qualification and it does not award a fellowship. Three courses, 18 credits. PGCert Higher Education Assessment is taught as one award, not a list of unrelated modules. The published length is 9 months, and the credit total is 18. Students move from Outcomes and criteria through Outcomes and criteria; The brief; Moderation, and finish on Moderation. Each course has a question, a method, and a submission. In this field, students design a short sequence for a named group of learners and the criteria that would mark it fairly. Reading is a curriculum extract, an assessment specification, and an evaluation summary. The artefact a marker expects is a plan with outcomes, a task, criteria, and a note on bias. The award is built so that a graduate can do the following in practice: Write an outcome a marker can see Design a brief with a word limit and a rubric Moderate two scripts and record the change Teaching assumes the student can read a source, attempt a problem before the seminar, and revise after feedback. Attendance at live seminars is part of the design. The capstone or final course must use the methods of the earlier courses; a project that ignores them does not pass. This course does not confer a teaching licence, QTS, or equivalent registration. The pages for each course name the topics that are examined. Those topics are the syllabus. A brochure line is not a substitute for them.
The credit total on this page is the sum of the courses in the curriculum. Assessment is the work named on each course.
