Developing assessment and feedback practice is arguably the most powerful way to improve the learning and success of your students. The 6th International Assessment in Higher Education Conference (AHE) conference was held in Manchester in June 2017. The aim of this biennial conference is to support the development of research-informed practice in assessment and feedback in higher education.
The AHE conference brought together over 200 delegates from 26 countries to share innovative practice and research into assessment and feedback. With master classes from leading professors, provocative keynotes, thought-provoking practice exchange, cutting edge research presentations, all focused on understanding and improving assessment and feedback in higher education.
