Bridging Teaching and Assessment: developing assessment literacy for all through co-produced Rubric design development

This presentation reports on a university-wide project aimed at developing both the design and use of assessment rubrics that, through a co-production methodology, actively engaged students throughout the evaluation and design process. By actively involving students at each stage, from initial student voice activities and collaborative research through to the co-production of rubrics and university-wide guidance , we aimed to bridge the gap between teaching and assessment and deepen our collective understanding of how rubrics can enhance teaching learning and assessment.

The session focuses on feedback from student participants as we explore their experiences and reflections on being involved in the project on rubric development. The insights gained from this project underscore the importance of co-production in higher education assessment, offering a model for enhancing both student satisfaction and performance as well as developing assessment literacy.
