Abstract

Abstract

Effective and authentic assessment at Masters level can be advantageous to students, employers, funding bodies and other stakeholders where it helps to demonstrate capabilities and competences as well as academic knowledge. This paper outlines some of the findings of a UK Higher Education Academy (HEA) -funded National Teaching Fellowship Scheme (NTFS) project which explored innovative approaches to traditional written assignments at this level, particularly those that demonstrated creativity and employability.
