The workshop introduced participants to the Viewpoints project, had them work through tasks exploring assessment and feedback principles and implementation ideas using provided resources, and concluded with sharing experiences and evaluations. The Viewpoints framework and resources were demonstrated to help curriculum teams consider the learner perspective and support effective course and module design focused on key themes like assessment and feedback.
