Readers will find research-informed insights from a wide variety of international contexts. It features: New chapters on e-assessment, the learner's perspective on assessment and learning and the influence of assessment on how we value learning -- Teacher-friendly assessment topics -- Practical examples and chapter summaries throughout.
