Brookes' Assessment compact
Brookes' Assessment Compact
We are pleased to report that the University's Academic Enhancement and Standards Committee (AESC) has agreed the Brookes' Assessment Compact which is based on the work of ASKe.
The ASKe Directorate, the head of the FDTL, and a cross-University working group contributed to its writing. Chris Rust chaired the working group which submitted the final version for the approval of AESC. The Compact was approved by Academic Board and was implemented from September 2009. It was the subject of the keynote speech that Chris gave at the Brookes Student Learning Experience conference on 3 April 2009.
Oxford Brookes Students' Union and the National Union of Students have described the Assessment Compact as "exemplary practice, progressive and, if implemented effectively, will be a real win for the students of Oxford Brookes University".

To support the implementation of the Brookes Assessment Compact OCSLD and ASKe are jointly offering Course Design Intensives (CDIs) to Programme teams in all schools. These are full day events with a half-day follow up event to follow. The schools of Life Sciences, Health and Social Care, Business, Technology, Social Sciences and Law, Arts and Humanities and Westminster Institute of Education have all participated.
