Underpinned by a pedagogical commitment to feedback rich assessment, this assessment sees students complete 10 blog posts throughout the semester; student's receive detailed feedback for five of these and are given the opportunity to incorporate this feedback into a revised version of the blog post prior to marking.

Digital Curation and Pinterest Presentation

Developed as an assessment for learning (rather than assessment of learning), this scaffolded task prompts students to consider how social theory is brought to bear through personal narratives. Students use digital platforms (e.g. Pinterest) to create a fictional character profile which becomes a point of reference for progressive tutorial activities.
