Johnston, Jonny and O'Farrell, Ciara (2020) Rewriting the (exam) script? Assessing student learning in an unusual end-of-year context. AISHE-J: The All Ireland Journal of Teaching & Learning in Higher Education, 12 (2).

Abstract

This rapid response documents an institutional development project focused on enabling a transition to open-book assessment practices at the authors' institution. The case study outlines curricular and institutional context, before engaging in an in-depth review of development methods focused on supporting the transition to open-book examinations mandated by the emergence of COVID-19 in Ireland. Its main output is a reference resource outlining potential methods for repurposing exam questions already pre-ratified by external examiners for closed-book purposes, for novel use in open-book contexts. It also outlines potential implications for future practice in assessment.
