Approaches to Learning and Assessment

Access to computers means that the department can offer a wide range of media including presentations, videos and online resources as well as the traditional use of text books and note taking. This means that we are able to provide facilities for students with a range of abilities and accessibility needs.

Students are regularly assessed on topics covered using a mixture of short answer questions as well as online multiple choice tests.  We can also provide revision and recall activities through online quizzes such as Kahoot, Blooklet, etc.

The assessments may cover key terms and their meanings, practical coding or spreadsheet tests and may be completed in the classroom or set as homework.
