THE USE OF DIGITAL ASSESSMENT GUIDES TO IMPROVE STUDENT GRADES AND SATISFACTION WITH THE ASSESSMENT PROCESS.

This study assesses the use of digital assessment guides (DAG) to improve student attainment and satisfaction with the assessment process. The value of DAG comes in the 'just in time' nature of the resources, giving students the key information not only at their point of need, but also at their point of understanding. The study saw DAG introduced to 230 students across three modules on an undergraduate computing degree in a UK university. The results demonstrated an improvement in student grades, and students were highly satisfied with the DAG, noting the positive affect they had on their learning and module outcomes.
