Abstract
Assessment of student learning in Higher Education plays a core role, concerned with both recognition of student achievement and engendering learning through practice and feedback. Assessment is known to drive students’ learning, not just in terms of providing a framework for activity, but also giving them incentives for engagement (Race, 2019). This keynote will provide a range of perspectives on why well-designed, effective and thoughtful assessment and feedback significantly impact on students’ capacity to learn effectively, and on their ultimate capabilities as graduates contributing to employment contexts and as well as productive and purposeful citizens.

As curriculum designers and assessors we need to help students make sense of how assessment works by developing their assessment literacy, so that they can optimize their performance in various assessed instruments, and so that they can deepen their love of learning as students, and far beyond
Assessment must be constructively aligned within the specified programme, with close reference to the specified criteria, valid, reliable, transparent, authentic, inclusive, timely and incremental, designed to motivate students to learn, to develop graduate and citizenship capabilities and to fostering students’ self-efficacy and sense of ownership
