Assessment and Learning places learning at the centre of our concerns and explicitly underscores the importance of assessment in that learning.
This new edition provides a comprehensive overview of assessment that is used to support learning, practice-based theory on assessment for learning, and formative assessment to support individual development and motivate learners.

— New chapters on e-assessment, the learner′s perspective on assessment and learning and the influence of assessment on how we value learning
— Teacher-friendly assessment topics
— Practical examples and chapter summaries throughout
This book is useful to teacher educators and researchers on postgraduate courses in education, teaching, learning and assessment.
