Based on the ESCAPE project (JISC 2008-2010 – University of Hertfordshire)
What we were looking for…
• A dynamic way of engaging with fellow academics to shift existing
QA textual processes for representing the design of assessment and
feedback;
• A process that was light touch, and simple to use, scalable and
customisable
• Required no specialist knowledge
• Non-discipline specific
• Owned by the whole programme team
• Sustainable and linked into technical ecosystem

The Mapping process
• A process for visualising the design of assessment and feedback via
a Google tool;
• Uses Google Docs, Motion Charts and Google sites;
• This process culminated in an automatic report that graphically
displays assessment diet, landscape and importantly an experiential
timeline;
• Staff are then able to interact with the assessment parts of their
programmes and see graphically, in real-time, the consequences of
their design decisions.
