Alternative assessment techniques can enhance student involvement, motivation or learning outcomes. Examples include peer assessment (Cheng & Warren, 1997; Sivan, 2000), portfolios (Tang & Biggs, 1998) and innovative feedback processes (Carless, 2002). (all cited in Keppel and Carless, 2006)
Sadler (cited in Carless, 2007) suggests that analysing high-quality exemplars is more effective than focusing on criteria and recounts the potent impact on his students of being exposed to outstanding assignments.
