Making Assessment Count Evaluation	Made use of their SOS methodology as a starting point for their own. Not sure about transferability of other outcomes
Viewpoints	Also had a principle-led roll out of new methods across the organisation. Their policy was also quite strong on assessment and feedback

Technologies

Moodle	Moved from Blackboard, implemented in 2011/12, rolled out 2012/13. Part of the project is to get more lecturers to provide assignment feedback in here. A new plug in has been developed that will gather feedback across courses and present it longitudinally to a student.
Microsoft Word	Used to make a feedback template that lecturers can use to standardise feedback between themselves, and aid longitudinal analysis for both students and staff
Design Studio	Dissemination
GradeMark	Being evaluated for a more consistent online assessment process and plagiarism detection. Status of use at May 2013 unclear.
