Sites with specific examples/resources:

• ReView online criteria-based assessment is a catalyst to assist staff in making explicit the assessment criteria aimed at the development of these important 'attributes' over time and across different subjects or units in a course of study. It also enables students to 'self-assess' their own work against those criteria and monitor their own development of the important discipline-specific attribute categories.
