I am currently an independent researcher who has worked on all things assessment for over 30 years at HE level. My primary interest has been to explore and refine student-centred assessment, particularly self-assessment, as increasingly, the link between assessment and learning has been made through theories and research. My theoretical work has served to rationalise and provide coherence to our understandings of assessment and learning. This work is relevant and transferable to all educational levels and contexts.
