Professor Thengani Ngwenya, Director of the Centre for Excellence in Learning and Teaching (CELT), at Durban University of Technology (DUT) invited TESTA Project Leader Dr Tansy Jessop to lead a workshop and give a keynote on Assessment for Learning at their Annual Learning Teaching and Assessment Symposium on the 8th and 9th October. DUT is a large new university in South Africa with 26,000 students, more than 2,000 staff, five campuses and six faculties. CELT oversees the enhancement of teaching, learning and assessment and is in the process of implementing a new policy on Assessment for Learning. The AFL workshops drew on programme-wide and contextual understandings from TESTA to tease out assessment principles and explore challenges and issues at DUT from an evidence-led perspective.  Thanks to the organisers, colleagues at CELT and at DUT for a brilliant couple of days.
