Benefit of this resource and how to make the best use of it
This resource provides a practical toolkit for enhancing higher education through collaborative action research. Educators and practitioners can directly implement interventions like co-creating rubrics to develop students’ evaluative judgement and clarify performance standards or adapt strategies to embed ethical AI literacy and peer-feedback into their curricula. Academic developers may modify the institutional RAFT model to facilitate staff professional growth through structured, year-long peer support and research space. The collection invites readers not to replicate these practices wholesale, but to adapt, question, and build upon them within their own contexts, continuing the collective work of reimagining assessment and feedback together.
