The impact of Covid-19 on assessment and feedback practice: From the emergency phase to the preparation phase and beyond.

The period between March 2020 and October 2020 will live long in the memory for those involved in higher education, as they coped with changes in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. This article firstly analyses UK higher education professional’s assessment and feedback practices in response to what we are calling the emergency phase of March to June 2020. In the second part of the article, we sought to learn how UK educators were reflecting on the lessons from that emergency period to prepare for the 2020/2021 academic year. The article concludes by considering how these two phases may influence assessment and feedback practices in a post-pandemic era.
