Poster 10:

Fantastic Learners and Where to Find Them

Silvia Mazzotta  University of Aberdeen, UK

The 30-credit third year course, Embryo to Organs, is undertaken in-person by typically 10 students. To encourage students’ attainment and progress, we implemented a range of formative assessments, including online polls, group escape room activities and a model building exercise. All are designed to promote critical thinking and develop student analytical, synthesis and presentation skills. This poster investigates whether formative assessment can be used to promote regular student engagement with their studies, and to help learners becoming FANTASTIC LEARNERS, by supporting them in identifying alternative learning strategies that are better matched to their individual learning process.
