A FEW IDEAS ABOUT DESIGN Contextual framing for UEA This slide asks us to step back from individual modules and think at course, school, and faculty level. At UEA, assessment design often still happens locally and incrementally: module by module colleague by colleague year by year The image on this slide represents intentional, collective design: teaching, assessment, and marking conceived together alignment with learning outcomes from the outset explicit consideration of marking effort and feedback mechanisms before tasks are set The visual emphasis on collaboration reflects a core institutional challenge: How do we break silos and design in ways that reduce duplication, uneven workload, and downstream problems? The subtle presence of connective elements (light, structure, alignment) gestures to: the role of AI as infrastructure and support, not replacement scenario planning and design thinking as legitimate academic work assessment as a designed system, not an accumulation of tasks This image sets the expectation that design is where efficiency and quality are won or lost.
