Assessment at AIHE
Supporting learning, achievement and academic development
Assessment plays a key role in the learning experience at AIHE. It provides opportunities for students to develop their knowledge and skills, demonstrate what they have learned, and evaluate their own academic progress.
Through assessment, students can receive feedback on their learning, demonstrate achievement of learning outcomes and develop the ability to reflect on their work and identify future learning goals.
The Role of Assessment
Assessment plays three important roles
AIHE recognises assessment as an important part of both teaching and learning, with assessment designed to support student learning, recognise achievement and encourage ongoing academic development.
Assessment of Learning
Certification of LearningAssessment provides evidence of student learning and achievement, helping determine whether students have successfully demonstrated the required learning outcomes.
Assessment as Learning
Developing Independent LearnersAssessment develops students’ abilities to evaluate their own work, monitor their progress and use that understanding to inform their future learning goals.
Learning Through Assessment
Building stronger learning habits
Effective assessment gives students opportunities to understand their academic performance, apply feedback and take greater responsibility for their learning. It supports both immediate learning and longer-term academic development.
Understand Feedback

Monitor Progress
Assessment helps students understand how their learning is progressing throughout their course.
Set Future Learning Goals
