Introduction
This entry examines the design process required for developing assessments within blended learning scenarios. Furthermore, it examines how practitioners in higher education can be supported to develop their understanding of assessment and how to design assessments into their teaching. The focus is specifically on blended learning scenarios where the expectation is that learning will be achieved through a mix of face-to-face and online interaction. However, as blended learning is a relatively broad term that may incorporate situations that are predominantly face-to-face or predominantly online, many of the principles will also apply across a broad range of learning situations. The entry draws on findings from analyzing the needs of students and lecturers and common issues relating to access to online educational resources across a partnership of Indian and European universities involved in the EQUAL Project...
