About this listen

 Each of the conversations in this series explores the TESTA experience from different perspectives, including reflections of facilitators, academic staff, and students. First introduced at Aberdeen in 2022, TESTA is a method of programmatic review, which maps Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs), assessment, and feedback practices across an undergraduate or postgraduate taught degree programme. Areas for enhancement and / or streamlining are identified to increase student engagement, through varied, inclusive and accessible assessment and feedback approaches. TESTA presents the opportunity to identify areas of over-assessment, which can lead to a reduction in workload and an increase in efficiency for both students and staff.© 2026 University of Aberdeen
