On Wednesday night the Design Team held its end-of-year Review in the Hub.
The event, the first of its kind, was conceived and planned by lecturer Helena Good, and featured a selection of print work by both HND Year 2 and Year 1, covering the past 15 weeks of their respective courses. Also on display was a video installation of Year 1 work, and a digital presentation of NC print work.
Students from all three years designed their own t-shirst for the event, using a word or phrase that related to their learning. The evening was a great opportunity for them to relax a little bit, let others look at their work, and reflect on their progress so far.
HND Year 2 show off their t-shirts…

Learning Innovation are delighted to announce that the new e-Assessment Centre has been officially launched and is ready for use as a service to support Learning and Teaching. The centre was opened by our Senior Management Team on Tuesday 3rd November.
“The majority of the group clearly enjoyed undertaking their assessments using the material as it provided instant feedback. The e-Assessment material has been fully validated by SQA for use and at present can be used to undertake the multiple choice assessments. Now that we have a dedicated assessment centre it will be easier to arrange time/dates to allow students to undertake the assessments”
Jamie Culpan (Carpentry & Joinery)
“E-assessment can support personalisation. On demand assessments benefit learners for whom traditional assessment presents difficulties due to distance, disability, illness or work commitments. On-demand summative assessments can increase participation in learning by enabling learners to progress at a pace and in a way appropriate to them”
Julie McCran (Assistant Principal - Learning & Teaching)
