What is a fractional assessment transformation partner?
Some assessment and feedback projects do not need a full-time hire, but they do need continuity, senior thinking and practical momentum.
Fractional support gives your institution an experienced external partner who can help shape decisions, translate between stakeholder groups, support implementation and keep the work moving.
My work sits at the intersection of academic practice, assessment operations, digital platforms and implementation. I help connect the strategic and practical sides of change so that assessment, feedback, Moodle, AI and platform decisions become usable in real institutional contexts.
Who this is for
Fractional support is useful for:
-
digital education teams delivering assessment or platform change;
-
assessment, registry, quality or academic development teams working across complex processes;
-
project teams moving from review into pilot or rollout;
-
leaders who need constructive external perspective and practical support;
-
institutions coordinating academic, professional services, technical and supplier stakeholders.
What this can include
Fractional support can include:
-
strategic advisory input;
-
assessment and feedback workflow review;
-
Moodle/platform process advice;
-
AI-era assessment and feedback thinking;
-
stakeholder facilitation;
-
decision papers and briefing materials;
-
requirements review;
-
pilot planning;
-
adoption and training support;
-
supplier/platform conversation support;
-
practical challenge between meetings.
Typical timeline
Fractional support is usually structured as 1–3 days per month for 3–6 months, depending on need.
It can also be shaped around a specific programme, pilot, procurement process, implementation window or adoption phase.
When to choose this
Fractional support fits when the work needs more than a one-off review.
This is often the right route when:
-
recommendations already exist but implementation is slow;
-
several teams need help staying aligned;
-
platform and process decisions are interdependent;
-
senior leaders need clearer options and risks;
-
staff adoption needs more than a single workshop;
-
a live programme needs continuity and practical momentum.
Typical outputs
Depending on scope, outputs can include:
-
regular advisory sessions;
-
decision papers;
-
stakeholder workshop design and facilitation;
-
workflow and requirements review;
-
pilot and implementation planning;
-
adoption guidance;
-
training and communication support;
-
monthly priority summaries.
