I support universities with assessment and feedback change in the AI era: assessment design, marking and moderation workflows, Moodle/platform processes, pilot planning, staff adoption and evidence of learning.
This work sits at the intersection of academic practice, assessment operations, digital platforms and implementation.
It is different from psychometric testing, admissions assessment or generic institutional effectiveness consulting. The focus is on how assessment works in practice: what it is trying to evidence, how students submit and receive feedback, how staff mark and moderate, how Moodle or another platform supports the process, and how AI changes the risks, expectations and workload around that work.
What this can include
Higher education assessment consulting can include:
-
reviewing assessment and feedback practice;
-
supporting departments with AI-era assessment design;
-
mapping marking, moderation and feedback workflows;
-
reviewing Moodle/platform assessment processes;
-
clarifying assessment requirements and user stories;
-
supporting assessment tool or platform pilots;
-
developing student guidance and staff adoption support;
-
helping teams distinguish wasted friction from useful effort;
-
supporting evidence-informed decisions before wider rollout.
When this is useful
This support is useful when:
-
assessment and feedback processes vary significantly across departments;
-
AI is creating uncertainty around evidence of learning, authorship or feedback;
-
marking, moderation or grade handling workflows feel too manual or fragile;
-
Moodle/platform processes are not supporting the assessment process well enough;
-
a department is reviewing whether its assessment tasks still provide meaningful evidence of learning;
-
a university is preparing to pilot an assessment tool, AI-supported feedback approach or workflow change;
-
leaders need a clearer view before committing to a larger project.
Typical starting points
Most work starts in one of three ways.
An Assessment & AI Workflow Diagnostic helps clarify what is happening now, where effort is being lost, and which next step would be most useful.
An Assessment Workflow Redesign Sprint supports practical redesign of marking, moderation, feedback, Moodle/platform workflows, requirements and implementation foundations.
Fractional Assessment Transformation Partner support provides ongoing senior input where a live programme of change needs continuity, stakeholder alignment and practical momentum.
Within those routes, I also support AI-era assessment design, assessment pilot workflow, Moodle assessment workflow review, staff guidance and adoption.
