Biography

My broad research interest is in how assessment processes can facilitate the development of productive student learning. My specific research focus is on feedback for student learning in higher education. I analyze how students respond to feedback; feedback processes in different disciplines; and the development of teacher and student feedback literacy. The overall goal of the research program is to develop and theorize sustainable feedback processes where students are gradually prepared for lifelong learning.
