Welcome to the EAT-ERASMUS Online Course.
EAT-ERASMUS deals with inclusive and self-regulated assessment and feedback practices.
This course has been compiled by members of the Erasmus+ (EU) EU funded ‘EAT-Erasmus’ Project.
Activity: Explore information on the project and access to various resources
The project, and this training course, is based around the EAT (Equity, Agency and Transparency) Framework devised by Professor Carol Evans.
This short video explains the rationale behind this course.
Activity: Explore details of the EAT Framwork and resources related to assessment and inclusive educational practices
The first two modules highlight the key purposes of the EAT Erasmus project, and provide an overview of the Equity, Agency, Transparency (EAT) Assessment Framework that has informed the development of the course. They introduce you to key resources that can support you in gaining a research-informed perspective of assessment and feedback and how you can apply this to your own practice.
The course has 12 modules, each focusing on an aspect of effective assessment feedback practice aligned with the 12 sub-dimensions of EAT as shown in this diagram:

AIMS OF EAT ERASMUS
A key aim of the EAT-Erasmus project is to demonstrate how to use a research-informed assessment framework (EAT) in practice by illustrating what a self-regulatory approach involves.
The EAT ERASMUS project supports the translation of theory into practice through the provision of a rich set of resources to guide you through each stage of the assessment and feedback process.
You may wish to explore these resources as you go through the modules.
Core resources located on the EAT Erasmus web site include: 
“A Self-Regulatory Approach to Assessment in Higher Education”.
This provides a thorough overview of the theory and research underpinning self-regulation and how it applies to assessment and feedback which provides a detailed model of how to apply self-regulatory practice to assessment.
The EAT Framework is based on principles of effective assessment feedback (Evans, 2016, 2022). The latest versions of the framework are located here.
Activity: Review the history of EAT and previous versions including an accessible version.
An Instructors Guide to Using the EAT Framework provides a comprehensive set of resources to support implementation of the EAT Framework.
This is a useful source for those leading professional development in assessment at the organisational level. It is also an invaluable resource for programme leaders and also for lecturers working with students on assessment.
The Guide provides a number of activities that can be used to support enhancements in assessment practices for academic and professional services staff and students.
