- Open-Book Assessment - A Handbook for Academics - Johnston, J., Rooney, P.(2021)
This handbook by Johnston and Rooney (2021) provides an introduction to open-book assessments and contextualises guiding principles for their design, development and implementation in a Trinity context. For many colleagues, open-book approaches to assessment may be unfamiliar territory. This handbook aims to support all staff with teaching responsibilities to find out more about the merits of open-book assessment approaches and it outlines key issues to consider when designing effective open-book assessments. - ‘Rewriting the (exam) script? Assessing student learning in an unusual end-of-year context = Johnston and O’Farrell (2020)
In this journal article, Johnston and O’Farrell (2020) document an institutional development project focused on enabling a transition to open-book assessment practices at Trinity. The case study outlines curricular and institutional context, before engaging in an in-depth review of development methods focused on supporting the transition to open-book examinations mandated by the emergence of COVID-19 in Ireland. Its main output is a reference resource outlining potential methods for repurposing exam questions already pre-ratified by external examiners for closed-book purposes, for novel use in open-book contexts. It also outlines potential implications for future practice in assessment. - Repurposing Face to Face Exam Questions for Open Book Exams
This resource, adapted from Johnston & O’Farrell (2020), outlines sample questions from across the disciplines which have been either modified from, or used in, previous exam sessions at Trinity. The questions listed here would typically have been ‘approved’ by externs for use in face-to-face, closed-book contexts, as part of standard procedures - Designing Open-Book Exams: Guidance on the Pedagogy
