The Patchwork Text (‘a radical re-assessment of coursework assignments’) was a three-year research project integrating teaching, assessment and collaborative learning. It involved a range of disciplines and three institutions: Anglia Polytechnic University (now Anglia Ruskin University), Nottingham Trent University and Cambridge University. The Project’s work was published in a special edition of the SEDA journal Innovations in Education and Teaching International Volume 40 Number 2 in 2003. 

The key ideas of the project – an assignment built up gradually through a series of contrasted writing tasks over a period of weeks and shared with other students in small group discussions, ‘stitched together’ by a synoptic, reflective commentary – were powerful enough to live on after the end of the project. They seem to have found a particular resonance within the e-portfolio community of practitioners, as this form of technology lends itself to collaborative and reflective learning using diverse evidence. 

This meeting will be highly interactive and participative, with maximum opportunities for networking.
