    Richard Scott, a Creative Arts Lecturer at Ayrshire College has been looking for ways to improve assessment results by helping students take more control of their learning and engage more with it. He also wanted to find ways to reduce staff time spent on marking, so that they could free up more time for the teaching process. This case study explores an interactive digital assessment booklet he has developed to help address these challenges, how he designed the booklet and the response from students, staff and management to it.
