Programmatic Assessment is seen as a promising approach to align assessment with Higher Education goals such as inclusiveness, employability and assessment for learning. Its value has been evidenced in the Netherlands in practice-based research carried out in a professional learning community consisting of about 25 higher education programmes. In this presentation Liesbeth shares the theoretical principles of programmatic assessment and how these principles have been worked out in practice in design choices made by programmes in different domains. Lessons learned regarding student learning and decision-making will also be discussed.
