Abstract: In this study, we provide insight into how digital assessment and feedback systems should be designed to promote student-led learning experiences. The study aims to answer the question: How can digital assessment and feedback systems better serve the purpose of improving the student's learning experience in HE? We conducted 10 focus groups with 58 lecturers in which, using a storytelling technique and mockups of a digital assessment and feedback system, we discussed and critique a scenario aiming at collecting lecturers' perceptions about digital assessment and feedback. Based on these perceptions, we identify three recommendations that may improve digital assessment and feedback: (i) students should proactively engage with the assessment; (ii) implementing a library of feedback that collects all the feedback received for the programme of study and (iii) encouraging more dialogue in the feedback process, by means of separating the provision of the feedback and the mark. We argue that the effective design of learning technologies can be a positive disruptive factor of the assessment practice.
