Assessment organisation refers to the definition of all roles, tasks and responsibilities of all who are involved in assessment, and the way that they collaborate and trained for these tasks. In the Netherlands for example, examination committees in higher education do not only have procedural responsibility for the assessment programme, but also have the responsibility to assure the quality of assessments. Assessment organisation also refers to the rules and procedures regarding the design and evaluation of assessment tasks, assessments and assessment programmes. The presented quality framework can be helpful in determining the strengths and weakness in curricula. For this special issue, it will be used to frame each contribution.
