This article discusses how striving for quality in online education changes the assessments.
Some themes are:
-product or performance based assessment
-students participate and contribute toward a learning community
-self and peer assessment should be included
Many students with autism are sensitive to auditory input and have a more
difficult time processing auditory stimulation. Their work stations should be
placed away from excessive auditory stimulation and away from unnecessary
movement.
Students with autism perform best when their daily routine is predictable, with
clear expectations.
Transliteracy is recent terminology gaining currency in the library world.
The essential idea here is that transliteracy is concerned with mapping meaning across different media and not with developing
particular literacies about various media.
Sue
Thomas, professor of new media at De Montfort University, attended the Transliteracies conference held by this group in 2005
and has since built upon their research to develop the key concepts and working definition of transliteracy.
transliteracy is concerned with what it means to be literate in the 21st century.
In its original iteration, transliteracy
is more about understanding the ways various means of communication interact and understanding, not necessarily teaching,
the skills necessary to move effortlessly from one medium to another.
