      "When designing learning programs, the assessment criteria and assessment constraints are usually key determinants of the teaching and learning strategies chosen"
    • Jessica M
       
      "Assessment for online is underpinned by the same principles of validity, reliability, flexibility and fairness, and uses many of the same strategies used in traditional face-to-face teaching (Booth, Clayton, Hyde, Hartcher & Hungar 2002). What differs mostly is the context of the assessment, the interactions between assessor and those being assessed, and collection and administration processes."

The Technology Source Archives - Seven Principles of Effective Teaching: A Practical Le... - 0 views

  • Learners should be required to participate (and their grade should depend on participation). Discussion groups should remain small. Discussions should be focused on a task. Tasks should always result in a product. Tasks should engage learners in the content. Learners should receive feedback on their discussions. Evaluation should be based on the quality of postings (and not the length or number). Instructors should post expectations for discussions.
  • Lesson for online instruction: Instructors need to provide two types of feedback: information feedback and acknowledgment feedback.
  • We found that instructors gave prompt information feedback at the beginning of the semester, but as the semester progressed and instructors became busier, the frequency of responses decreased, and the response time increased.

  • Similarly, we found that instructors rarely provided acknowledgement feedback
  • The rationale was that many students needed flexibility because of full-time jobs. However, regularly-distributed deadlines encourage students to spend time on tasks and help students with busy schedules avoid procrastination.
  • Lesson for online instruction: Challenging tasks, sample cases, and praise for quality work communicate high expectations.

Effective assessment in a digital age - 0 views

      "Assessment lies at the heart of the learning experience: how  learners are assessed shapes their understanding of the curriculum and determines their ability to progress."
    • Jessica M
       
      "The timing and management of assessments has also benefitted from the application of technology. "
    • Jessica M
       
      "'It would be better if… there were different ways of assessing, rather than  just all coursework and exams at the end… You do get quite enthusiastic  about the first one or two, but when it gets to the fourth one, it does become so mundane and so dull.'"

      "Effective practice can be defined as employing a range of  pedagogic skills to bring about the best possible learning for the widest variety of learners."
    • Jessica M
       
      "Designing learning activities takes place in real academic  contexts in which any particular activity is likely to form  part of a wider set of decisions involving the design of programmes, modules, sessions and individual resources."

The Artist's Toolkit - 0 views

  • The site is interactive, annimated, and allows users to create works based on the tools that they've learned about.

      I will use this to help students understand the vocabulary of formal aspects of art works. This is designed for kids but it is fun to use and the animations are actually overlaying real works of art. Exactly the deconstruction of what we will be doing in class all semester. I think it helps make the connection better than a simple text explanation from me.

      for some reason when i view this sticky, it does not recognize you as the one that left the sticky. Down at the bottom of the sticky it should say "group Highlight by LKR, share to group ETAP640." i don't understand why that happens. However, I know that this is you.
