This article presents the structure and theoretical foundations of the Learning Object Review Instrument (LORI), an evaluation aid available through the E-Learning Research and Assessment Network at http://www.elera.net. A primary goal of LORI is to balance assessment validity with efficiency of the evaluation process. The instrument enables learning object users to create reviews consisting of ratings and comments on nine dimensions of quality: content qualit y, learning goal alignment, feedback and adaptation, motivation, presentation design, interaction usability , accessibility, reusability, and standards compliance. The article presents research and practices relevant to these dimensions and describes how each dimension can be interpreted to evaluate multimedia learning resources.

Historical project up to date as of 2003. Materials designed to support professional development in embedding learning technologies. Materials available from this site have been produced by institutions participating in EFFECTS and the ELT award, in the spirit of building a shared understanding of practice. You are welcome to re-use these materials in workshops or ELT programmes. Materials available from other sites have been used successfully in the context of ELT and EFFECTs programmes. Most are publicly available for use, but please check before downloading. See the ELT in Action page for ongoing arrangements to share and collaboratively develop materials for embedding learning technologies. Materials are organised into general resources to support staff development with learning technologies, and materials relating to the specialist ELT Learning Outcomes.

Overview of some of the different uses of lecture capture including for exams, staff evaluation etc...

useful article outlining some of the pedagogical benefits of using AR as an educational tool and links to some case studies

This video describes how an academic member of staff here at Aston has exploited the features of GradeMark (Turnitin), to provide rich and timely feedback directly onto student submitted scripts. Dr Stuart Wallis describes how he uses the "drag and drop" feedback functionality of GradeMark electronic submission and feedback tool. This exemplifies the positive benefits of using electronic feedback methods; for busy staff, and their students requiring developmental feedback soon after an assessment.

This paper discusses the findings of a pilot study that set out to explore learners' initial expectations and experiences of using ePortfolios (electronic portfolios). The popularity of ePortfolios is growing rapidly in tertiary education across all subject areas (Stefani et al., 2007; Strivens, 2007).

This article presents the findings of a qualitative evaluation on the effect of a specialised software tool on the efficiency and quality of assignment marking. The software, Lightwork, combines with the Moodle learning management system and provides support through marking rubrics and marker allocations. Not for Grademark like most of the other sources and has creative commons

UOH assessment principles of plagiarism

list of UK universities - need to think about where we search for OER's. Maybe prudent to think about how we sample universities or consider comparables etc

REAP Re-engineering assessment practices in he (REAP project - redesign of assessment and feedback based on a self regulation model, ideas for policy, strategy, course design, student experience, monitoring and evaluating progress, good design principles etc

Do you want to reduce the risk of inadvertent plagiarism in your students' work? Would you like to educate your students, before assessment, about the meaning of plagiarism and how to avoid it? Can you see the value of using the latest tools and techniques to provide feedback for your students? If so, why don't you try this three-step exercise? It doesn't take up much time, and it works... Is free to use, Oxford Brookes just asks that we give full credit and acknowledgement.

This case study looks at the positive impact that the use of TurningPoint clickers has had on staff and students at Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU) since their reintroduction a couple of years ago. It will discuss the barriers that had to be overcome in order to facilitate this change and highlight the action plan that was implemented in order for it to succeed. Creative Commons 4.0

Useful Prezi presentation outlining means of augmented reality and pointing to apps available to assist in creation i.e. stiktu, layar, aura etc

Useful links to resources in relation to eLearning and evaluation of learning resources. Useful for background information. All JISC projects, programmes or services are evaluated and occasionally JISC will also undertake longitudinal evaluation to assess whether outcomes have been embedded in learning, teaching research and administration.

University of Coventry links to articles regarding pedagogy and student learning styles - most of this is listed as open access. There are some case study type materials on this.
