The Effective Practice Resource Exchange supports users of the Effective Practice in a Digital Age publication by providing a supplementary suite of online recourses that can be updated and added to over time. These resources explore through different themes and viewpoints the elements that underpin effective designing for learning.

an interesting debate on the effectiveness of students evaluation

The purpose of this report is to examine the latest issues and trends in course evaluation. In-depth interviews have been conducted with 10 senior academics and student representatives to draw out a general sense of how universities are currently approaching the 'process' of student surveys, and what improvements need to be made to gain more effective student feedback on courses and lecturer

This clip shows a real lecture where Personal Response System and interactive teaching with peer instruction are used effectively in Physics teaching. For those teaching large classes and/or Science and Engineering this is a great demonstration of the technique.

Looks at components of blended learning, effective integration and how to create meaningful experiences. It also highlights resources required when planning and executing blended learning, including tutor support which is often overlooked.

I have not seen this one before. Let me have a look and I will use that data when assembling the Project.

Excellent and succinct. Helped address weaknesses in my project proposal Thank you

This blog post discusses the required learning conditions for effective online discussions, and include excerpts from peer-reviewed papers that describe how asynchronous online discussions can promote deep, rich learning.

The paper was written for an academic conference and the proposed storytelling model is underpinned by high quality scholarship and research supporting the premise that digital storytelling can be used effectively in designing online courses.

Having lived abroad (in the Middle East) I had experienced multicultural society. It is a question how effective might be growing a community virtually when physical contact would help overcome some hurdles. A food for thought., IvanS

A very interesting article by looking back the historical development of evaluations and debates on the effectiveness of student evaluations

When preparing to present data effectively it is worth thinking of audience and your purpose. Try to use this resource for the second bit at least. The first one you should be able to figure yourself.

This is the second post in a three part series on group work in online learning communities. Post one, featured why we need group work in online learning,  and post three will be on how to evaluate.

Thank you for sharing. would be useful for the final project design.

A resource I developed in order to effectively convey to students the task they would be undertaking as part of the coursework. This enabled students to mentally prepare for the task at hand.

An excellent example of how Peer learning communities can work effectively with minimal educator input.

With advocates like Sal Khan and Bill Gates, flipped classrooms are attracting an increasing amount of media and research attention. We had heard Khan's TED talk and were aware of the concept of inverted pedagogies in general. Yet, it really hit home when we accidentally flipped our classroom. Our objective was to better prepare our students for class. We set out to effectively move some of our course content outside of class and decided to tweak the Just-in-Time-Teaching approach (JiTT). To our surprise, this tweak - which we like to call the flip-JiTT - ended up completely flipping our classroom. What follows is narrative of our experience and a procedure that any teacher can use to extend JiTT to a flipped classroom

Highlights * We explore factors affecting students' engagement with Moodle and Facebook. * Students were not interested in using Moodle, yet active on Facebook. * We use Activity Theory as a lens for data interpretation. * Factors are categorized as technological, individual, and community levels.

Hello there, Thanks for sharing this Ivan - good one I hope I can effectively operationalize some ideas. Thanks Z

Interesting! As are a number of the papers suggested afterwards which I will bookmark too! As an aside you may be interested in the paper Cass Business School students present to the Moodle Research Conference last year: http://research.moodle.net/mod/data/view.php?d=7&rid=124 One point of interest I'm keen to follow is the possible rise in more student-led studies (at City?) - in this case, both surveying students and by students. I'm also interested in how we could look more at involving learners in the design process.
