Radioactivity and Electricity Teaching Resources | Furry Elephant The COVID-19 online pivot The outbreak of COVID-19 has seen many universities closing campuses and shifting learning online. It’s unprecedented and suddenly puts ed tech front and centre in a way it hasn’t been before. For those of us who have been doing online learning or distance ed for a while it can seem a bit irritating to have been seen as second class for so long and then suddenly deemed worthy of interest. So I tweeted over the weekend: It’s interesting seeing all the unis that disparaged distance ed as not proper suddenly being converted to the benefits of online education— Martin Weller (@mweller) March 7, 2020 It was kinda snarky, but I’ll come to it later. So I’m seeing a lot of “oh so now online learning is where it’s at?” So, in the interest of pulling together, I’m splitting this post into two parts, the (possibly) useful bit, and the moany bit. The (possibly) useful bit It will be tough for lots of academics to teach online if they have little or no experience of it. Good luck! The moany bit

How can I use podcasts and videos? – Assessment for Learning at King's About podcasts and videos. How does it align with the module learning outcomes? Does it assess skills and knowledge that are key to the discipline? Consider whether podcasting and video can allows students to meet the learning outcomes. This might not be the case in all modules. Will it be formative or summative? Podcasts and videos work well in classes where students are involved in longer projects and research or exploring a topic throughout a module. If you want to focus on the process of producing the podcasts as well as assessing it as a finished product, you could provide students opportunities to complete formative tasks which then build to the holistic summative assessment, integrating feedback and continuous assessment. Malisius suggests setting a video or podcast assignment at level 4 when students have time to become familiar with a new type of assessment in a formative situation. How will I mark it? Decide whether you want the assessment to be individual or group.
Creative Methods of Assessment in Online Learning - Center for Teaching and Learning | Wiley Education Services Typically when students and instructors hear the word assessment, they think of a long, arduous exam (or a long, repetitive night of grading!). However, an assessment can be any task or activity that evaluates students’ progress toward your course’s learning outcomes. Traditional examples include papers, projects, reflective journals, group work, quizzes, and much more. Online learning has broadened the possibilities of assessment even further because it gives you, the instructor, a wide variety of tools that you can use to help students interact with material in new and exciting ways. Here are some strategies for thinking more creatively about assessments in your course, including examples from actual online courses. Capitalize on digital resources. Students in your online course will be sitting in front of one of the most powerful tools for knowledge collection and creation: a computer. For example: Aim for authenticity. For example: Use students’ environments and experiences. For example:
COVID-19 – Experimental Humanities 2019 There are many formats and approaches to assigning open-ended creative final projects. The example below brings together critical making and analytical writing, and integrates a multi-stage process that includes a proposal phase, an online exhibition that the whole class can view and comment upon (this may be developed as a separate assignment once they are all uploaded to a course website or learning management system), and a critical statement/essay. Instructors are encouraged to provide feedback at the proposal stage, either in writing or in one-on-one meetings, as this is a key moment to help guide students as they think through and develop their projects. In addition to or in place of the proposal, instructors can build in a “draft” and “feedback” stage of the final project, even if you are not able to have students share their drafts in class. Sample assignment: To create your project, choose a medium in which you have some measure of technical expertise and which fits your topic.
Sharing, collecting, discussing: All possible with Padlet | ACERT Do you ever feel that students might benefit from seeing each other’s work? Do you wish to make it easier for students to share their work with their classmates? Where do you ask students to post ideas and collect resources so that everyone in the class can see them? A discussion forum might work; a GoogleDoc would work, too. However, a discussion forum requires the tedious process of opening and closing threads and a GoogleDoc opens up the possibility of students accidentally erasing each other’s work. What is Padlet and how does it work? Padlet is an easy-to-use tool for sharing, collaborating, making lists, and posting notes. Notes can be organized side by side, in sequential order, under column headings or connected with arrows. Who is using Padlet at Hunter? Prof. For an in-person course in Gender Studies, Prof. The staff at the Center for Online Learning also uses Padlet extensively. How do I get started with Padlet? Happy Padlet-making!
