Evaluation system
This document provides guidance for observing teachers in remote and blended learning environments. It outlines that observations can now take place during synchronous online instruction as well as when reviewing asynchronous materials. Formal observations must assess instructional activities of an appropriate duration as specified in policy for the given evaluation plan type. Observations of asynchronous activities should include all associated materials, interactions, and outcomes from a specific lesson. If observing synchronous instruction is not practicable, the observation rubric can be completed using information from asynchronous activities alone. The NC Department of Public Instruction is preparing resources to support teachers and leaders in understanding these new observation requirements for remote and blended learning contexts.

In recent years there has been growing interest in the use of e-learning tools that are able to adapt to suit the ability levels, needs, or preferences of individual learners. In this project we aim to test the utility of an adaptive e-learning study tool within the context of a large undergraduate Psychology course (approximately 700 students). The study tool and a number of associated summative tests are hosted on the course’s Blackboard Learning Management System. Pilot data indicates that students that use the tool perform significantly better on the summative tests compared to non-users (t[683] = 4.35, p <0.001). We examine the relationship in the context of 1) learning analytics data that can be obtained via Blackboard, and 2) a number of known psychological predictors of academic success.

Presented by: Carla D. Hernandez, Assessment Coordinator, and Anthony C. Marziliano, Associate Director of Assessment, and Marc E. Gillespie, Ph.D., Professor, Associate Dean for Graduate Education and Research, St. John's University College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences
Professional health science programs must now explicitly identify interprofessional education (IPE) activities that provide unique opportunities for student-to-student engagement. Offering IPE activities is essential to advance education in these fields. We actively identify IPE possibilities and a methodology to assess them using ExamSoft’s categorization system. Our faculty are content experts and are in the best position to categorize test-items with national exam blueprints, the essential hierarchical ontologies that drive programs. Blueprints contain goals, outcomes, knowledge domains, professional skills and attributes often required for proficiency in specific health care professions. Mapping between different program blueprints allows the College to identify parts of the curriculum that are shared between programs and are ideal targets for IPE efforts. We provide worked examples where we observed overlapping terms that serve as an impetus for faculty and administrators to capitalize, creating IPE opportunities. By the very nature of this activity, overlapping terms are associated with test items that can be used to establish a pre-IPE activity baseline, as well as, assess the IPE activity itself. Synergistic assessment of shared goals and outcomes (using ExamSoft categories) helps us prepare our students to be outstanding health care professionals in the 21st century.

As semesters come and go, new exams are created and used items are retired, never to be used again. While moving on to new exam items due to poor performing statistics or to ensure exam security are sound practices, these retired items can still positively impact student learning. Retired summative assessment items can serve new purposes as formative assessment items that engage students with course content while preparing them for course exams. This presentation addresses the process of using retired exam items in creative ways to develop formative assessments to increase student self-awareness of their content knowledge and improve student retention.

Using ExamSoft Rubrics to Assess Student Medical Research
Presented by Shaheen Miller, Administrative Coordinator, UCF College of Medicine
At the UCF College of Medicine, we use ExamSoft Rubrics to assess first and second year medical students for our unique research program called FIRE (Focused Inquiry Research Experience). All students are required to complete a 2-year research project on a topic of their choice in the field of Medicine/Health. We use the ExamSoft Rubrics platform to assess students' papers in the first year and posters in the second year. Students receive formative (not graded) and summative (graded) feedback from peers, faculty, statistician, and librarian. This webinar will explore how to create and administer these assessments of student learning.
Improve your test item writing skills to help create better nursing exams
Presented by Ainslie Nibert, Associate Dean and Associate Professor, Texas Woman's University College of Nursing
This webinar assists with creating critical-thinking test items for all of your exams. You’ll obtain valuable student response data from these new questions that can guide future editing, and help you obtain the greatest benefit from your authoring efforts. By performing a systematic item analysis after each exam, you can pinpoint students’ knowledge gaps, which will help you focus your item writing on those course objectives that are globally misunderstood or ignored. In addition to reviewing item writing techniques, we’ll also cover the advantages of using electronic test blueprints to establish test validity and tie your assessments to your overall program objectives.
Psychometrics 101: Know What Your Assessment Data is Telling You
This webinar discusses using item analysis and statistics to evaluate assessment questions and better understand assessment data. It covers common item analysis statistics like item difficulty, discrimination index, and point-biserial values. Guidelines for desired statistical ranges are provided. The webinar emphasizes that statistics alone cannot determine if a question is good or bad, and provides factors to consider like author intent, content delivery method, and historical analysis. Best practices like increasing the item review process and reusing questions are recommended to improve the accuracy and usefulness of statistics.

Presented by Kelly McCarthy, Assistant Director of Assessment, University of South Florida Morsani College of Medicine
Data-driven instruction is the mantra in today’s educational landscape. Programs must find ways to effectively assess, analyze, and act to improve curricular and instructional practices. Although the need for evaluation processes is well-documented, developing the systems by which to review and assess teaching and learning is challenging for most educational programs. In this webinar, we will discuss how a team of medical and biomedical faculty and staff developed an assessment monitoring system utilizing the category tool within ExamSoft. Presentation of critical outcomes will include: (1) the system design and implementation plan- including faculty recruitment and the roles and responsibilities of those involved with the project, (2) the development of targeted reporting - both for university leadership and students, and (3) how results from the project were used to improve discipline- and organ system-specific curriculum initiatives within the college. While the information in this presentation focuses on a medical education context, the material presented could be modified and used in a variety of educational disciplines.

Using Exam Data for Scholarly Activities
Presented by Dan Thompson, Manager of Instructional Design and Educational Technology, Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences
Exam statistics are far more than an evaluation of student knowledge and retention. Assessment data provide limitless insights into curricular structure, our performance as instructors, and teaching methods. While there is great utility in reviewing how we can improve our teaching and assessment methods, we are selling ourselves short as professionals if we stop there. The robust statistics that can be extracted from student assessment can also be used for scholarly research projects and to prove our successes in the classroom. This presentation will address the process of utilizing ExamSoft categorization techniques to both harness useful exam statistics and then apply them in data-driven research projects—creating scholarly activities to build a professional portfolio and prepare for promotion and tenure.
Communication is Key! Using ExamSoft to Keep Everyone Involved In the Teachin...
Presented by Dan Thompson, Manager of Instructional Design and Educational Technology, Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences
ExamSoft has long been the go-to platform for educators looking for a secure testing environment and assessment reporting tool. But what about the need to increase communication among faculty, staff, administration, students, and even parents? With so many individuals (and moving parts) involved in the teaching and learning process, the ability to quickly and accurately communicate exam information is paramount to student success. ExamSoft can be used as a secure form of mass communication to get the necessary information to the appropriate people to support student learning as it as happening, not after it is too late. This presentation illustrates how to create an environment in ExamSoft that allows for the constant and instantaneous flow of student assessment performance data within an institution and at home. With this process, immediate positive reinforcement and/or remediation can be implemented to create a proactive learning atmosphere for students that will ultimately lead to improved outcomes.

The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.
