Assessment of Learning in Universal Design for LearningCAST
April 25-28, 2011: CEC Convention
Presenters: Tracey Hall and Isabel Arathoon, CAST; Amanda Kloo, University of Pittsburgh; Deborah Taub, UNC Greensboro
The purpose of this research proposal is to identify organizational principles for the development of online learning curriculum in higher education. This study will address the following research questions: Can educational psychology learning theories (such as cognitive load theory) be used to inform usability-testing methods? Can usability-testing methods be used to discover basic principles of online learning curricular organization? Are there basic principles of online learning curricular organization that can improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and user satisfaction of learning in online environments? While there are many theoretical directions one could take to examine the interface of instructional design and technology, this research proposal will use the lens of the cognitive load theory. This study will use the cognitive walkthrough method as established by usability testing standards. Cognitive walkthroughs use an explicitly detailed procedure to simulate a user’s problem solving process at each step through the dialogue, checking if the simulated user’s goals and memory content can be assumed to lead to the next correct action. Participants will be asked to complete a series of tasks in an online learning environment formulated to compare different methods of organization. This study has the potential to make significant contributions to the field of educational psychology and online education by providing substantive empirical data that sheds light on potential principles that improve the effectiveness, efficiency, and user satisfaction of Web-based education.
Learning Analytics: What is it? Why do it? And how?Timothy Harfield
Presentation delivered to graduate students at Emory University as part of a TATTO (Teaching Assistant Training and Teaching Opportunity) brown bag session.
ABSTRACT
Learning analytics is the measurement, collection, analysis and reporting of data about learners and their contexts, for purposes of understanding and optimizing learning and the environments in which it occurs. Data driven approaches to teaching and learning are rapidly being adopted within educational environments, but there is still much confusion about what learning analytics is, what it can do, and how it is best employed.
This talk will provide a general overview of the field of learning analytics, its terminology and methods, as well as contemporary ethical debates. It will also introduce several open source and Emory-supported analytics tools available to students and instructors to facilitate the achievement of various learning outcomes.

In this update of his past presentations on Mobile Eating the World -- delivered most recently at The Guardian's Changing Media Summit -- a16z’s Benedict Evans takes us through how technology is universal through mobile. How mobile is not a subset of the internet anymore. And how mobile (and accompanying trends of cloud and AI) is also driving new productivity tools.
In fact, mobile -- which encompasses everything from drones to cars -- is everything.

Developing Scholarly Identity: Variation in Agentive Responses to
Supervisor Feedback
Abstract
The central task for doctoral students, through the process of writing, feedback and revision, is to create a
thesis that establishes their scholarly identity by situating themselves and their contribution within a field.
This longitudinal study of two first-year doctoral students investigated the relationship between response to
supervisor feedback on the thesis proposal and the development of scholarly identity (self-confidence,
independence in research thinking, positioning the self in relation to others), through the lens of individual
agency (self-assessing work, seeking and critically engaging with others’ feedback in order to clarify research
thinking). Data consisted of semi-structured interviews conducted over 3 months, different drafts of the
research proposal, and written supervisor comments on the drafts. Narrative analysis and open coding were
used to produce in-depth portraits of the individual experiences and perceptions of each participant. There
were differences between the two individuals in their growing scholarly identities as regards their agency. The
degree of agency exhibited in engagin ...

Inter/National Coalition for Electronic Portfolio Research co-directors Darren Cambridge, Barbara Cambridge, and Kathleen Yancey present on the philosophy behind and design of the Coalition, how its results illustrate the principle of "scaling out," and the four propositions about assessment with e-portfolios and their non-negotiable core that Coalition members are currently exploring.
A definition for student collaboration in EAP: Implications for practicePeter Levrai
Student collaborative assignments are becoming more common across Higher Education and also feature in a large number of EAP programmes. However, there is a significant gap between researcher and practitioner conceptions of the term (Bolster & Levrai, in press). At the BALEAP 2019 conference in Leeds, we attempted to close the gap and proposed a definition for a collaborative assignment in EAP, drawing on both research and practitioner perspectives; “A collaborative assignment is one where learners work together and make equitable contributions to develop an indivisible artefact for which they share responsibility and ownership. During the development of the artefact, learners may work synchronously or asynchronously, face-to-face or online, but there is interdependence between group members, drawing on all their strengths.” (Bolster & Levrai, 2019).
Having a clear definition of a term allows investigation into best practice and this talk goes on to discuss the implications for practice in terms of assignment design, delivery, and assessment. We will discuss the practicalities of designing and implementing a collaborative assignment. We will also look at how a practitioner can navigate what can be a problematic process and move from being a "guide on the side" (Rummel and Deiglmayr, 2018) to make the most of an innovative approach.
Feedback, Agency and Analytics in Virtual Learning Environments – Creating a ...Diogo Casanova
The project comprises of a review of the literature and current technical provision of assessment and feedback in Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs); and data collected from ‘Sandpits’ with students and lecturers in two HEIs in the UK. A ‘Sandpit’ is a type of creative design-thinking focus group where participants are stimulated by a narrative of a scenario around the use of a product, object or artefact and are encouraged to critique, discuss and re-design it (Frohlich, Lim and Ahmed, 2014; Casanova and Mitchell, 2017). These ‘Sandpits’ look to clarify the role of VLEs in assessment and feedback, through understanding students’ perceptions of feedback and how they are being addressed and understanding teachers’ perceptions of the constraints they face. We are exploring what is available, looking to improve interface designs and features, and present these to VLE product designers.
A seminar drawn from two projects that explored a range of assessment practices, and examined how they are implemented by establishing and comparing attitudes to assessment amongst tutors and students within three ODL environments: University of London International Programmes, King’s College London (ODL programmes) and the Open University.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. Research Questions
• Material rhetorical perspectives on agency
suggest that it is dynamic, fluid, relational,
situational (not possessed), and shared by human
and nonhuman entities in a social space.
• Rickert (2013), Dingo (2012), Fleckenstein (2010),
Grabill (2010), Spinuzzi (2008, 2003), Edbauer
(2005)
• How can we explore these perspectives on
agency in a case study of electronic peer review in
a first-year writing class?
3. Case Study: Eli Review in
First-Year Writing
• Course: a first-year writing course taken as a
distribution requirement; 20 students, nearly half
of whom self-identified as multilingual
• Tool: Eli Review (http://www.elireview.com/)
• Total number of peer review sessions: 5 (each tied
to a different writing assignment)

6. Implications
• Studying the complexity of the “in between,” the
less-obviously marked pedagogical moments
• Agency as an important part of the
transfer/transition phenomenon
• Existing studies of students recognizing
pedagogical moments and responding flexibly and
agentively (Nowacek 2011; Adler-Kassner,
Majewski, and Koshnick 2012; Freedman and
Adam 2000)
7. Moving Forward
• Balancing a distributed agency view with a
research site and study objects that are,
ultimately, human-focused
• Balancing quantitative data and qualitative data—
which objects best illustrate agency-in-interaction?
• What theoretical and pedagogical implications
might a study like this have?
