Y1Feedback Presentation at EdTech2015
The document summarizes preliminary findings from a review of assessment feedback practices for first year undergraduate students across four higher education institutions in Ireland. Key findings from student focus groups include that feedback is often provided inconsistently and primarily takes the form of grades rather than written comments. Students saw feedback as important for their learning but felt it was lacking. Staff survey responses found that while most aimed to provide feedback, challenges included large class sizes, workload, and student engagement. Technologies like MS Word and email were commonly used to deliver feedback.
Technology Enhanced Feedback Approaches: What Works & Why?
This document discusses technology-enhanced feedback approaches and what works. It begins by outlining the importance of feedback and challenges to providing effective feedback, including disconnects between staff and student perspectives, resource constraints, large class sizes, and modularization. Contemporary perspectives view feedback as an ongoing dialogue rather than a delivered message, and emphasize feedforward and self-regulated learning. Recommended approaches include online written feedback using tools like annotated PDFs and rubrics, in-class feedback using clickers or backchannels, audio-visual feedback like screencasts, and peer feedback technologies. Programmatic approaches aim to coordinate feedback across a program. Technology can help increase feedback quantity and quality, support dialogue, and provide flexibility.

- The document discusses technology-enhanced learning in anatomy education. It provides context on how students have changed and questions the role of technology in anatomy learning.
- It reviews frameworks for evaluating technology-enhanced learning and finds most studies only evaluate learner satisfaction rather than learning gain or institutional impact.
- Several of the presenter's own studies are summarized that evaluated learning gain from anatomy screencasts and the impact of using Facebook to manage test anxiety. The presentation calls for evidence-informed practice in anatomy education.
One-to-One Computing Initiatives
This document provides a summary of research on the benefits of one-to-one computing initiatives in K-12 education. It discusses how giving each student a laptop or tablet can increase student engagement and ownership over their work. Research has found that these initiatives improve attendance rates, discipline, and test scores when implemented effectively with proper training. However, barriers like technical support and wireless infrastructure must be addressed. The document reviews several research articles that found one-to-one programs facilitate differentiated and student-centered learning, while also allowing for more feedback between teachers and students.

Speaker: Anish Bagga, CEO, Unitu.
How can the authenticity and representativity of the student voice allow Universities to shape the student experience more effectively? Traditional mechanisms of collecting student feedback are limited. They provide a single snapshot of time, there is filtering and dilution of issues passing through the system and there is difficulty in closing the feedback loop.
UCL, Swansea University, University of Greenwich and others now use Unitu, an online student voice platform. Unitu, a Jisc summer of student innovation project, enables students to post and comment about issues anonymously. Student reps to escalate the feedback to the appropriate staff in their department and Departmental staff are able to engage with the feedback in real time. As a result, changes can be made to the student experience faster and more reliably based upon the authentic student voice.
This presentation explores two case studies from UCL and Swansea University, outlining their journey of implementing Unitu, the student and staff (positive and negative) experiences of using Unitu, what has and hasn’t worked and the impact it has had in shaping the student experience.

Literature Review Presentation
This document discusses adaptive technology and its use for individuals with autism. It begins by defining autism spectrum disorders and noting their range of severity. Adaptive technology is then defined as any equipment that increases functional capabilities for individuals with disabilities. Several methods of computer-assisted instruction, information and communication technologies, and evidence-based practices are described that can be used in classrooms for students with autism. The document concludes by noting that technological advances have improved autism research and outcomes for individuals.
Theory/literature vs practice - the flipped classroom
This document discusses the theory and practice of flipped classrooms based on literature and examples. It defines flipped classrooms as shifting from traditional lectures to active learning during face-to-face class time after students are first exposed to content outside of class. Several studies show improved exam performance and student perceptions with flipped models in statistics, economics, and calculus courses, though preparation outside of class was sometimes lacking. Open questions remain around large-scale implementation, measuring success, and whether readily available technologies are suitable for all mathematics teaching.
technology
This document discusses the integration of technology in elementary classrooms. It explores both the benefits and disadvantages of bringing technology such as tablets, smart boards, and internet access into the classroom. While technology increases student engagement and improves learning outcomes, teachers require additional training to incorporate technology effectively. The document also examines barriers to technology integration like limited resources and attitudes about technology, and strategies to overcome these barriers through developing a shared technology vision and increasing professional development for teachers.
Innovative Lecture Capture
A lecturer interviewed in 2014 said that while she is skilled as a nurse, she lacks confidence in video editing and does not have time to learn or create lecture capture materials. Research also shows that students believe lecture capture helps reduce anxiety and improves learning by allowing them to re-watch lectures. A large survey found 82% of undergraduates at the University of Wisconsin strongly preferred accessing recorded lectures online over not having them. While lecture capture provides benefits like assessing student comprehension, it also requires dedicated staff to edit materials and keep them updated when lectures change.
Teaching mixed levels jm 14092016
This paper was written to discuss the challenges of managing mixed level classes in the business discipline, from the context of teaching, learning and assessment, to help teachers develop a mechanism to manage and cope with teaching, learning, assessment in a systematic manner while balancing the power relationships with students when carrying out assessment tasks within and outside the classroom. This paper also takes the approach of the illustration used in the case study of Robert and Susans (Marton & Saljo ,1976 cited Biggs, 1999)
Viviano, rich article critique
The article critiques a paper titled "Using Edutainment Software to Enhance Online Learning" which discusses using educational games to engage students. However, the critiquer notes some inconsistencies. Though the title references online learning, much of the content actually focuses on traditional classrooms rather than online settings. Additionally, while the introduction and conclusion suggest supporting educational games, some statements contradict this by listing arguments against their use. The most informative section objectively discusses the cognitive benefits of games in developing problem-solving and teamwork skills. Overall, the critiquer finds the paper's intent unclear due to inconsistencies between focusing on online versus traditional learning, and seeming both for and against educational games.
How to improve your teaching using emerging technology
This document provides tips for improving teaching using emerging technology. It discusses using lecture capture, polling students, social media, enhancing slides, understanding millennial students, collaborative assignments, and evaluations. Lecture capture allows students flexibility but most prefer attending live. Polling engages students and assessing understanding. Social media facilitates communication. Enhanced slides should stimulate discussion with video, icons, and quality graphics. Technology should meet educational needs rather than being used just because it is new. Small changes can significantly improve learning when implemented strategically.
Damian Bebell- '1:1 Computing Research: Informing effective policy development'
The document summarizes research on 1:1 computing programs in K-12 education. It finds that while access to technology has increased, implementation and outcomes varied widely between schools. Standardized test scores in some cases increased slightly for students in 1:1 programs, but tests are a limited measure of success. Long-term impacts are still unknown due to most programs being recently established and underfunded research efforts. Teacher beliefs and leadership strongly influence how technology is used in classrooms.
PowerPoint APA-style
The document discusses issues related to cell phone use in the classroom. It notes that while cell phones can be useful for emergencies or as references, they are often a distraction to students and can enable cheating. A study found that 40% of students used their phones during class, distracting 85% of their peers. The document also reports results of a student survey that found most students text or receive messages before class but also sometimes during, with 30% doing so daily. The survey also found students are less likely to text if instructors have clear policies against it.
EDU 710 Lit Review #2
This document summarizes research on the effectiveness of using technology like interactive whiteboards in the classroom. It finds that using such technology can positively impact standardized test scores, especially when used for student-centered activities focused on visualization rather than teacher-centered presentations. The document also discusses strategies for helping at-risk students, such as providing choice, structure, customization and a blended learning approach. While technology shows promise, the strategies employed are emphasized as being more important than the technology alone.
Article Summaries and Critiques
The document summarizes two articles about the role of technology in education. The first article discusses how library media specialists can promote technology use among reluctant teachers by collaborating on lesson plans, providing hands-on training and support, and maintaining open communication. The second article outlines principles from NAEYC and the Fred Rogers Center regarding appropriate technology use for young children, such as ensuring it is developmentally appropriate and does not harm children. The critique finds value in the articles' emphasis on intentional integration of suitable technology to enhance learning.
Suh an explanatory study of high school teachers’ integration of mobile learning

Examining the Flipped Classroom Approach
This document examines the flipped classroom approach including benefits and drawbacks. The flipped classroom allows students to watch lectures at home and do homework in class through active learning activities. Benefits include students learning at their own pace, increased academic achievement and critical thinking skills, and more efficient use of class time. However, drawbacks are reliance on student motivation to complete out-of-class work, potential challenges for exams if learning material at different paces, and heavy reliance on student access to technology to view lecture videos. The document concludes that the flipped classroom shows potential benefits but also drawbacks, so teachers should experiment to find the best approach for their students.

The document compares and evaluates the use of personal response systems (PRS) in two sections of an introductory computer programming course. PRS allow students to anonymously answer questions during lectures using clicker transmitters. One section used PRS while the other did not. Both sections used interactive lecture techniques and discussion questions. The study found that using PRS increased student engagement during lectures and improved understanding of course material compared to the section without PRS, as measured by student surveys, interviews, observations, and exam scores. Prior studies also found PRS improved learning when combined with interactive techniques, but did not conclusively determine the impact of PRS alone. This study aimed to directly compare the impact of PRS versus no PR
Cps Presentation
Classroom response systems, also known as clickers, are small remote control-like devices that allow students to anonymously answer multiple-choice questions posed by the instructor during class. Each student has a clicker to transmit their response, which the instructor can then view the aggregate results. The purpose of clickers is to promote active learning and assess student understanding of new concepts. Studies show that clickers increase student engagement and participation. However, effective use of clickers also presents challenges such as taking class time and requiring instructors to write high-quality multiple choice questions.
Introduction to Online Teaching
The document summarizes a study on introducing an online teaching and learning system at Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM) to replace the traditional classroom system. A survey was conducted of 51 UTeM students. The results found that 59% of respondents were not satisfied with the current classroom system. Most respondents felt the classroom environment was uncomfortable and classrooms were insufficient. Additionally, 55% did not often ask lecturers questions due to shyness. The study concluded the current system fails to engage students, while an online system could provide flexibility and be less stressful. The goal is to improve teaching methods to enhance student understanding and performance.

Overview
Mathematics is a subject that has no substitute and is compulsory in all modern schools. It teaches students to have the skills to count as well as perform both simple and technical arithmetical questions. Arithmetic is applicable in all professions thus the need for it to be compulsory in all modern schools globally (Brown, Dehoney & Millichap, 2015). Nonetheless, the main stresses associated with arithmetic is, understanding the new concepts in new topics. Many teachers are regarded as the cause of this problem as they fail to understand the concept of comprehension. Many teachers work with the assumption that if students understand the basic rules of mathematics, grasping the new technical terms and formulas can have similar results (Brown, Dehoney & Millichap, 2015). This problem is also not rectified by the regulators as they offer little to no support over the matter. It should be understood that students have different levels or varying computing powers. This means that they can easily make errors by either misreading the signs (computational error) or may misunderstand the underlying concept thus using the wrong logic. Overall, there is a common factor with this problem the inability to connect easily the theoretical features of math with reality (Brown, Dehoney & Millichap, 2015). The proposed intervention is to use digital or virtual teaching techniques to reduce these problems with the long-term aim of eliminating it. The use of computers or simulations to teach students is not new, as several schools have implemented technology in the curriculum in one mode or the other. The main advantage of this technique is that it implements the broad number of learning techniques allowing the students to familiarize themselves with one. This eliminates the limit set by teachers as they teach the course (Brown, Dehoney & Millichap, 2015).
Literature Review
Technology has evolved rapidly in the past decades; it has given way for more processing power, storage capacity and variation in sizes of devices. It has also evolved other sectors in the process such as education; many learning institutions have made the shift from the conventional learning techniques to digital. The main advantage of this shift is that majority of the students are familiar with the operation of these devices, therefore, the need of training is purged. Secondly and most important is that this form of education provides personalized learning, the rate of engagement is higher, students are exposed to competent teaching, assessment of learning is rapid and the quality is higher. As stated earlier, various students have various deficiencies when grasping specific mathem ...

This document summarizes research on using clicker technology in undergraduate education. It finds that clickers can increase student engagement and feedback, though gains in learning are small. The largest learning gains are for students with lower GPAs. Clickers allow for anonymity, immediate feedback, and more implementation options than previous methods. The document also describes a research study that found clicker use significantly increased student engagement over merely asking comprehension questions, though it took clicker users longer to respond to secondary stimuli. It concludes by outlining some challenges to using clickers, such as preparation time and technical issues.

Project-based learning
The fact that learning is achieved through a number of ways best explains why different methods are tested in order to know the best method that can be applied. Project-based learning is thought to be a solution used to improve students’ state assessment scores when relating to the Common Core State Standards especially in comprehending non-fiction text. However, this method has to be tested in order to be recommended.
Purpose of the study
This study is meant to get the best data collection tool that can be used in a research. Before making any decision on what learning and teaching method to be used in teaching non-fiction texts, it is important to understand how each method works and how it can be used to improve learning. In order to be sure about how a method works, one needs to experiment or collect data that will be used as a base for making conclusions (Eodice, Geller, & Lerner, 2017). The purpose of this study is thus to provide the best data collection tool to be used in getting information that can be used in making viable conclusions.
The research question is; Will the inclusion of project-based learning improve student application of comprehending non-fiction text at a high depth of knowledge level?
Data collection
The researcher will use a number of data collection tools in order to recommend this learning method. The data needed should be quantitative so as to give the researcher the way forward to make a decision. One of the data collection tools to be used is the pre-test and post-tests. This is a type of experiment that will use two groups; where one group is given a treatment while the other group is left to be the control group.
In this sort of experiment, the researcher will collect a random number of people from the community who can be able to read and write. The people will be divided into two groups, the test group, and the control group. The conditions for the test will be set and the treatment applied to the test group. The control group will not be given treatment and after a given period of time, the researcher will collect the results. The results will measure ow the treatment affected the group as differentiated by the control group. The result from the group will be recorded exactly depending on the number of people who participated and how the experiment affected each one of them. This can enable the researcher to know whether the method can be used to improve student assessment.
Another data collection tool that can be used is interviewing (Phillips & Stawarski, 2016). The researcher can organize for short and structured interviews. The interviews should have a given number of people and the result expected sh.

Autism
Learning and behavioral difficulties
In reinforcing learners in Individualized Educational Programs(IEPs), educators will assist in shaping the behaviors of the students, as well as, becoming more self-sufficient (Bambara, Koger, & Bartholomew, 2011). The students’ educational needs are met in areas, such as reading, writing, math, adaptive living, and science. The objective is to meet the learners' needs via creating a plan that will effectively ensure the students’ educational and behavioral level are met or exceeded (Tyner, 2014).

Impact of technology on teaching and learning
The document discusses the impact of technology on teaching and learning. It reviews how technology benefits student performance and engagement in both traditional and online classrooms. It explores how software programs and online learning help meet the needs of different learning styles. The document also examines how technology allows for more accessible education and helps develop 21st century skills. It concludes by looking at future innovations and the importance of integrating technology into education standards.
Administrator Work In Leveraging Technologies For Students With Disabilities ...
This study examined how online administrators supported teachers in providing technology-based accommodations for students with disabilities. The researchers interviewed four special education teachers and analyzed accommodation plans from student IEP documents over four months. They found that (1) providing technology accommodations required intensive collaboration, (2) teachers struggled to implement all mandated accommodations while also using supportive technologies, and (3) technology accommodations were often limited to tools already available to all students. The implications are that transferring IEPs to online environments is complex, and online learning is not inherently accommodating without careful consideration at all levels.
Enhancing Practical Knowledge
This document proposes a tabletop interface to enhance practical knowledge among students through hands-on learning activities. It discusses the current shortcomings in practical education in Indian schools, including a lack of proper resources and time for reflection. Teachers face pressures that discourage exploratory learning and students are often exam-focused without understanding the purpose of activities. The proposed tabletop interface aims to support collaborative, activity-based learning to help address these issues by facilitating hands-on experiments and discussions in a group setting.
Edu690 m tyrie final project presentation copy
This document describes an action research study conducted by Matthew Tyrie to analyze the effect of technology integration on student performance and attitudes in science. The study involved two groups of 7th grade science students, with one group receiving traditional instruction and the other receiving instruction with additional technology-based learning tasks. Both groups were tested before and after to measure changes in performance and attitude. The results showed that the technology integration group improved more in performance but declined slightly in attitude, possibly due to some students preferring non-technology approaches. The study aims to provide insights on effective uses of technology to enhance learning.
CEMCA EdTech Notes: Learning Analytics for Open and Distance Education
Learning analytics use large datasets from learning management systems to improve learning and teaching. They focus on providing "actionable intelligence" through metrics, reports, and recommendations. Effective use of learning analytics requires consideration of context, people, and learning design. While learning analytics have potential to enhance education, they also raise issues regarding teaching models, learner privacy, and ensuring analytics do not reinforce biases.
Framing Issues of Ed Tech Integration
This document discusses a student's shifting perspective on the use of technology in math and science classrooms. Through observations and interviews, the student found that many teachers lack training and support to incorporate even basic technologies. While simulations and animations could enhance learning, most teachers are only beginning to understand how to use technology. The document advocates accommodating and supporting reluctant teachers by demonstrating how technology can be used effectively, developing teams to share practices, and making technology integration mandatory rather than optional.

Video Analysis
The beginning of the video was helpful because it made me realize completing a project brings many rewards. The narrator talks about having discipline, which is essential, and that includes managing time, maintaining quality, and embracing both negative and positive changes. The experiences expressed in this first portion reveal the value of finishing a project. According to the narrator, working with like-minded people was inspiring (Sfedfundorg, 2008). Individuals that share ideas and perceptions despite their difference deliver beyond expectation. The second helpful portion was how the narrator identified her scope of research. Her approach made me realize that narrowing down individual options to a particular area improves the quality of information gathered. The third informative portion was where the narrator explains the impacts her new strategy had on her teaching. According to the narrator, her technique has made her more of an educator than a teacher (Sfedfundorg, 2008). The transformation manifests in her student’s improved academic performances and the fact that they have enough confidence while taking tests. Ideally, it helped me understand that tutors can make a difference to a student's education if they employ suitable strategies. Additionally, any utilized method affects how one teaches, sets tests, or prepares learners for examinations (Mills, 2000). The approach also helped me comprehend that the most critical aspect a teacher can give a student is confidence. If one believes in themselves and what they can accomplish, they will succeed even beyond the academic field.
Data Collection
One significant factor an individual should consider when collecting data via interviews includes the questions asked. Some queries might be intrusive enough to make the interviewee feel uncomfortable. At such a state, a person cannot gather relevant data or acquire the exact information. The second valuable element includes the tools used to collect data during interviews. Many options exist, including a tape recorder, notebook, or a plan book as scholars suggest (Rockford, n.d.). At times, an interviewer requires more than one recording tool to store information hence the need for considering the apparatus to use. A third consideration involves whether to interview people formally or informally. The former entails using structured questions, while the latter demands a casual conversation. Under data collections, an interviewer must consider whether to settle for digital tools like recorders and videos or traditional mechanisms like note-taking. Modern methods have proven effective because they allow the interviewer to focus on the interviewees' responses. The approaches, especially video re.
Peer instruction online
The document describes how to transfer the peer instruction technique of using clickers to an asynchronous online environment. It provides examples of online prompts that pose questions to students along with answer choices. Students first privately select their response, then discuss their reasoning in an online threaded discussion. Afterward, students are surveyed on the question again. This allows instructors to assess changes in understanding and observe student thinking. The benefits listed include promoting student engagement, improving learning through discussion, providing feedback to instructors, and engaging students in active learning.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
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.
