Online assessment and data analytics - Peter Tan - Institute of Technical Edu...Blackboard APAC
Are you spending lots of time conducting and marking formative assessments, tracking the learning progress of your students, and providing early intervention so as to help them learn and achieve better grades? If so, using a Learning Management System (LMS) together with a data analytics tool may help to increase your productivity. In this session, we will cover how Blackboard tools can help you conduct assessments in a paperless manner and automate the marking. You will also learn how data analytics can help you turn raw assessment data into meaningful information which will help you identify the 'at-risk' students that need your extra help, the better ones that need more challenging tasks, and the chapters that may need to be delivered with a different pedagogical approach. Hence, with a robust LMS and a data analytics tool, your quality of teaching and students' learning will help to bring about a higher student success rate.
Overview of the dissertation of Jason F. Rhode, Ph.D. entitled, "Interaction Equivalency in Self-Paced Online Learning Environments: An Exploration of Learner Preferences"
Designing, developing, and evaluating a real time student dashboardBob Bodily
We discuss the technical infrastructure needed to capture student data in an open learning environment (beyond the LMS), our iterative design process along with dashboard prototypes, and our dashboard evaluation results from focus groups and a survey.

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.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

17. • Seven sections of an entirely online
undergraduate course in human services
• Same instructor to avoid confounding
variable of facilitation
• 79 students
• n = 1,759 peer responses
• Six variables
19. •
•
•
•
Time elapsed in course
Final grade
Number of words
Number of citations
• Intersubjectivity
• Number of words
• Number of citations
20. • Cognitive requirement of prompt
• Time elapsed in course
• Cognitive requirement of prompt and # words
• Cognitive requirement of prompt & intersubjectivity
(compare to previous & concurrent research)
22. • Students who cite more sources within peer responses are likely to
have higher final grades than students who rarely cite or do not cite
at all within their peer responses.
• For students who do not or rarely cite within their peer responses,
those who write more words are likely to have higher final grades
than those students who write fewer words.
• While students who cite more frequently within peer responses
have higher final course grades, the positive effect of writing more
words on their final grades becomes irrelevant and sometimes even
detrimental.
25. Students who are actively learning with peers
earn higher grades when they:
− Respond to discussion prompts with a
high cognitive requirement;
− Demonstrate levels of intersubjectivity
beyond sharing and comparing; and
− Support responses with citations.
26. •
Design or redesign courses to allow for intersubjectivity
•
Compose discussion prompts at high cognitive levels
•
Adapt discussion scoring rubrics to evaluate levels of
intersubjectivity achieved within peer responses
•
Create student support products or resources to scaffold student
interaction toward intersubjectivity
•
Promote faculty development around course design and
facilitation to stimulate intersubjectivity
•
Revise explicit discussion expectations for peer interaction *
•
Measure intersubjectivity as an outcome of QM5.2
