This document discusses facilitating group activities and projects in blended and online courses. It provides an example of a group presentation project from a cell biology course. The project goals were for students to research a course topic in-depth, learn PowerPoint skills, write and deliver a scripted presentation. Challenges like unequal work distribution were addressed by assigning roles and dividing the project into timed, graded segments. A rubric was used to evaluate the presentations on content, organization, and other criteria. Other suggested group projects include surveys, art installations, posters, lesson plans, and activities using social media. The key to success is attention to details like roles, timelines, communication tools, and evaluation metrics.
This document provides guidance on creating an electronic technology portfolio for teachers. It discusses standards for teacher accountability and assessment, and how a digital portfolio can demonstrate skills in these areas. Teachers are instructed to include artifacts linked to standards, along with reflections, to document competencies over time. The portfolio should evolve from a working collection of artifacts to a reflective and connected portfolio presenting the best evidence for each standard. Formatting suggestions are provided, along with frameworks for developing technology, pedagogy, and content knowledge.
Digital portfolios can be used to demonstrate teacher accountability to standards, authentic assessment of teaching and student learning, and development of technology skills. They allow teachers to provide evidence of competencies over time in a way that is easy to manage and share. Effective digital portfolios are reflective and make clear connections between artifacts, standards, and the teacher's growth. Teachers should select the best artifacts that demonstrate their proficiency with each technology standard and use reflections to explain the purpose and value of artifacts in meeting standards. The digital portfolio process involves defining the portfolio purpose, collecting and reflecting on artifacts weekly, refining the portfolio, linking artifacts to standards, and presenting the final portfolio for assessment.

Assessment and Feedback Using ePortfolios: Shifting to a New Paradigm of Prac...ePortfolios Australia
ePortfolio practice focuses on reflective pedagogies and iterative submissions of student assessment responses. Students are encouraged to store learnings in their ePortfolio to showcase their strengths to different audiences. Innovations in practice come and go depending on buy-in and resource allocation. Once again, the world is significantly changing and the ‘new’ future of post COVID-19 remains ambiguous. In this paper, we propose a paradigm shift that facilitates a dialogic process around the collection of feedback a student receives in their ePortfolio. The design of an assessment regime sets the stage for active student participation in curating their individual feedback from self, peers, educators or industry. The aim of this process is for students to get a personalised reconstruction of their learning progress, through collaborative and social learning opportunities. In this paper we will offer further explanation of how this paradigm impacts practice in today’s digital era.

A new frontier for professional development: developing flexible pathways to ...SEDA
This document summarizes the results of a needs analysis conducted as part of a project to develop flexible pathways for professional development in higher education. The analysis found that while many staff engage in informal, unstructured professional development activities like collaborating with peers, fewer participate in formal, accredited programs. Barriers to participation included lack of relevance, work commitments, and issues with location or employment terms. Motivators included recognition of informal learning, allocation of time, and valuing of professional development by the institution. Based on the needs analysis, the project team will conduct interviews and design workshops to inform the development of flexible, online/blended professional development opportunities that can be formally recognized.

The document describes a study that assessed the effectiveness of using reflective teaching methodology to train pre-service and in-service teachers for online tutoring tasks. The study involved teachers completing an online tutoring course where they designed and implemented online tutoring scenarios. The teachers then used reflective portfolios to evaluate their experiences based on student feedback and research. The analysis found that reflective teaching helped teachers identify areas for improvement like being more proactive, giving clearer feedback, and distributing roles, but that they still needed additional feedback to fully reflect on their practices.
The document summarizes a 4-day workshop on designing blended courses. It provides an overview of the topics that will be covered each day, including blended learning, course redesign, assessment, academic integrity, and creating a high-quality blended learning experience. Examples of blended courses are also presented and participants engaged in activities to map out how their own courses could be redesigned in a blended format.
The document discusses a workshop on open educational resources (OERs), pedagogical patterns, and learning design. It introduces these topics and the OLnet initiative. It then describes the activities in the workshop, which included discussions, think-pair-share exercises, and hands-on challenges to redesign course content using visualization tools. The goal was to explore how to encourage uptake and reuse of OERs through representing pedagogical designs visually.
Facilitating student-led teaching and content creation through technology: Us...RichardM_Walker
The document summarizes a presentation on facilitating student-led teaching and content creation through technology at the University of York. It discusses defining active learning, identifying opportunities for student-led activities using technology, and reviewing course design approaches. It also covers instructional responsibilities for facilitating student-led teaching and content creation, highlighting challenges around student acceptance, skills, assessment, and workload. Examples from courses at York illustrate different activity modes that engage students as producers through collaborative research, peer review, and disseminating findings.
This document discusses using feedback to improve instructional design practices. It describes initiatives at Thompson Rivers University to more systematically evaluate and share learning activities. Interviews identified factors for successful activities and feedback desired by designers. Designers deal with many variables intuitively, unaware of implications. The complexity of their work is underrecognized. Providing shared "rules of thumb" documents and distributing the design process could help amplify designers' response to complex problems. Feedback should test hypotheses about what works and inform practice through action research. This closes the loop between feedback, analytics, and design.
A study of a multi-discipline built environment projectUrsula Rutherford
The document summarizes a study on a multi-discipline built environment project module taken by over 200 final year students from civil engineering, architecture, and building courses. It finds that the module helped students gain professional skills like teamwork, problem solving, and communication. Changes between the first and second years of the study increased student satisfaction and engagement. Repeated experience in such projects best helped students improve their skills. The research used observation, interviews, and surveys, and plans to continue and expand its methods.
This document discusses using postgraduate students to support the sustainability of open educational resources (OER). It argues that students have the time and skills needed to adapt existing materials through tasks like copyright clearance and curation, but may lack the subject knowledge for generating new content. A case study found students effectively adapted materials under lecturer guidance. The document concludes that students are best used as "capacitators" or helping hands in the OER process rather than solely seeking materials, and could also contribute pedagogically if involved in early design. Overall, OER requires more time than closed materials, so sustainability efforts need to acknowledge this cost.

This presentation discusses curriculum design and development. It explores philosophical approaches to curriculum, including the influence of performativity and changing views of academic knowledge. Models of curriculum are presented, including definitions focusing on structure and content, student experience, and an interactive teaching and learning process. Factors influencing curriculum design include knowledge constituents, balancing knowledge, action, and self-development, and considering discipline-specific approaches. Implementation requires considering teaching and learning strategies, assessment, standards, stakeholders, and continual development.
The document discusses several key ideas for teaching and supporting learning in higher education, including phenomenography, social constructivism, constructive alignment, situated learning, deep and surface approaches to learning, threshold concepts, and troublesome knowledge. It provides explanations of these concepts and discusses how they relate to designing teaching and learning activities to encourage a deep approach to learning among students.

In languages like Python, this issue arises when the specified module cannot be found or accessed, hindering the program's functionality. Resolving import errors is crucial for maintaining smooth software operation and uninterrupted development processes.
It will be really useful to know peoples prior experience of this form of assessment What level of study What discipline area
These are key characteristics of PTA and what makes them different from other portfolio-style assessment methods Sharing at an early stage is vital – the dialogue around the patch – both content and style – is an important component of the method Talking about your patch with peers not only means receiving others’ ideas but may also alter yours and develop them This develops skills of communication, of giving and receiving feedback from PEERS as oppose to another
Patches can be looking at one issue through a number of different lenses – eg. in a case study from the different players using different genres/styles of writing – academic/journalistic/fable You can also choose patches that are a collaborative – eg a wiki or joint research/annotated bibliography The reflective synopsis is the absolute heart of the assessment – this is where students recognise their own learning and development
The majority of the population of students can manage digital habitats now – and this offers massive opportunity for enriching PTA Taking the T away …. exciting
This presents its own challenges too Continuous workflow stops the ‘last minute crammers’ – BUT does take an overtly social constructivist approach Different patch formats can be challenging in terms of ‘marking’ Peer feedback and dialogue needs to be scaffolded to get optimum benefit Digital communications can include e-portfolios such as Pebblepad, Blogs, VLE discussion boards etc.
This mirrors our DePTA project brief 20 mins for this 1 st part of the activity Use coloured card, pens etc.
Different lenses can be multi-disciplinary, or can be professional/service user; professional/voluntary sector; performer/audience
