The document provides best practices for creating effective tests and surveys. It emphasizes that assessments should have clear relevance to learning objectives and use accurate questions aligned to the material. A variety of question types can be used but they should be clear, avoid bias, and follow a predictable sequence. Feedback is important to provide learning and should be timely, neutral, and explain both right and wrong answers. Results should be monitored and experts consulted to ensure quality.
NOWAL Fcous Groups Exchange of ExperienceWill Reid
Focus groups are a qualitative research method where a small group of people are brought together by a facilitator to discuss and share perceptions on a topic. They can be used at any stage of research to generate hypotheses, assess results, or develop other research tools. Benefits include obtaining diverse attitudes and experiences in a time efficient way. However, they require organizational and facilitation skills to effectively guide discussion and avoid drawbacks like some participants dominating. Ethical practices like informed consent and confidentiality are also important. A case study example involved using focus groups to gather feedback on a new student learning zone before its official opening.
Key differences between face2face and online teachingsmartcreative
The document outlines several key differences between online and face-to-face teaching. Online learners may be unfamiliar with expectations and procedures, so instructors must clearly spell out instructions. Online learners are also more likely to quit quickly if the course does not meet their needs, so instructors should provide encouragement and interaction from the start. While face-to-face classes have participators who ask questions, online instructors must be prepared to answer more questions individually. Despite these differences, some principles remain the same, like ensuring clear expectations, regular communication, and quality interaction between students.

Preparing to Teach Online Creates New Possibilities for Face-to-Face TeachingCarol McQuiggan
This document summarizes the results of an action research study on a professional development program to prepare faculty to teach online. The study examined the effectiveness of the program's approaches in helping faculty reflect on their assumptions about teaching and the impact on their face-to-face teaching. Key findings include that opportunities to talk with experienced colleagues, explore online course examples, and reflect on preparations were most effective in supporting changes in faculty assumptions. The study also found that reflective writing and discussions helped reveal changes in faculty beliefs and led some to incorporate more student-centered practices, like reduced lecturing, in their face-to-face courses. A lack of time for reflection presented a barrier to changes, while more preparation time online allowed for more reflection opportunities
This document discusses preparing students and instructors for elearning. It emphasizes that students may struggle with the exploratory nature of online learning compared to traditional classrooms where instructors directly provide answers. To help students, instructors should provide support like introductions, schedules, links to resources and scheduled chat times. Students also need basic computer/internet skills and self-direction. Instructors should familiarize themselves with online tools, take courses as students, and test course elements before teaching. Preparing both students and instructors is key to avoiding high dropout rates in online learning.
