1) peerScholar is a tech tool aimed at developing transferrable skills and metacognition in students through feedback.
2) The presentation discusses making feedback more effective by having students participate in the feedback cycle by demonstrating they have read and applied feedback.
3) Metacognition and reflection are important parts of learning how to give and receive feedback effectively.
Randomized Assignment Generator for Brightspace
The presentation introduces a randomized assignment generator tool developed by Virtual High School (VHS) to address issues of academic integrity as student enrollment increased. The generator utilizes the randomized folders feature in the quizzing tool to create unique assignments for each student by drawing from a bank of questions. The presentation provides instructions on setting up assessments using the generator by configuring properties, restrictions, assessments, submission views, and table of contents. It was found to initially reduce instances of academic integrity but a more robust solution was later needed as enrollments continued growing.
Footholds and Foundations: Setting Freshmen on the Path to Lifelong Learning
This document summarizes the development and results of a software tool created to assess student learning from library instruction sessions at the University of North Texas. The software allows for anonymous pre- and post-testing of students to measure changes in skills like database searching and finding help from a librarian. Analysis found a 33.2% increase in students' ability to search an academic database, and decreases in library anxiety and ability to find librarian help between pre- and post-tests. The assessment tool is being offered for other institutions to use.

Designing Tools for Programme Evaluation in Open and Distance Learning
This document discusses tools for collecting data to evaluate distance education programs. It identifies questionnaires, interviews, observation sheets, and tests as common tools. Effective tools are valid, reliable, and use clear, unbiased questions to gather needed data without suggesting answers. Questions should address behaviors, attitudes, and demographics at an appropriate comprehension level. The types of data sought, such as nominal, ordinal, interval, influence question format and responses. Proper tool preparation includes defining objectives, creating and validating items, pre-testing, and modifying based on feedback.
Designing, developing, and evaluating a real time student dashboard
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.

Forward thinking feedback at UEA
Feedback to students on their work and attainment is at the centre of successful learning in higher education. However many top rated universities find it hard to match high levels of student satisfaction with teaching and learning in general with levels of satisfaction in assessment and feedback. There are many factors which impact the quality of the feedback, and at UEA we are keen that the opportunities to enrich through digitisation are not constrained to the replication of previously paper based practices. For this reason we have initiated a project to harness all of Blackboardäó»s interactive tools to raise the quality of feedback. The overall aim of the project is to embed assessment and feedback in teaching and learning, so that feedback becomes a dialogic process and not a product in itself. This presentation is a report on our progress so far and looks at a range of interventions and their results, as we scale up to campus wide integration of Blackboard assessment and feedback tools. The evidence of impact comes from the academic community and students. We welcome interaction from fellow delegates during the presentation, as we discuss how Blackboard supports us to move forward with feedback.
Jee mantra maths
The document outlines JEE Mantra's course structure for success on exams like the IIT-JEE. It discusses offering a 15-day brush up program covering common PCM topics to prepare students. JEE Mantra also analyzes each student's strengths and weaknesses, creating personalized priority topic lists and test styles. For mathematics, difficult sections include calculus, notation, applications, and relating analytical and graphical concepts. Students struggle with inequalities, geometry, and quick methods. For algebra, permutations and combinations are challenging areas, and probability problems cause fear. JEE Mantra aims to provide practical differentiation training and analytical approaches to overcome these issues.
Preliminary Results from Field Testing of DL Curriculum Modules
The authors have proposed the development and validation of curricular and educational materials to support graduate and undergraduate education in digital librarianship. Several curriculum modules have now been developed. Experts in digital librarianship and digital library education have reviewed each. Further validation of these modules will be obtained through this evaluation study, prior to their widespread dissemination.
2021 nyu-learn - ai for academic advising, a matter of trust
This document discusses using machine learning and predictive models to provide academic advising support through learning analytics dashboards. It describes prior research on developing dashboards to predict student success based on academic and personal data. The goal is to incorporate these predictive models into advising by using explainable AI techniques. A user study was conducted to evaluate an interactive advising dashboard that provides explanations for predictions. The study found the dashboard helped advisors assess students and identify improvement areas, though explanations also triggered questions about model reliability when conflicting with advisors' mental models. The document concludes interactive explainers can help apply predictive models to advising but also require attention to potential cognitive overload and ensuring explanations match advisors' understanding.

A simple approach for assessing answer validity information from a student crowd in an online learning scenario context. Raises the questions about using of the student crowds for enhancing learning content and online student collaboration.
Tasq
The document proposes a Teaching Assistant Scheduler & Question-Solver (TASQ) system to more efficiently manage teaching assistant office hours. TASQ would aggregate student questions, schedule students with similar questions together, and build a central repository of questions and answers. This would allow teaching assistants to better prepare for office hours, reduce redundant explanations, and make more efficient use of time. Potential issues that could arise include teaching assistants needing to spend more time outside of office hours managing questions and last-minute questions.
Software Evaluation Assignment
The document evaluates and compares potential software options for Komarek School's 1:1 initiative and math department. For communication software, Schoology is recommended over Edmodo as it has more robust discussion capabilities, is more compatible with iOS, and will integrate better with their student information system in the future. For math software, Geometer's Sketchpad is recommended over Math Success Deluxe as it is more interactive, aligned to standards, compatible with their devices, and has available curriculum materials.

1) The document discusses the evolution of two skeletal muscle proteins called sarcomeric α-actinins, which are encoded by the ACTN2 and ACTN3 genes.
2) These proteins diverged through gene duplication around 250-300 million years ago but still share high sequence similarity.
3) While ACTN2 is expressed more widely, ACTN3 became restricted to fast glycolytic muscle fibers. Approximately 1 billion people worldwide lack ACTN3 due to a common genetic variant.
Emergent learning
The document discusses emergent learning and learning ecologies in Web 2.0 environments. It explores the conditions that enable self-organized, emergent learning and how to integrate emergent and prescriptive learning approaches. The document presents case studies on emergent learning in Wikipedia, early childhood education, massive open online courses, a self-organizing masters course, and a "Hole in the Wall" experiment. Key findings are that emergent learning increasingly occurs whether intended or not, and that teachers and managers need to rethink provision to balance openness with constraints through monitoring, response, and supporting positive outcomes.

Qcl-14-v3_Pareto Diagram Bunking of Lectures_SIMSREE_Divya Adity Selvaraj Nadar
This document summarizes a team project analyzing reasons students bunk lectures using a Pareto diagram. The team surveyed 121 students and found that 52.89% reported boring lectures as the top reason, followed by co-curricular activities at 19.83% and hectic schedules at 6.61%. These top 3 reasons accounted for nearly 80% of responses. The team concluded addressing boring lectures, scheduling of extracurricular activities, and time management could significantly reduce bunking according to Pareto's 80/20 principle.
Use of online quizzes to support inquiry-based learning in chemical engineering
Online quizzes have been developed to help prepare first year undergraduate Chemical Engineering students for participating in group based assignments carried out in an inquiry-based learning (IBL) format. These online quizzes based within WebCT Vista allow the students to test their understanding of the fundamental chemical process principles required for the assignments before they participate in the IBL activity. Currently, the classes size is about 70 students therefore it is important to develop the students’ ability to carry out independent and self- directed learning to acquire these core skills. Using these online quizzes, the students are able to self-assess their strengths and weaknesses in the core chemical engineering principles and practice so that they come to the IBL group work more prepared.
The effectiveness of the online quizzes has been evaluated, using a triangulation approach incorporating a student questionnaire, student focus group and project leaders’ interview. Preliminary analysis of the results suggests that the students have found the online quizzes beneficial for developing their core skills in chemical process principles. The presentation will provide: a showcase for the online quizzes created; feedback from the first cohort of students to use the resources; and lessons learned and future developments.
How can e-Learning allow BBS to offer our students more?
This presentation discusses how BBS, a business school, can use e-learning to offer more opportunities to students. It summarizes current e-learning practices among colleagues and how BBS might advance its use of e-learning in teaching, learning, and assessment. A survey of BBS module leaders found that most currently use the student portal for administrative information or basic course materials, but few utilize interactive features. The presentation explores flexible and distributed learning models and practical applications of e-learning at BBS, such as online discussions, assignments, substituting lectures with multimedia, and using online resources to update case studies.
More than the metrics
This document summarizes a study on assessment workload at an unnamed institution. It analyzed 5 programs across 5 faculties to understand staff and student workloads during one semester. Key findings include clustering of assessments towards the end of semester for students, with large variations in time spent on tasks. For staff, there was lack of awareness of workloads in other modules. Recommendations include improved communication across programs on assessments and asking staff about expected student time. The document provides contact details and references literature on best practices for measuring and standardizing assessment workload.
More than the metrics - SEDA 2018
This document summarizes a study on assessment workload at an unnamed institution. It profiles summative continuous assessment workloads for students and staff during one semester. Key findings include that multiple assessments often cluster towards the end of semester. Students generally spend 1 day or less on assessments regardless of weighting, while time spent varies greatly for group work. Staff are often unaware of workloads in other modules. Recommendations include better communication across programmes on assessments and asking students why they spend certain amounts of time on assessments.
