The Secrets to Student Engagement & Compliance in Online Learning PresentationCirculus Education
Our first Industry Drinks Event of 2016 was held on the 19th of February, and was all about Student Online Engagement and Compliance. We are often asked countless questions around improving the student experience in online learning, so we've decided to answer all your questions! In this presentation, our Managing Director, Caroline Brock, shares the secrets of how to strike a balance between compliance, student outcomes, and business growth in online learning.
With class sizes increasing, it is becoming increasingly difficult to support research and writing activities. The extra workload associated with grading, checking assignments, and providing support outside of the classroom can become overwhelming. Through my experience in the Course Design Institute, I have learned about several tools that will be useful for increasing research and writing activities while maintaining a manageable workload. I have incorporated the use of online tools to support writing activities in a large undergraduate course, including Blackboard, Google Docs, and Wimba Classroom. In this session I will describe what worked and what didn’t work, and I will provide a brief demonstration of the techniques that have been most useful.

Tips for introducing active learning activities using OER and sharing your own content, shared by Jason Rhode @jrhode during Northern Illinois University's Teaching Effectiveness Institute, January 10, 2014
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.

Evaluating the Quality of Online Teaching D2L Barry
Presentation by Barry Dahl at the 2018 D2L Connection: London Edition.
This session addresses the development of a process that can be used to evaluate the quality of online teaching. The current evaluation processes at many colleges do not specifically address online instruction, and most academic administrators have limited personal experience with online course design and instruction. Two useful documents will be shared in this webinar. The first is a five-part Pre-Evaluation Worksheet. The second document is a five-category rubric for evaluating teaching performance of online instructors. The rubric could be used as a self-evaluation for faculty, as part of a peer review evaluation, or as part of an academic administrator’s evaluation of faculty. These documents are sharable and editable. Use these documents to start a faculty evaluation process or to build upon your existing process.

Evaluation is a process of making judgements to be used as a basis for planning. It consists of stablishing goals, collecting evidence, concerning growth towards goals, making judgements about the evidence and revising procedures and goals in the light of judgements. It is for improving the product, the process and even the goals in themselves.

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.

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.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

• Feedback from students on groupwork
– ↑ groupwork in assignments
• Feedback from students on peer assessment
– Recognition of input into the groupwork
– Not all group members receiving the same mark
3. Why WebPA?
• JISC-recommended tool
• Met our assessment development
requirements
• Simple interface
• Discussion with Stephen Vickers
• Intrepid students willing to take part in
the pilot
• Free!
4. Setting up an assessment
A three-step process:
• Create a criteria form
• Create groups
• Create an assessment
15. Grading assessments
• Straightforward tool for students and
staff
• The WebPA grading algorithm adapts
the group mark from the student grading
results to create the final mark
• Good range of reports and report
formats available
18. Assessment types used
• Three types of assessment used
• 1. Preparation of advisory booklet (yr 1 students)
– On dietary management of nutrition-related disorder
– One of two assessments on a 20 credit course
– 1000 word limit
– Worth 50 % of the total marks for the course
– Graded each other using WebPA
– Weighting factor 20 %
19. Assessment types used
• 2. Preparation of presentation (year 2 students)
– On aspect of exercise physiology
– 25 minute Powerpoint presentation
– One assessment on a 10 credit course
– Worth 100 % of the total marks for the course
– Graded each other using WebPA
– Weighting factor 20 %
20. Assessment types used
• 3. Preparation of presentation & abstract (yr 1)
– On aspect of equine science
– 25 minute Powerpoint presentation & 4 page abstract
– One of two assessments on a 20 credit course
– Worth 50 % of the total marks for the course
– Graded each other and themselves using WebPA
– Weighting factor 20 %
21. Feedback booklet - positive
• Most students said they would be happy to use WebPA
again
• A small number of students had technical difficulties, but
these were resolved
• Many students liked the group work and felt it brought the
group together
• Many liked that their mark could be partially influenced by
their peers
22. Feedback booklet - comments
“The group assignment was quite challenging to get
everybody together but it definitely opened my eyes to
how other people work differently to achieve the same
goals. Also it is a good lesson in compromise, you have
to accept other peoples perspective because the
assignment belongs to the whole group.”
23. Feedback booklet - negative
• A small number of students did not like the group work
• A small number of students did not like the use of peer
assessment
• “I don’t think its fair that the peers grade each other as
due to individual time constraints some people are not
able to be able to be as involved when the others want
them to be causing a negative feedback from the other
peers.”
24. Feedback booklet - negative
• “I don’t understand why the peer assessment was a
part of the assignment mark? How is our ability to peer
assess be relevant to our mark for Equine Science? I
see the benefit of doing it but I don’t think it should be
part of an assessment.”
25. Feedback presentation &
abstract - positive
• Most students said happy to use WebPA again
• A few students had technical difficulties, but these were
resolved
– “WebPA was easy to use.”
• Some students liked the group work and felt it brought
the group together (not as many as year 1)
• Some liked that their mark could be partially influenced
by their peers (not as may as year 1)
26. Feedback presentation &
abstract - negative
• Some students did not like the group work
• Some students did not like the use of peer assessment
• Some students had technical difficulties
• “WebPA was difficult to use for me. Only with prof help I
resolved the technical hitches.”
27. Feedback presentation &
abstract – negative
“I did not like the group assignment. I do recognize
the importance of work in a group, but I believe that
we as adults with social lives, work and study cope
with these issues very regularly. And the assignment
didn't feel as my personal work, which I regret and
had to do differently. At the same time the lessons
were going on and it was hard to perform both tasks
well in only 5 weeks.”
28. Feedback overall
• Overall the feedback was positive
• The technical support was key to the success
• One student misunderstood how the group mark was
affected
• Clarification on WebPA adjustment of mark resolved
this
29. Where do we go from here?
• Still in the pilot phase
• WebCT course authentication process
