Managing active data: storage, access, academic dropbox servicesMarieke Guy
Researchers need to store and access active data for their work. They often use local storage devices and email to manage their data, but these methods lack resilience. Institutions provide network storage, but their systems are rarely used by researchers for active data access and sharing. An ideal solution would transparently synchronize local and network storage, providing both the convenience of local access and the resilience of network attached storage. However, there are challenges to managing active research data at large scales, including file sizes, storage locations, costs, ease of use, network transfers, versions, and access rights that institutions aim to address.

This document provides a summary of a blog post from 2009 discussing technology trends and forecasting the future. It begins by describing the optimistic views of technologies at the time, like videoconferencing and Twitter. However, it notes critics who argue this is "technological determinism" that promises more than technologies deliver.
The blog post then discusses an approach the author took - forecasting technologies backwards in time to give plausible reasons for their demise. For example, it suggests Twitter would not scale and become "clogged", seen as similar to email spam, and be replaced by meeting in real pubs with real friends. For videoconferencing, it speculates research may find people prefer face-to-face meetings and

next generation technologies to build sustainable communities of practiceGeorge Roberts
The document discusses using next generation technologies to build sustainable communities of practice. It describes the Emerge project which used Web 2.0 technologies and appreciative inquiry to foster positive change among individuals. Realizing benefits requires recognizing that communities are multi-modal and not defined by any single platform. Sustainable community practice involves negotiating control between individuals and institutions.
Cloudworks and CloudEngine are platforms that allow users to share ideas across professional boundaries through the use of "clouds" and "cloudscapes". Cloudworks has over 4000 registered users and 95,000 unique visitors weekly. CloudEngine is free open source software that powers Cloudworks and allows users to create social websites using clouds and cloudscapes. It features messaging, hosting events, search, profiles, and more. Evaluation of Cloudworks uses a conceptual community framework to understand interaction and knowledge sharing on the platform.
The document discusses the need for a national e-learning infrastructure in Norway called eCampus Norge. It proposes building a shared infrastructure to facilitate ubiquitous access to education, collaboration between institutions, and the reuse of educational resources. This would help standardize technology, lower costs, and make student and faculty life easier. The eCampus Norge initiative would focus on developing communities for sharing, supporting digital skills, providing an operational technical infrastructure, and coordinating e-learning efforts across Norway through 2014.
The document provides updates on several JANET initiatives:
1) EdLab, an online collaboration space for technical staff, added new audio/video materials and discussion forums.
2) JANET's videoconferencing capacity was doubled with new HD-capable equipment, improving picture quality on existing systems.
3) Moodle developments included a mobile app and integration with an external learning object repository.
4) The JANET Collaborate pilot project received positive feedback and will focus on improving search and attracting more members/content.
5) A second phase trial of the JANET Talk collaboration tool aims to understand usage and inform a sustainable business model.

QAA Annual Conference, The Future of Quality: What’s Next?
Wednesday 13 September 2023
Closing remarks: Assessment with Phill DawsonMarieke Guy
Marieke Guy gave the closing remarks for the assessment conference at UCL. She highlighted several themes from the conference including cross-team, cross-institution, and cross-sector collaboration on digital assessment. Two talks focused on using feedback to improve student learning and preparing students for their future through valid assessments not tied to the past. The conference organizers and host King's College London were thanked for their work in bringing people together to discuss advancing assessment practices.
This document summarizes a presentation given by Simon Walker and Marieke Guy about the University College London's (UCL) journey towards digital transformation of assessment and feedback.
Some key points:
- UCL implemented a secure digital assessment platform called AUCL in response to the COVID-19 pandemic to deliver over 1,000 assessments remotely.
- Since then UCL has expanded usage of AUCL, with over 1,600 exams and 65,000 students using it in year two.
- Student and staff surveys showed mostly positive feedback but also areas for improvement like assessment weightings, duration, and content representation.
- UCL is piloting lockdown browsers, improving academic integrity, and partnering with
The document summarizes UCL's pilot of using a lockdown browser for digital assessments. It describes the rationale for using a lockdown browser, details four pilot programs conducted or planned at UCL involving different locations, devices and numbers of students, and key areas of interest being evaluated including device type, online management and invigilation, and student and staff perspectives. The goal is to assess the viability and scalability of using lockdown browsers to help ensure academic integrity for digital assessments conducted in-person.
Digital Assessment Team 2022 - a day in the life.pptxMarieke Guy
The Digital Assessment Team at UCL provides support for digital assessment across all faculties. The team consists of specialists in different subject areas as well as learning technologists. They provide training to staff and departments on UCL's digital assessment platform AssessmentUCL. Additionally, the team works on improvements to the platform, investigates new assessment tools, and supports the use of other tools like Turnitin and Moodle. The team's workload is consistent throughout the year with no downtime between project sprints and ongoing support requests.
This document discusses various approaches to assessment using AssessmentUCL. It describes using dynamic questions and variables in multiple choice assessments. It also discusses allocating different papers or versions to students, using videos for assessments, group activities, mock scenarios, and providing improved feedback including audio/video. Other approaches mentioned include industry case studies, portfolios, infographics, rethinking coursework, and online marking.
Designing alternative assessments requires analyzing how technology tools can help or hinder learning goals, getting student feedback on new approaches, and adapting processes based on data. Assessment should be integrated into course and program design from the start and linked to learning outcomes, and attending workshops or speaking with a Digital Assessment Advisor can provide support on effective strategies.
MCQs_ The joys of making your mind up.pdfMarieke Guy
Explore the benefits and challenges of using MCQs in both formative and summative assessment, and get practical guidance on designing good MCQs in AssessmentUCL.
4 March, 10.30am-11.30am. Online event.
Multiple choice questions have often had a bad rap in education, sometimes seen as assessing only lower level skills such as factual recall. However, with good question design this assessment approach can allow for testing of more complex cognitive processes. Add in the increasing sophistication of options offered by digital assessment platforms, which allow automatic grading and statistical analysis, and you can begin to significantly streamline your marking processes.
This workshop will explore the benefits and challenges of using MCQs in both formative and summative assessment and provide practical guidance on:

Making your mind up: Formalising the evaluation of learning technologies Marieke Guy
The document discusses the need for institutions to take a more formal approach to evaluating learning technologies. It introduces some existing evaluation frameworks like the Educause rubric and SECTIONS model. It then outlines UCEM's approach, which involved thoroughly investigating requirements, identifying systems to evaluate, developing a testing plan based on the Educause rubric, testing functionality and data flows, and involving stakeholders before selecting a new assessment platform. Attendees at the talk were asked to provide ideas on evaluation processes and challenges through a Mural board.
The document describes several video assessment techniques that can be used for students:
1. Students record or upload a video presentation on a topic and receive automatic feedback to improve their presentation skills.
2. Students upload a video demonstrating a skill and receive feedback to enhance their competency.
3. In a virtual classroom, students collaborate to record a group presentation and provide peer assessment on each other's contributions.
4. Students record video responses to pre-recorded questions to practice interview techniques through a standardized question/answer approach.
This document discusses alternative assessment methods and provides rationales and ideas for various approaches. It proposes using video assessments to allow students to practice real-world skills, eportfolios to enable continuous assessment and reflection, and industry case studies/scenarios to provide authentic assessments aligned with industry. Other suggestions include mini-quizzes for varied engagement and assessment, and balancing new approaches with resources. The goal is to better prepare students through assessment practices that mimic the real world.
The Transnational Online Pivot: A Case Study Exploring Online Delivery in ChinaMarieke Guy
This document summarizes a case study exploring the transition to online delivery of teaching content in China due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Academics from the Royal Agricultural University normally travel to China to teach students in-person, but had to shift to delivering pre-recorded lectures and holding interactive Zoom sessions. While online teaching can overcome geographical barriers, it also presents challenges like language differences and student engagement. Feedback from students indicated interactive sessions worked best when broken into shorter segments. Academics found recording lectures technically straightforward but time-consuming and felt isolated from students. Mixed methods were argued to provide multiple views for understanding the student experience in this transnational online environment.
