Calamity & Creativity in Chemistry
This document discusses alternative assessments in chemistry education to promote information literacy. It proposes having students research a topic of their choice, produce an output like a presentation, and reflect on their work. Examples of assessments include evaluating online information and identifying inaccurate chemistry facts, creating a screencast presentation on topics like inorganic or environmental chemistry, and producing an infographic to explain a concept. The goal is to have students create and share content while developing skills in areas like peer learning and assessment. It acknowledges that developing new assessments takes significant effort but can be useful for a few years before needing to be revised.
Developing Conceptual Understanding Through Alternative Assessment
This document discusses using alternative assessments such as infographics and annotated bibliographies. It proposes assessing students through infographics (15%) and assessed problems (20%). Benefits of infographics include condensing information for easier understanding. Considerations include ensuring topics are researchable and developing students' graphic design skills. Feedback from students found ranking peer infographics first helped understand assessment criteria. The document discusses using comparative judgement for peer assessment and collecting student feedback on the process.

Audience response systems (ARS) permit students to answer electronically displayed multiple-choice questions using a remote control device. In higher education, more and more lecturers use ARS to engage their students more intensively, especially when it comes to mass lectures. This paper deals with the questions how ARS as an innovative technology can foster the feedback of students during ex-cathedra teaching and how this feedback can contribute to quality assurance in academic teaching. The examination of advantages and challenges of using ARS as well as of their didactical and technical potentials combines theoretical considerations with an online survey among the more than two hundred students enrolled in a mass lecture held in winter term 2015 at the University of Innsbruck. Additionally, the responsible lecturers were asked to share their experience using an ARS for the first time. In closing, the paper provides some answers if and how ARS are valuable instruments to enhance quality assurance in higher education.General education meeting q3 2010

How Much Choice is Too Much Choice
Providing a learner-centered perspective is in keeping with modern constructivist approaches to learning, and this means that courses must be designed with learner attributes and choice in mind. Concerns over accreditation and the need for accountability at the post-secondary level seem to contradict freedom of choice and flexibility of term work, but this need not be the case. This paper outlines numerous strategies for offering choice and flexibility to students in a freshman programming course. Approaches include flexible deadlines, the ability to re-submit work that has already been assessed, writing tasks, contributing to course content, bonuses for embellishments and extra work, and choices about which problems to solve. All of the strategies have been employed in classes, and students’ reactions as well as effects on student engagement and quality of work are described.

Creating a new teaching programme within a functional model - Carey
Creating a new teaching programme within a functional model - CareyIL Group (CILIP Information Literacy Group)
Áine Carey is a Teaching and Research Development Librarian at Maynooth University in Ireland. She manages a team that provides information literacy instruction using a new functional model with three areas of focus: Teaching and Learning, Research Support, and Academic Engagement. The university adopted a new curriculum emphasizing critical thinking skills, prompting the library to map its information literacy classes to a new framework. The functional model has improved collaboration, though initial concerns about specialization existed. Student feedback is now sought to further enhance responsive, activity-based teaching that scaffolds skills development.It Takes a Curriculum: Preparing Students for Research and Creative Work
The shift to the Learning Paradigm and the call for more research-based education have
opened exciting new possibilities for higher education. Unfortunately, while the
Learning Paradigm has been applied to the whole of higher education, the focus on
research has been primarily as an activity on the side, or suitable only for a subset of
university students. We argue that especially with the advent of the world wide web,
more ubiquitous access to the raw material of scholarship can now be readily available
to all students. What is needed is an approach that organizes the entire curriculum
around the mindset of a scholar and, just as importantly, incorporates an understanding
of where traditionally-aged university students are developmentally.
In this keynote, Dr Hodge lays out the rationale for the ‘student as scholar’ mindset,
describes the impact of technological advances on the possibilities for original research,
relates the ‘student as scholar’ to the core philosophy of a liberal arts and sciences
approach, describes the developmental stages of university students as they relate to
the students’ research potential, and then demonstrates how individual courses and a
curriculum can be constructed with this perspective.

Enhancement of motivation
Through the use of visual presentations, advancements in science and technology improve students’ motivation. Students study social science via educational videos that cover a variety of themes, including social disputes, sociological applications, social processes, and psychological viewpoints.
Students benefit from visual presentations, which is why teachers should incorporate films into their lesson plans. Numerous instructional tools and films are available and can be used to motivate not only students but also teachers.
Students who have struggled with homework at home can be inspired to study by focusing on specific subject areas. When kids make the connection between pictures and real life, some become more receptive to practicing their skills.
Carrying out research on the role of education

Role of education
Digital search and internet technologies have a beneficial effect on learners’ research habits. The environment has a significant impact on how students at various academic levels write and do research. The expansion of digital content has an effect on learners’ writing and research abilities, enabling them to be effective members of society.
Education has become more affordable.
College and university students are embracing technology as a source of inspiration and motivation as they work independently on assignments and essays. For instance, a student of science or data engineering can obtain essay examples on any subject and utilize them to direct their own research. Using Samplius’s essay examples on science is the ideal way to improve your skills in producing quality and interesting essays. There are numerous essay themes for college students to research as they strive to thrive academically.
Enhanced adaptability on the role of education
The flexibility and accessibility of information are inextricably linked as a result of technological improvements. Online classes eliminate the requirement for students to attend lessons at set times, which might be difficult for individuals with family commitments.
Learners can access course materials online and study and complete assignments at their convenience. What is critical is that they finish and submit their assignments on time.
