Online Tests: Can we do them better? | Bopelo Boitshwarelo, Jyoti Vemuri, Han...
The use of e-assessment methods to facilitate and evaluate learning is a growing trend in the higher education space. In particular, the use of online tests has increased rapidly concomitant with the expansion of digital technologies for teaching purposes. Online tests, in the context of this presentation, refer to computer assisted-assessment where the deployment and marking is automated and typically involves objective types of questions such as multiple choice questions (MCQs), true/false questions, matching questions as well as predetermined short answer questions. The growing sophistication of Learning Management Systems(LMSs) such as Blackboard provide an increasing capacity for different types of online tests to be deployed, administered and marked efficiently. Additionally, most major textbook publishers and authors in certain disciplines provide online question banks that can easily integrate with LMSs meaning less time is spent on creating tests from scratch.
With these trends in mind, questions arise around the efficacy of online tests in higher education.
In this presentation we will share findings of a study investigating practices around online tests. First, we will explore what the literature reveals about the role of online tests in higher education and particularly how online tests are used to lead to student learning through formative assessment processes and feedback practices. Secondly, the presentation will review the practices around online tests at the Charles Darwin University Business School and discuss emerging issues. Thirdly, the presentation will distil some preliminary guiding principles around designing, developing, administering and reviewing online tests for effective learning and assessment. Finally, ongoing and further research by the team on the topic of online tests will be highlighted.
E rate
The document discusses the E-Rate program which provides 20-90% discounts on telecommunication services for eligible schools and libraries, with the discount based on the percentage of students eligible for free or reduced lunch; to qualify for E-Rate funding, schools must have a technology plan with goals for technology use, a professional development strategy, an assessment of technology needs, and a budget; the goals of SBS Technology Plan are to improve student achievement through technology, ensure effective classroom access, increase teacher and student technology skills, and increase productivity.
Using Blackboard Learn alongside Microsoft OneNote: the overlaps, the complem...
Beginning in 2016, Nossal High School began to focus its professional learning for staff on the use of Microsoft OneNote as complementary teaching and learning software to the MH Blackboard Learn environment we have run for the last 5 years. In this time, the speed and depth of the take up of OneNote and its impact on the teaching and learning experience of staff and students has been dramatic. Not only have our students fully embraced OneNote from a learners' perspective, all teaching and support staff are using Microsoft OneNote to record their own professional development, maintaining an ongoing conversation with the college executive and collecting evidence for their personal records.
This rapid adoption has forced us to consider closely what OneNote elements overlap with Bb Learn, which features are complementary with Bb Learn and ultimately, what part these two software solutions will have within our overall teaching and learning program.
During the presentation, I will be looking at the features of Bb Learn and OneNote that we intend to keep unique to each environment, as well as the elements that we are comfortable in having some overlap. Our overall aim is to ensure we are promoting to staff the most effective software solution for any given purpose whilst ensuring our students are not confused about the location of resources and information from class to class.
I will conclude with what we currently see as the most effective arrangement for the use of these two software packages going forward.

Change mgmt
The document discusses how organizational change is difficult and requires changing employee attitudes and behaviors through psychological programs and cultural transformation, which can only happen gradually by applying knowledge, having role models, gaining employee commitment, addressing issues, and ensuring employees feel personal benefits from and ownership of the change process. Failure to properly manage change through this process is a common reason why organizational changes often fail.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Slf sqa - using e-assessment to support cf e - 100914
Editor's Notes
- Priorities in BtC 5 grouped under eight key ideas None entirely new but all given additional prominence Should be used to shape assessment processes that will meet the needs of CfE
- Active engagement of learner a key feature of CfE Key elements are: Teachers sharing learning intentions Indicating what is a good measure of success Learners need early and accurate feedback and chance to discuss this with teachers Further than this learners should be involved in choosing assessment approaches and selecting the evidence To do this learners need to be able to evaluate their own work effectively
- Learners need to demo knowledge, understanding and skill This requires a range of evidence drawn from a range of assessment approaches Teachers should chose assessment approaches in discussion with learners that are best suited to learners’ circumstances and the requirements of a specific assessment.
- As far as possible, all assessments should: Evaluate success across a range of experiences and outcomes Demonstrate the ability to: respond to the level of challenge presented apply the knowledge in circumstances other than those in which it was acquired Breadth – connections across outcomes Challenge – depth: more than the acquisition of knowledge Application – the ability to turn knowledge to practical effect
- CfE identifies the four contexts as: Learning within curriculum areas Interdisciplinary learning Ethos and life of the school as a community Broader opportunities for achievement in the outside world ‘ Schools expected to recognise and celebrate all aspects of achievement and help young people to present a comprehensive view of their accomplishments.’
- Essential that common, in-depth understanding of standards in Es and Os and qualifications should be shared by teachers and all with an interest in the education system. Professional dialogue is central to the creation of this understanding
- Need to be able to assess understanding, skills and personal qualities as well as knowledge. ‘ In many cases this means using innovative approaches that give greater validity while preserving the standards of reliability of more traditional forms of assessment’.
- ‘ Comment should be made on those aspects of learning that are important, not merely on those that are easy to measure.’ ‘ Reporting should be regular and is particularly important at points of transition…’ ‘ It is also important that reporting activity should be proportionate and not unnecessarily burdensome.’
- Emphasis on the importance of QA at an establishment level to ensure that assessment is: Fit for purpose Valid and reliable Takes account of national standards Focuses on breadth, challenge and application Promotes active learner engagement
