Evaluation of the Use of VoiceThread for AssessmentWendy Taleo
Although multimodality is increasingly used in teaching, learning and assessment, there is little
in the literature that speaks to how VoiceThread (VT) is used for assessment purposes in higher
education. This study contributes to this knowledge by evaluating how VT was used for
assessment purposes at one Australian university and exploring how lecturers and students
experience the use of VT in assessment tasks. Data were collected through interviews with
lecturers, surveys and a focus group with students and review of the use of the VT tool itself.
A five-part VT assessment process was identified and support structures for staff and students
were mapped. The study found that despite the multimedia capability of VT, text only slides
and text with visual slides were the most common design of student created media, while text,
audio and video commenting were used across the six units in the study. Lecturers primarily
used audio comments and grades in the feedback process. While assessment submission was
not always straight forward, and students required extra support with this unfamiliar tool, the
opportunity to engage in multimodal assessment tasks was received positively by students and
staff as an opportunity to enhance the diversity of assessment and feedback.

Barbour, M. K., Kinsella, J. & Rieber, L. P. (2007, October). PowerPoint games in K-12 e-learning environments. Paper presentation at the annual World Conference on E-Learning in Corporate, Government, Healthcare and Higher Education, Quebec City , QC.
There is no denying the success and popularity of WebQuests among teachers. WebQuests are very creative and very useful. For those of us interested in technology integration in the schools, this is a significant step in the right direction. Yet, WebQuests are instructivist examples of technology integration – they are web-enhanced forms of direct instruction (albeit some teachers have students create their own WebQuests). We consider constructing homemade PowerPoint games as a constructionist alternative to WebQuests. PowerPoint is nearly ubiquitous software tool and PowerPoint games are already a familiar part of many classrooms, though usually in the form of already existing games (such as Jeopardy) that a teacher modifies for instruction. This project is different in that it contends that a better use of class time for learning is to turn over the act of game design to the children themselves. In this project, students in social studies course delivered by a mid-western high school designed PowerPoint Games as a means to review for portions of their mid-term examination.

Confidence is key: a successful approach to teaching statisticsLearningandTeaching
Teaching statistics has increasingly been regarded as a complex mission to accomplish as it consists of many different mathematical components with many variables. Despite extensive research work in developing education in statistics, this discipline still requires significant improvement in how it is taught. Most students at university have a lack of interest in undertaking statistics courses due different factors - some of them are related to teaching techniques and others are related to method of assessment.
In these slides, Saad Odeh presents an effective teaching technique in statistics developed by SIBT teachers. Rather than enabling the cohort by providing them with extra help to progress in statistics, the idea was to improve their confidence when they do the major assessment, 'the final exam'.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
