Assessments (exams) are one of the most important incentives for student motivation and student learning. Are you assessing all you want/need to assess and are you assessing at the right time?
Assessments have multiple functions such as judgement of student achievement, certification, and support for student learning. It is difficult to balance these functions and each course module has different challenges.
The workshop will be a mixture of inspiration to new assessment methods, general and specific considerations at ST, and a redesign of assessment methods in your own teaching. A special focus will be assessment and feedback during the course module (continuous assessment).
You will be introduced to various techniques, which can be used to create student activity and interaction in your lecture. You will learn digital techniques, like for example AU VOTE. You will also learn 'analog' techniques to activate the students (e.g. Memory Matrix where students place concepts in a matrix) or one-minute papers (the last two minutes of the lecture is spent on student answers the question: "What was the most important thing you learned today?"and discuss it with the person next to him/her).
You will get hands-on experience with the tools and you will work with the tools in relation to your own teaching.
After the workshop you will be able to
During the workshop you will rethink/update the learning outcomes and competences for your own course module according to constructive alignment. You will discuss how you can use the SOLO taxonomy to make your leaning goals more precise. How is progression considered within your course module and in relation to previous and later courses? If your course module train and assess important academic competencies, how can these be included in the learning outcomes?
After the workshop you should be able to
If done the right way, videos are an effective and useful medium for the development and transformation of teaching, making it more flexible, engaging, and activating. It supports students' individual needs and demands.
At ST there are various ways to easily produce and distribute video based material in your teaching. We have three do-it-yourself webcast studios, you can borrow tablets to produce tabletcasts, we have screencast software, etc.
At this workshop, you will be presented with different video formats, discuss the teaching considerations, and test different formats for video based materials as well as produce your own teaching materials.
You will be introduced to Blackboard through short lectures and hands-on exercises. The workshop gives you an overview of the system and its principles. You will be introduced to the functionalities needed to teach and get insight into the use of Blackboard at Science and Technology.
Learn how to include videos from e.g. YouTube, Vimeo as well as videos you have produced yourself (the actual production of videos is not covered in this webinar). You will learn how to include videos in a course page in Blackboard, and you will get inspiration on how to use the videos for enhancing student learning.
A learning module is an online way to structure your teaching and/or the students' preparation in a predetermined, sequential structure. The workshop focuses on:
You will learn about tools, which enables you as teacher/teaching assistant to give individual feedback on written assignments as well as organise assignments where students give peer-feedback via Blackboard.
You will get hands-on experience with the tools in Blackboard, and you will be working with your own teaching during the workshop.
