2. Next session 5 November
"Designing effective assessment for participative learning online"
Brant Knutzen, University of Hong Kong.
Have you ever designed a great forum discussion activity, but your students didn't engage and your hopes for group collaboration and knowledge construction were dashed?
This seminar will demonstrate several new tools to help you achieve 100% participation in your online discussions, the foundation for effective collaboration and communicative learning. The Participation Forum is a customized module which sets up "semi-private" group discussion areas and then automatically awards points for participation. The Participation Map is a learning analytic tool which generates a visual display of student interactivity in the forum discussion as well as providing group and forum-level statistics that quantify activity. The Participation Glossary is a customised module which automatically awards points for each new term that a student contributes, and also supports peer ratings.
The first half hour of the seminar will review the pedagogy and instructional design of the tools, and the remaining half hour will offer all attendees the chance to try them out in a hands-on workshop environment. These new teaching tools have been developed and tested on all Moodle 2 versions, and are currently in production use at the University of Hong Kong on Moodle ver 2.6.1+.
