3 March 2021 "Student agency and confidence in assessment"
Simon McCallum, (32Stylus, New Zealand; Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, and Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway)
In this presentation, Dr McCallum will discuss the various approaches he has taken over 20 years to the challenge of engaging students. Drawing on his research in Game Development and player-focused approaches to creating experiences, he discusses agency, competence, and relatedness as psychological motivators and how assessment can support engagement. How the narrative description of assessment is as important as the mathematical correctness. Topics covered will include: confidence-based assessment, student selected rubric weighting, peer assessment, multichoice systems, online exams, and digital supported assessment.
Note the start time of 0700 universal time and 1 hour duration (7am UK/IE, 3pm SG/HK, 6pm SYD/MEL).
