FW: Reminder: Transforming Assessment next session 10 Dec 'learning analytics and scientific simulations'

 

Transforming Assessment Webinar Update

[via JISC email list - this is not direct mail - apologies for any cross posting]

Next session 10 December
"Learning analytics to understand student learning strategies and outcomes: a study involving scientific simulations"
Presenter: A/Prof. Barney Dalgarno (Charles Sturt University, Australia)

This seminar reports on a study in which initial conclusions about the relative merits of two online learning designs were thrown into question once student learning strategies, visible through learning analytic techniques, were analysed. The study compared learning outcomes from exploration and manipulation of computer-based scientific simulations with the outcomes from the presentation of simulation output. A key implication of the study is that in order to understand the learning resources and support our students need when undertaking online learning activities we need a deeper understanding of the strategies they adopt.
As well as describing the learning resources, experimental results and findings from this study, the seminar will discuss the broader question of how we can scrutinise student learning strategies in these kinds of online tasks. Various alternative approaches to analysing student online learning log file data will also be discussed along with the potential for the use of such methods to underpin the provision of dynamic support for students based on an automated characterisation of their learning strategies.

FW: Black & Minority Ethnic Student Experience and Attainment Seminar

 

View Web Version | Forward To A Colleague Share Events     Black & Minority Ethnic Student Experience and Attainment Seminar Date - Friday, 20 March 2015 Venue - SRHE, 73 Collier St, London N1 9BE Network - Student Experience Friday, 20 March 2015 This seminar explores the student experience and attainment of black and minority ethnic students. Although a long-standing research area in the US and many other countries, this has become an area of increasing policy interest in the UK. This seminar will explore current policy research, what BME students say about their experience of study, and discuss ideas for engaging and supporting them in the future. The seminar will provide an opportunity for participants to consider how research findings, policy and practice, as well as other research currently being undertaken to address the attainment gap, can inform practice and enhance the degree attainment of BME students in higher education. The need for taking an intersectional approach to student experience research and the challenges of broadly categorising research will also be explored. Speakers: Neil Currant, University of Bedfordshire, Head of Academic Professional Development, Research and institutional initiatives Anna Mountford-Zimdars and Duna Sabri, King's College London, HEFCE project on student attainment Jean Mutton, University of Derby, Student Experience Project Manager, institutional-based research and practice RAISE Research and Evaluation SIG Meeting 11.00-12:30 The seminar will be preceded by a meeting of the Research and Evaluation SIG of the RAISE (Researching, Advancing and Inspiring Student Engagement) Network, all welcome to attend.   Note: Unless otherwise stated SRHE events are free to members, there is a charge of £60 for non-members.   Unsubscribe from SRHE updates You are receiving this email as our records indicate that you are interested in SRHE updates.
