FW: Open Lectures at the University of Greenwich

 

The University of Greenwich holds monthly open lectures in teaching and learning.

 

The next open lecture will be on the 19th November, from 17:00-18:00 at our new Stockwell Street Building.

 

Speaker:   Dr Abbi Flint –Higher Education Academy

Title:   Engagement through partnership: students as partners in learning and teaching in Higher Education

 

Abstract: Engaging students in meaningful ways with their learning is arguably one of the most important issues facing higher education (HE) in the 21st Century. In recent years, partnership with students has become a key concept in the discourse of both the policy and practice of student engagement, although the term is often interpreted and employed in different ways. This session will draw on recent publications from the Higher Education Academy (HEA 2014; Healey, Flint and Harrington 2014) to outline a new framework for partnership with students in learning and teaching. 

 

The presentation will explore:

•             definitions and rationales for engagement through partnership

•             a new conceptual model for exploring the different areas of learning and teaching where partnership may take place

•             examples of sustainable and strategic practices

•             tensions, opportunities and suggestions for the development of work in this area

 

Dr Abbi Flint is a Consultant in Academic Practice at the Higher Education Academy. Abbi has 11 years’ experience of educational development and pedagogic research at both the institutional and national level. Abbi’s current role concerns student engagement and partnership in their learning experiences, curriculum design and quality enhancement. She is an active qualitative researcher and a Visiting Research Fellow in Student Engagement at Birmingham City University. She regularly presents at UK and international conferences and has published on a range of topics including: student engagement in quality enhancement, student engagement surveys, the NSS, and cultural change in HE.

FW: Reminder: online session 5 Nov 'assessment for participative learning online'

 

Transforming Assessment Webinar Update

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

In this issue:
1. Next session 5 November: "Designing effective assessment for participative learning online"
2. eAssessment Scotland 2014 online session recordings now published

----------------------------------

1. 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+.
