I recently attended the 28th Jisc Learning and Teaching Experts meeting; these meetings are always very useful to me as an RSC eLearning Advisor because they highlight good practice, innovation and lessons learnt from a number of projects across all the technology themes supported by Jisc. They also provide a good opportunity to network and meet others interested in using technology to innovate teaching and learning.

A Unique Approach To Pre And Post-Assessments

A Unique Approach To Pre And Post-Assessments

 

by Grant Wiggins, Ph.D, Authentic Education

One of my favorite stories concerns the legendary basketball coach John Wooden. He always gave himself a research project in the off season. As recounted in the insightful and practical book You Haven’t Taught If They Haven’t Learned, one year Wooden’s UCLA Bruins had done a poor job at shooting fouls. What did Wooden do? Call up the coaches of the best foul-shooting teams as well as the best-shooting players to find out what they did in practice. He learned a vital lesson: too often, foul-shooting was not done under game conditions in every day practice.

This great resource talked about the value of pre and post assessment. That is giving a form of assessment at the beginning of the teaching time period and then giving the same assessment at the end. This was something that I have thought about very little. I think it is a great tool that can be used to really check and see if your students have learned the key targets that you wanted them to learn. I think that it can be very insightful for the teacher because it will help to show just how much students have learned over the course of the year and things they maybe didn’t learn as well. It can also be helpful for the students to see what they have learned and realized that they have accomplished something. It just requires that teachers follow through with it.

Synchronous vs asynchronous assessment: how to become a trendsetter | EforEducate

... Clearly the idea is that pupils need regular feedback on their written work and this is often interpreted by 'time poor' teachers as quickly tick through notes and add depth to one 'substantial' piece of writing.  This is an example of an asynchronous process and, in my opinion, it is not particularly helpful for pupils or teachers!..

No. 8 aha moment: web 2.0 will change everything in online learning | Tony Bates - online learning and distance education resources

No. 8 aha moment: web 2.0 will change everything in online learning | Tony Bates - online learning and distance education resources | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

A broad range of tools with common characteristics that are conveniently lumped together as web 2.0 will fundamentally change the design of online learning and even more significantly, the relationship between post-secondary instructor and student. … The general characteristics of web 2.0 are as follows:

- End-user control/authoring

- Collaboration and sharing

- Collective intelligence

- Low-cost/free, adaptive software

- Rich media

- Portability/mobility

Peter B. Sloep's curator insight, March 25, 2013 12:33 PM

Tony Bates reports that he has "grown increasingly convinced that [web 2.0 tools] have the power to really revolutionize university teaching in particular". Unfortunately, he says, formal post-secondary education shows few signs of have understood this message. This is a pity, he continues, as web 2.0 tools i) can facilitate 21st century knowledge workers,  ii) lend themselves to constructivist approaches, iii) are familiar to students, iv) are more engaging for student.

 

These are the reasons most people will mention for why we should invoke web 2.0 tools. However, Tony's fifth reason is not so familiar and arguably the most powerful one. Eventually, he claims, web 2.0 tools will radically change student assessment. No more paper and pencil or computer marked assignments, but assignment via portfolios and the use of multimedia.  That of course requires us to rethink the idea of a course completely.

 

It also shows that MOOCs really are 'education as we know it' in an online mould. If Tony is right, then we may wonder if quality will prevail (that is redesign of education making full use of the affordances of web 2.0 tools) or if maximizing revenues will prevail (that is, sticking to existing models but broadcasting the content even more widely). Seen in this way, MOOCs really are web 1.0, the information web, rather than the social web that web 2.0 is. So, a step back rather than a step forward. (@pbsloep)

Yes, totally agree with the comments re MOOCS being web 1.0 but what if they are just another resources for a learner in a learner-centred environment?

Great to see interest coming back to the use of computer games again after our recent obsession with social networks.

Ryan McDonough's curator insight, July 7, 2014 6:57 AM

Games like SimCity immerse you in a world where 10 hours can feel like 20 minutes. If we could somehow make teaching that engaging, students would be thrilled to go to school everyday. How can we effectively use games in a manner where it has a purpose yet it also allows for learner creativity and individuality? How can we tied perfomance assessments into games? How can they fit within the busy school day? Many questions still need to be answered. This is a good start on how formative assessments can be used on gaming.
