  1. Emma Hughes Digital Learning and Online Assessment

  2. Main areas of focus: • Creation of new digital and interactive resources (often from existing/outdated hard copies) • Online tutorials/videos • Methods of online assessment • Organisation of resources

  3. Digital Tools • Flash animations • Interactive PDFs and portfolios • Hyperlinked PowerPoints • SmartBoard sequences • Vimeo • LAMs • Quia

  4. Storage of Notes • Microsoft OneNote • Logical storage • Can be added to later • Can be saved as PDF and emailed to teacher for checking • Can easily clip and add files/you tube videos/ extra questions/thoughts • Intuitive to use

  5. Easy to share, organise and email to students Ensures syllabus/ topic is completely covered

  6. These students had all had dot point named notes and resources

  7. Tutorials • Short video tutorials online • Used for foundation skills eg molar calculations, balancing equations or unfamiliar practicalseg ticker timers • Ability to allocate a password so only certain groups of students can access

  8. Interactive PDFs PROS Easy to convert existing resources Can automatically generate fields to enter responses Can add extra text boxes/edit content Good for: Keywords Cloze passages Simple question answer Longer response Completing tables of results CONS Issues with saving/crashing Font sizes and scrolling from automatic form fields Not always good for scientific drawings

  9. Interactive fields to fill – allows for mistakes and retrial

  10. Simple labeling of diagrams

  11. Quia PROS Saves on marking Quizzes can be edited/reused Classes can be graded and data analysed to inform teaching Option to teacher mark sections and give feedback Good for: Keywords/short answer Cloze passages Multiple choice DIFFERENTIATION CONS Can be time consuming to create Uploading images clunky Pure text, no symbols Immediate feedback not always useful Not great for longer response

  12. Class lists: • Upload from excel • Email • Grade • Usernames and passwords

  13. Simple question creation – multiple choice

  14. Simple interface for students With/without immediate feedback

  15. Grading function allows weaknesses in teaching to be identified

  16. LAMS PROS Students can take many pathways Frees up teacher to be facilitator Students enjoy discussion forum and variety of activities Flexibility Student-centred at own pace Teacher monitoring and feedback Portfolio downloadable CONS Clunky interface Limited activities Time consuming for one lesson sequences

  17. Author workspace helps you design sequences

  18. Range of activities to allow interactive student-centred learning

  19. Student view allows step by step progress through activities

  20. Monitor view allows teacher to follow students progress

  21. Differentiation and Assessment Branched activities to allow students to move on to tasks which better match ability based on eg multiple choice quiz at previous stage All responses from eg forums/quizzes can be fed back to teacher via monitor page or email Students can upload documents for checking and assessment

  22. Digital learningMajor advantages • Promotes independent learning • Learning is fluid • Differentiated pathways • Quick data analysis • Digital notes can be added to, consolidated and amended • Sustainable (huge photocopying reduction)

  23. Digital learningThings to consider • Encourage HAND WRITTEN study notes • HSC style/examination questions handwritten and practised regularly • Certain areas eg chemical structures/scientific drawings still need to be paper based • Balance between digital and written
