We are just going down the route of encouraging all faculty to use Grademark in Turnitin to provide feedback and grades for assignments. We have suggested that, as well as the bubble comments, a Mark Form is used (part of the Rubric function) to fill in feedback associated with particular criteria. So far it has been used to mark students’…[Read more]
Louise wrote a new post, Week 3, on the site ocTEL 2014 9 years, 11 months ago

Made it so far! Last week was a struggle as I was quite busy at work but I was determined to participate more this week. I have already posted my ‘Learners Perspectives’ for the ‘Week 3 – if you only do one thing […]

Taking 3 types of content into account discuss the following:
What elements of these do you think are appealing to different learners?

What learners, if any, would they be inappropriate for and why?
How do each […]

There are some really useful thoughts here in a discussion forum on Deep Learning. It evolves into a discussion about assessment but all very relevant.

Would a social and autonomous approach work in a mainstream 11-17 school environment? How would that look?

It seems to me, also, that children are learning in order to be able to pass A-levels. I used to think that this was an awful approach but by watching my daughter who currently repeats exam papers over and over in prep for her A-level e…[Read more]

Agreed that the generic response from the survey provides on your blog is not helpful in identifying what you are measuring against nor what specfic areas it considers you deficient and therefore what you need to do to increase your level of ‘literacy’. It doesn’t address specific needs at all. Provided the questions are worded correctly it might…[Read more]
Louise started the topic in the forum 9 years, 11 months ago

Having a look at the 3 questionnaires ( the first one would not display in my browser) – the common themes are:
1. Need – what are you doing the course for?
2. Access to IT/internet etc…
3. Willingness to participate/submit on time etc …
4. Skill/understanding level and technical knowledge
5. Motivation
6. Ability to work away from others in…[Read more]

Technology should not be the primary driver of educational activity; it should support it.

… first the important stuff – more badges!
(working on the Explore one for Week 1!)
It’s been a busy week and I am still wading through posts to collect those gems of information and experiences.
New experiences – So far I have tried WordPress (obviously – duh), Scoop.it, Twitter (but my phone isn’t allowing me to log in only by PC – kind of defeats the object somehow!), Google + – again failed to find a forum here – is there one? I’ll pass on Minecraft in case I get as addicted as my 14 year old son and there’s no cure yet. There’s still time for experimentation.
Louise replied to the topic in the forum 9 years, 11 months ago

Brilliant- thanks Cinzia I’ll give it a go. I did ‘scoop’ the whole oCTEL site into my Scoop.it but it would be better to be able to focus on specific threads which I want to keep. One thing to consider if we are keeping these for reference later – what happens if the scooped site disappears? Presumably all is lost unless you have copied the text…[Read more]
Louise replied to the topic in the forum 9 years, 11 months ago

I think Scoop.it would be useful to collect various items. Not sure how you collect selected posts though as I have only used this to collect web pages so far. If you find out let me know!

In reply to: dowl4 created the group Thursday @dowl4 View

2.1 With regards to the range and preferences – yes the range of experience is almost polar from one extreme to the other, which I think is produces an incredibly valuable set of resources -for me anyway!

2.2 This polarity also brings its challenges where opinion can potentially be divided although I must admit I have not found that to be the…[Read more]

Like many of you I am most comfortable in the forums. I know where I am and how to do it reasonably well. I can also easily find what others have said and can mull it over. I am also experimenting with Wordpress as a blog tool which can then capture my experiences on various different courses. I am still not sure I am using it correctly – I seem…[Read more]
