Hoping to do more than one thing on #ocTEL this week, but here’s my starter for ten. This blog post will be discussing and critiquing assessment methods available on technology-enhanced learning courses. Method 1: Online test How does the assessment align with the course learning outcomes? Tends to be more appropriate for lower level learning […]

This activity was based on a JISC (2010) publication.  I’m basing my reflection on a new undergraduate level 2 module which myself and a colleague are planning at the moment. It is based on an online business game simulation played in groups.  It will have two group assessments, a business plan and a performance presentation, […]

I have used both these tools for delivering and attending webinars, but I am always looking to improve my skills in this area. I attended a free webinar run by Citrix in March this year […]

I have always found Kolb’s learning cycle a helpful concept but have been a little more uncertain about his learning styles.  I suppose I don’t like the idea of “putting people in boxes”.  (Kolb’s four-stage cycle of learning is: ‘immediate or concrete experiences’ provide a basis for ‘observations and reflections’. These ‘observations and reflections’ are […]
