Thank-you, Moira, for your reply directing me to the GRE subject tests (<span style=”color: #079948;”>http://www.ets.org/gre/subject/about</span>😉 for examples of MCQs at higher levels in Bloom’s taxonomy – it was kind of you to go to the trouble.
Clearly the GRE tests have wide acceptance (in the US and beyond). I found the range of subje…[Read more]

Thank you, Tom, for your reply.
I found your point about MCQs in numerate disciplines interesting. I entered HE (as an SL in Corp Strat) transitioning via a secondary PGCE (Bus Ed) for which I received APEL credits in part on the basis of some p/t FE lecturing I’d done for a couple of years preparing students for the exams of a finance p…[Read more]

I often choose automated self-marking Multiple Choice Question test batteries (e-MCQs), commonly provided by authors/publishers on text companion websites, as an e-assessment resource. I do this largely because they are convenient (for students and for me as teacher) in that they are ‘plug and play’ and can be taken/marked when it suits. With…[Read more]

Stumbling around the site – one minute find something that illuminates blizzard of posts (by giving some structure), the next wondering how I upload a .pdf (slides giving abstracts of research exploring linkage between attendance and achievement) – thought it may be of interest with respect to ‘debate’, discussion re badges. I’m thinking of how…[Read more]

I am enjoying our conversation as well. I do want to stress that I do not see TEL or Technology Enhanced Learning and MOOCs – Massive Open Online Courses as one and the same thing. For me, MOOCs are a type of […]

Hello again. Smile. I don’t get to actively continue (email) correspondence – so your two replies are something of a novelty, which, although surprising, I’m enjoying. However, I appreciate you’ll be very busy […]

From anyone. I’m somewhat taken-a-back to have received one actually. Especially if you really meant it about mine being a very interesting post. [It wasn’t particularly thought out – simply typed away ‘off the cuff’. Perhaps in this context that’s the best t…[Read more]

During Wednesday’s webinar, someone asked asked about a recommended technique for identifying and […] ViewHello James. First, thanks for the reply. I hadn’t expected one. From anyone. Your response prompts several thoughts. I wasn’t aware I have ‘strong feelings about TEL’. (Which?) I get the impression you may have got the impression (R D Laing lives on!) that you may think I’m anti-TEL (?). If so I note this isn’t the case. Indeed, I’d say…[Read more]

[First time was as part of my rummaging around site ‘catching-up’ in Week 2 (or 1 as you’ve labelled it) having got off to ‘bad start’ – with confusion about enrolment, course start time, etc. – in Week 1 (or O as you’ve numbered it). Second time was after Allison (with two ‘ls)…[Read more]

There is debate about awarding credit for attendance but given the style of this course we feel it’s important to find mechanisms for you to see who also is active within each week. Click on this badge link to ‘check-in’ and see who else is also active in this topic. -
