Benefits • Flexible / location independent / No need to travel • Flexible / time independent / off-line • From teachers’ perspective • Told it once, no need to repeat, told to all • No need to store, sort, process e-mails and submissions • Unmanned administration of submissions and grades • Automated feedback • Self enforced deadlines (and extensions) • Usable outcomes (knowledge generation) • Learning material maintenance • No need for police work at examiations
Flash back • I had problems, I looked for solutions • I had e-materials (ppt), activities • Too many Z students, no real contact • Create problems and offer solutions • New materials on outdated samples
Setting • I’m on the screen in front of a student • Midninght, dormitory, tired,
Why is so difficult? • To do it good first is always difficult • The tool itself must be learnt • Learning by doing • Our objective should have priority over the softver features • Lots of work
My (best / working) practice • Clear requirement definition • Clear topic structure (flexible and / or preconditions), alternative tracks • To understand knowledge assessment • Knowledge transfer, practice, self assessment • Evaluation and grading. • Submisson of works (text or pdf) and feedback
Offering selfassessment • Good examples (former submissions) • Potential errors (scoring objectives) • New / alternate activities • Points, grades, scale • Text feedback • Information access, mining
Videos • Cutting marks (flaps) • 5-10 minutes • Alternate teachers • Written version • Defined activity – listen, mark, identify etc. • On the screen: blackboard, teacher, presentation
Course evolution • Never is done • Permanent improvement – no campaigning • Semester settings (deadlines, course management), checks (external links, local settings) • Evalutaion questions > exercise quiz • Submissions > examples • Messages > requirements, FAQ • Based on activity logs removal of elements, refrasing • New questions to question bank
Question bank • Categories, sub-categories • One out of 4 • Pairing • Values (24 oC, 85 dBA)
Handling swindles • Swindles at self-assessment - self-deception • Final assessment – devalue, destruction of degree • Safety features: • Time contrains, sequence • Time frame set (2-4 hours) • Screen protection features • Logs, passwords • Examination room • Real closing examination • e-learning: standardised, questions and points ranges are subject specific) • Face-to-face exmination: subjectivity
Materials used • ppt • Classroom video • Textbook • tankönyvtár exracts • Legislation / standards exracts • Videos – own recordings or youtube • According to BLOOM taxatonomy • Paste and upload (text, video, pictre, object)
Content requirements - OE • First part „overview” should contain a brief descriptionof the course in 10-15 line. • Closing requirements (quiz, submissions, deadlines) • Calculation of the grade (e.g. practice exercises, submissions, assessments, etc.). • Weight of the elements above. • Submission criteria (limited / unlimited trials) • Time contrains, deadlines • Evaluation methods and scale
Topic requirements - OE • Topic name and desription • Objectives of the topic • Time requirements • Page • 1-2 page • Exercises • Submission constrains • Self asessment possibility
