  1. One Minute Papers and Blackboard:An Unbeatable Team for Formative Assessments Eli Collins-Brown, EdD 5th Annual SLATE Conference Chicago……October 2007

  2. What is a One Minute Paper (OMP)? • Classroom Assessment Technique • Formative Assessment Tool • Paper and Pen • Electronic • Survey • Discussion

  3. Purpose of OMP • Quick check on how students are doing • Allows for quick response to students • Inform mid-semester changes in instruction or course

  4. Benefits to Students • Self-assessment • Gives students a voice • Evaluate/analyze what they recall • Gives students a chance to think about their learning

  5. Benefits to Instructor • Students become more visible • Get an accurate reading on their progress • Can use to immediately alter course • Or provide immediate help/remediation • An opportunity to connect with students, to hear from them. • Student-centered active learning

  6. Paper and Pen • Ask two questions: • What is the most important thing you learned during this class? • What important question remains unanswered? • Distribute index cards or half sheets of paper • 5 minutes at end of class • No name (anonymous)

  7. Other Questions • What was the main point of today’s lecture? • What is the muddiest point?

  8. Electronic • Create a survey in Blackboard (anonymous) • Post in Discussion Forum (identified)

  9. Advantages to Survey • Truly Anonymous – no handwriting • Compiles responses – download into Excel • Track completion Used for a 5-day faculty development institute to decide what to do the next day.

  10. Advantages to Discussion Forum • Promotes thoughtful responses (others will read) • Prompts discussion • Prompts mutual support • A stage in creating learning community?

  11. OMP in Fully Online Courses • Weekly Check-ins (or by-weekly) • Identify students in trouble quickly • Makes students very visible • Provide opportunities to connect with each other and with instructor • Yields valuable information about the course

  12. OMP in Online Web Design Course • 6 weeks long • OMPs every two weeks as check-ins • Post in discussion forum • A bit of whining, venting, frustration around 2nd to 3rd week. • Allows me to ‘see’ where they are. • Can turn in back to them “You are exactly where you should be” • Can identify ‘slackers’

  13. OMP in Blended Courses • Same as online • Makes students’ thinking visible • Creates segue between online and classroom sessions
