Conferences
17. An Elearning Helpdesk Week…
We get to hear what academics want and need through many contacts
every day.
18. UQ Student Survey - Mid 2012…
UQ students use our LMS more often than they do Facebook or
our Library databases
based on 5000+ responses
21. Asking faculties for 2014 priorities now…
•
General change management support (local training, demonstrations etc.)
•
Large Classes: Peer Assessment – Contribution to group work.
•
Large Classes: Peer Assessment – Student assessment of each other’s work.
•
Large Classes: Team/group focused collaborative solutions that support
•
Large Classes: Peer review and collaborative writing in large cohorts
•
Course communication and Q&A for effective support and peer assistance
•
Creating and sharing sketches, diagrams, maths and symbols online
•
ePortfolios (eg evidence repository, Student showcase, reflection tool, assessment
tracking)
•
E-exam software
•
Rubric examples: create a shared repository (resource) , which contains Rubrics
used within the university.
•
Advice on how to devise a Rubric..Online invigilation service
•
BYOD policy and equity program
•
In-classroom tools for teaching and collaboration (e.g. screen sharing software,
free text response etc.)
•
Content management system
Many more…
22. E-exams – Issues and Discussion
Impetus
•
•
•
UQ is low on exam space
Instructors are experimenting with e-exams – e.g. UQBS;
Pharmacy
Some universities are adopting online proctoring: Penn
State, Harvard Distance Ed, Edx is using Pearson
Should UQ go down this track?
Advantages: Less printing or space; richer test experience (e.g.
randomised question pools, heat-map questions etc.)
Challenges: Which computer (Lab/Test Centre/BYOD); Which
proctor (UQ/collaborative/external); Identification of students online;
Cost (Now $10+bld, Online Proctor:$60/student, Test Centre:
$400/exam)
Thoughts?
