Assessment is the cash nexus of learning – it is where the payoff is for our students, where all their effort is rewarded with marks or grades. When we design our assessment, we indicate to our students what is important and what they should focus on. In this presentation, Ann will explore a number of theories that focus on assessment design such as: Constructive alignment – why aligning what we teach, with the way we teach it, with the way we assess it is important Supporting learning – how assessment supports learning and how it is central to student learning Authentic assessment – including the issues of assessment design and workload from the perspective of both students and markers

Pecha Kucha presentations burst onto the scene in 2003 and have since been adopted and adapted by a wide audience, from the creative industries to the business world and of course, education. Having observed the use of Pecha Kucha in a number of different educational contexts, this practical session examines why the format continues to have relevance for us, and what role it can play in different learning and teaching environments. This presentation shares a basic Pecha Kucha 'toolkit', structures to explore with your students and teachers, and some ideas you can try tomorrow in your class spaces and staff development.

Most postgraduate students will have developed research and writing skills while undertaking their undergraduate degree, yet many still find it challenging to meet the expected high standards of independent research and thesis writing. In this video, Michelle describes a project undertaken by Student Learning Support and the School of Psychological Sciences to support students in the Master of Psychology (Clinical) at ACAP, and supported by a Learning and Teaching Grant. The project involved creating a research and writing support site covering topics such as Developing Your Research Proposal, Writing Your Literature Review, and Publishing and Presenting Your Research. Michelle discusses how the team developed the site to complement existing support, showcase some of the resources, and explain how the effectiveness of the project will be measured.

Tales of plagiarism, ghost-writing and contract cheating make great news headlines, but can also be a serious issue where students are under pressure, over-stretched and can’t get the support they need to progress in their course. In these slides, Niva goes back to basics with some principles and approaches to academic integrity, including some common challenges around plagiarism, particularly with international students. Niva will also share some strategies for preventing plagiarism, including changes to assessment design and some practical activities you can try with your own students.

Think of it like a portfolio, for starters. With SeeSaw, students capture what they are working on with videos, photos, audio recording, drawing, captions, text, PDFs, and links to other apps. Thus they can document their learning as it occurs, reflect on the learning process and evaluate progress. You can control what is shared with others and what comments are possible. It’s widely accessible, easy to use with email or Google accounts, and combines so many useful functions in one tool. In these slides, Clare McGrath introduces its main features, and explores with you possibilities for exploiting it in different contexts for a range of purposes, particularly the journal and class blog features.

As more teaching moves into the online space, students will need to not only communicate with each other but learn collaboratively. Discussion forums are the most widely used tool for building a conversation around curriculum topics. In order to develop an ability to analyse and reflect, students need practice. This workshop is designed to help you structure and facilitate online discussions which promote critical thinking, and understand the students’ experience of learning in this context.

Multidisciplinary teaching is a contemporary education strategy implemented by various tertiary institutions to stimulate students’ critical thinking, develop inter-disciplinary understanding, and enhance students’ problem solving skills. In this presentation, Dr Saad Odeh and Dr Muhammad Qureshi summarise the steps taken, as well as findings from a pilot study that investigated the development and implementation of a combined assignment from two first year units in the Engineering curriculum: “Foundation Mathematics” and “Introduction to Programming”. The suggested assignment aimed to help students understand the link between these two disciplines. Case studies from the mechanical and civil engineering industry were selected to develop the pilot assignments. The mathematical rules applied in this assignment were introduced in brief in the assignment information sheet to give students guidelines to carry out further online research. The preliminary statistical results show improvement in students’ multi-disciplinary knowledge in the different units and enhancement in their industrial experience.

Wondering where you belong on the spectrum between a technophobe and technophile? Curious as to how this affects your teaching? More tech-savvy generations of learners are entering our classrooms bringing not only their rich cultural contexts, but also new preferences of learning and engaging both with each other, and their educators. However, incorporating ed-tech strategies effectively into teaching can seem daunting to many educators. Our experience shows that the development of digital capabilities in educators is highly dependent upon empowering, developing and enhancing the educators’ mindset. This presentation presents theoretical considerations for developing an educator’s digital capabilities and reviews examples of ed-tech professional development models to support and empower educators to successfully implement technology-enhanced teaching practices.

Singing together is powerful. It helps us express our emotions, teaches us to harmonise our differences, and makes us feel part of a community. It also provides an opportunity for language learners to improve pronunciation, fluency, vocabulary and confidence in speaking. For international students living in Australia, a choir can become a family, and a home away from home. It’s a safe place to make friends, improve English, and explore a range of feelings. In 2018, the first annual Raise Your Voice choir festival for international students was held in Brisbane. In these slides, Vicki Bos and Donna Cook share some of the goals, benefits and outcomes of the 2018 festival, and let you know all about the upcoming 2019 festival. Tune in to the recording if you’re interested in singing with your students, setting up a choir at your language school, or getting involved in the 2019 festival (and beyond).

Providing effective feedback for students can be a time-consuming and often frustrating experience for both student and teacher. In an attempt to identify a method for providing feedback that is both engaging for students and time-efficient for staff, a study comparing audio with written feedback was carried out at Curtin College. Analysis of students' results indicates that while different types of feedback did not result in any significant difference in grades, the evidence from the study's survey indicates an overwhelmingly positive response by most staff and students to audio feedback. In these slides, Gemma Clarke shares the results of her study and highlights some of the advantages and disadvantages of using audio feedback with a particular focus on Audacity.

Teaching statistics has increasingly been regarded as a complex mission to accomplish as it consists of many different mathematical components with many variables. Despite extensive research work in developing education in statistics, this discipline still requires significant improvement in how it is taught. Most students at university have a lack of interest in undertaking statistics courses due different factors - some of them are related to teaching techniques and others are related to method of assessment. In these slides, Saad Odeh presents an effective teaching technique in statistics developed by SIBT teachers. Rather than enabling the cohort by providing them with extra help to progress in statistics, the idea was to improve their confidence when they do the major assessment, 'the final exam'.

Assessment can have a profound influence on student learning. Some students only seek to engage with that which is to be assessed. In other cases, assessment approaches can inhibit learning by assessing inappropriate things. Authentic assessments provide the means for teachers to influence learning in all the right ways and provide learning experiences that connect students with practical applications of the course materials. These type of assessments also involve active learning where students are motivated to make decisions and judgments and to learn by doing. In these slides, Ron Oliver discusses how teachers can design and use authentic assessments in their classroom settings. He demonstrates various forms of authentic assessment that can be applied to develop and assess differing levels of learning outcomes.

In these slides, Anselm will unravel the mysteries of active learning. Bloom’s Taxonomy and ‘flipped learning’ are presented as theoretical lenses through which active learning may be better understood. Specifically, he argues that active learning consists of two components: ‘active’ and ‘learning’. In designing for engaging and meaningful student learning experiences, there should be an equal emphasis placed on both elements.

Students’ mobile devices have become a prevalent sight in the classroom which will not soon abate. The presence of mobile devices has long been the cause of much frustration for teachers due to the necessity of repeating instructions and an overall drop in classroom participation. In these slides, Paul Gregory shares his reflections on how a shift in mindset helped improve his attitude towards students and their non-academic use of mobile devices in the classroom. By putting his theory to the test over an entire semester, Paul found that shifting the blame from the students empowered the instructor to incorporate change and made for a more productive and cohesive classroom experience.

As educators, we often forget what it is like to be a student. In particular, an international student. In addition to this, it is challenging to empathise with international students unless we ourselves have studied in a second language. We do our best as educators to ensure teaching is inclusive of international students, but often forget to do this due to constraints such as prioritising with delivering content. In these slides, Jason Cormick-Dockery and Abraham Punnen discuss barriers to learning faced by international students and make recommendations for institutions and educators, including having subjects that promote intercultural differences.

Wizards are very useful for creating a good user experience. In all businesses, interactive sessions are most beneficial. To improve the user experience, wizards in Odoo provide an interactive session. For creating wizards, we can use transient models or abstract models. This gives features of a model class except the data storing. Transient and abstract models have permanent database persistence. For them, database tables are made, and the records in such tables are kept until they are specifically erased.
