Communication skills workshop 26 (CSW26) 14.09.2013 Helsinki University students in Finland attend language courses to gain professional and academic language proficiency. Currently, across all Aalto University disciplines, English is the most popular language chosen by students. This case study focuses mainly on the experiences in commenting and feedback given during writing courses offered by the Language Centre at Aalto University to participants from various fields of engineering, arts and economics. Feedback rich blended courses have been running since 2008. During these years valuable information has been collected on the benefits and drawbacks of the various commenting methods used for providing students with feedback on their writing. Students produce several reports, essays and other written documents, as a part of their studies. In language and communication courses, the students often engage in a process writing approach by creating reports or essays in smaller steps to better support the learning of writing. Currently, these documents are submitted into multiple electronic platforms and commented by the teacher either using contemporary tools (pen and paper), or electronically (word processor and/or commenting/annotation tool). Each of these systems has their strengths and weaknesses. Our assumption was that students benefit from personal, detailed and rich feedback and clear explanations for improvement. This has led to systematic use and development of a text commenting protocol. The writing teachers using these methods conducted a series of surveys 2010-2013 given to the students in the course using the commenting tools. The questionnaires were used to gather students’ perceptions of commenting software for providing feedback on writing and rich feedback in general. The surveys also indicated that students had not previously received extensive feedback in their other classes. To address this need, we participated in designing a new, more flexible and user-friendly tool, known as KungFu Writing (KFW), for giving feedback on student writing. Since the survey results also suggest students were overall pleased with the feedback they received and felt it helped them to improve their writing, feedback has been adopted as a method of teacher - student communication several other languages.

Drawing on current literature and a survey of online students and instructors from online institutions, the researchers explored the different types of assignments and assessments required for completion of online courses, the Learning Management Systems utilized, and differences between undergraduate and graduate tasks assigned, according to field of study. While there is a significant amount of available research on instructional efficacy in online classes, there are few studies that account for the types of course activities students must complete in distance learning courses. This study details the variety of online assessments and activities assigned to students attending institutions of higher education that are either fully online or utilizing a blended learning format. Recommendations are made for diverse instructional tasks, which can be assigned based on available technology and curricular flexibility. Key terms used in the study appear at the end of this chapter.

Blackboard Learn has many tools. How do you help academics to make the right choices? How do you validate that the choice you've made will be fit for purpose? In this session, we will be exploring a framework for tool choice for assessment across quizzes, assignments, journals, blogs and discussion boards in whole-class, group or individual contexts. We will also share best practices in the preparation and use of these tools.

Blackboard online tests are powerful, with multiple settings and multiple question types. So often test are created with only two question types - multiple choice and short answer - with the majority testing recall only. Academics are often confused or simply unaware of all the settings and steps in administering tests. We present a tool developed to: engage academics with the full range of automatically marking question types; explain how to create higher order thinking questions; and expose them to the full workflow of online test capabilities. This tool can be used in a class or as self-directed learning. Finally we share statistics and feedback on its success and a tricky method for enticing busy academics to fully engage in a class for two hours.

Are you spending lots of time conducting and marking formative assessments, tracking the learning progress of your students, and providing early intervention so as to help them learn and achieve better grades? If so, using a Learning Management System (LMS) together with a data analytics tool may help to increase your productivity. In this session, we will cover how Blackboard tools can help you conduct assessments in a paperless manner and automate the marking. You will also learn how data analytics can help you turn raw assessment data into meaningful information which will help you identify the 'at-risk' students that need your extra help, the better ones that need more challenging tasks, and the chapters that may need to be delivered with a different pedagogical approach. Hence, with a robust LMS and a data analytics tool, your quality of teaching and students' learning will help to bring about a higher student success rate.
