Study Notes

Assessment Practices

Assessment is the process of identifying, gathering, and interpreting information about students' learning.
Assessment involves using various methods and tools to evaluate, measure, and document student learning.
Assessment helps improve learning and set direction for ongoing teaching and learning processes.

Types of Assessment

Formative assessment provides feedback and information during the instructional process, while learning is taking place.
Summative assessment takes place after learning has been completed and provides information and feedback that sums up the teaching and learning process.

Online Interviews

Online interviews can be incorporated into online teaching to give learning a more personal touch.
Brief online interviews can be used to demonstrate proficiency in language, music, nursing, and other courses.
Group interviews can be beneficial for team project reports.
Interviews can include a mentoring component, enabling students to receive immediate feedback from instructors.

Dialogue Simulations

Dialogue simulations are a way to train learners for real-life conversations with customers, colleagues, and others.
Dialogue simulations can help students master sales and customer service skills or test how well they are prepared for a job interview.
These activities can be a good learning support tool for experienced workers who want to refresh skills they haven’t used in a while.

Online Assessment Tools

Blogs can be used to monitor students’ understanding and progression over time.
ICT capabilities, such as integration and embedding of relevant images, videos, and games, can be easily assessed.
Wikis can be used to effectively assess students’ abilities to work collaboratively and share ideas with one another.
Twitter can be used to provide feedback on assessments or to provide short and concise responses to questions posed.

Netiquette for Online Communities

Netiquette is a set of guidelines for courteous communication in the online environment.
Netiquette guidelines include rules for social interaction and technical activities on the internet.
The core netiquette rules include:
- Remembering that there is a human on the other side of digital interactions.
- Applying normal standards of behavior to online behavior.
- Being aware of context and tailoring communications accordingly.
- Respecting other people's time and bandwidth.

- Prioritizing and sharing content from verifiable, expert sources.
- Avoiding excessive trolling and flaming.
- Respecting human privacy and not using digital technology to spy on others.
- Being graceful and forgiving people their mistakes.

Digital Footprints

A digital footprint is the unseen record of a user's activities online, including the websites they visit and the files and apps they download.
Digital footprints can exist in passive or active forms.
Implications of a student's digital footprint include:
- Inappropriate content remaining online indefinitely unless removed.
- Predators and hackers accessing location data through social media pictures.
- Colleges and potential employers examining a student's digital footprint to determine whether they want to admit or hire the student.
