Supporting Professional Development for Engagement: The CPD & Training Project

Notas del editor

  1. The most important stage in the development of online learning courses is the analysis of the existing course (or the needs of the course to be developed from scratch). Unfortunately recent research has shown that this stage is often over looked or ignored all together (Diana Oblinger, the renowned e-learning researcher from the USA, covered this in great details in her keynote speech at the 2002 ALT-Conference). There is a tendency to be seduced by the technology and the bells and whistles provided by the tools in VLEs. Online course development is as a result frequently driven by the technology and the tools rather than the learning needs of the learner. This frequently leads to the inappropriate use of VLEs. The first step in the development process should be a detailed examination of the current course with respect to learner autonomy and learning approach and the current approaches and delivery methods used for teaching. “ Greater emphasis on the analysis and design stages will reduce the wasted time and cost involved in producing projects which are never likely to realise the intention of improving learning .” Alexander (1999)
  2. Use this slide to outline the first hands-on activity for the module. Refer to the set-up document for this module for details of how to run the discussion groups and feedback sessions.
  3. This slide introduces the various forms of assessment can be carried out before, during and after a programme of study. The distinctions between them are in how assessment is implemented and how the results are used, rather than the type of questions used. Each type of assessment will be discussed in more detail on the following slides. Diagnostic assessment: Used to identify learners levels of learning and to place them into an appropriate programme of study. Formative assessment: A continuous form of assessment that takes place during the course allowing problems to be identified and addressed. Does not contribute to the overall grade received by a student. Ipsative assessment: The performance of the student is evaluated against their previous performance, rather than against that of their peers. This may be assessed by the tutor or by the learners themselves (i.e. self-assessment). Ipsative assessment is used in a formative way during the course and again does not contribute to the grade of a student. Summative assessment: Used to evaluate what the student has learnt and to formally certificate their achievements. Generally takes place once a course or module has been completed. These forms of assessment can be informal or formal. In a formal assessment the student is aware that they are being assessed, for example by examination or essay. In an informal assessment however, the assessment is integrated with other tasks, such as contribution to a discussion.
