SUMMARY:TA-SIG - Object-Based Learning for Digital Assessment
DESCRIPTION:Object-Based Learning (OBL) provides a unique opportunity for an integrated student-centred approach to digital assessment that exploits the capacity for polyvalent interaction. Recent developments in both digital imaging and visualisation systems\, accessible through tablets and mobile devices\, have opened up new opportunities for assessment through student interaction with compelling virtual worlds and objects. This presentation will share the practical results and applied examples of this approach for assessment\, primarily in ancient historical studies\, but will also provide ample application to the transferability of this assessment approach to other academic disciplines. \nFor further information and registration: http://taw.fi/4aug2021

SUMMARY:ASCILITE Live! webinar: Virtual learning experiences utilizing digital technologies
DESCRIPTION:9am Singapore/Hong Kong | 1pm Auckland | Other time zones \nThis Massey University team received an ASCILITE Innovation Award in 2020 and their presentation will highlight the team’s innovation which resulted in the development of  three applications that enabled virtual experiences: \n\nVirtual microscopy that delivers an interactive microscope experience\, enabling full slide viewing and zooming of interactive magnification views of stained glass slides on any device.\nIntegrated virtual microscope slide images linked to E-publication of the research project\, enabling readers of the publication to view and interact with an on-line microscope image referenced in the paper discussion.\nVirtual experiments for student physiology labs performed on living tissues\, delivering interactive data recordings of physiological parameters integrated into on-line lessons examining isolated smooth muscle tissue\, cardiac function\, and uterine function.\n\nFollowing implementation\, survey results revealed that the majority of students found the virtual lessons favourable and beneficial to their learning. \nPresenters\nPreet Singh\nPreet is a senior lecturer in the Animal Welfare Science & Bioethics Centre\, Massey University and teaches Anatomy and Physiology in Veterinary course at Massey. He along with Neil and Antony are leaders in adopting innovative technologies with an aim to increase student engagement and provide positive learning experiences in veterinary anatomy and physiology courses \nNeil Ward\nNeil is the technical director and senior technician in the Animal Welfare Science & Bioethics Centre\, Massey University. He teaches into Veterinary\, Agriculture and Science courses and contributes to many post-graduate and staff projects in physiology\, animal welfare and pain studies. He has been a leader in the evolution of computer technologies for both teaching & research. A particular interest has been application of the 3 Rs and welfare of staff working with animals. \nAntony Jacob\nAntony is a research technician in the Animal Welfare science & Bioethics Centre\, Massey University. He is actively involved in creating content for student practical teaching using the Kura cloud platform. His research interests include developing new methods to analyze the pharmacodynamic effect of various drugs used in different animal species.

SUMMARY:TELedvisors webinar - August 2021
DESCRIPTION:Rescued from HERDSA21 –  current projects on technology’s role in enabling feedback and assessment at different universities  \n This Thursday’s webinar allows us to hear about two of the research projects that should have been presented at this year’s HERDSA conference. The presenters are educators in very different roles who have instituted and examined changes in technology-enabled assessment and feedback.  \nHumanising online learning: screen-casted audiovisual feedback in higher education  \nAmeena Payne  Swinburne University of Technology Online\, Melbourne. \nIn short: What are the benefits and challenges of audio/video feedback? How can you measure the impact of audio/video feedback for assessments on the learners\, and what they do next?  \nResearch has demonstrated that students benefit from feedback that is consistent\, tailored\, and explains not only learners’ areas for development\, but what they have done well – and why\, and how to ‘feed forward’ for their future learnings. Each individual learner presents unique academic challenges\, and feedback dialogue needs to be personalised to each learner’s needs.   \nWritten feedback to students has been one of the most widely used feedback methods but has been criticised by students for its sub-par quality. Such criticisms include the vague nature of comments and a lack of clear examples of constructive feed-forward\, leaving learners unclear on how to improve their work. Following these criticisms\, alternative feedback modes such as audio/video feedback have been explored which may offer richer feedback and have the benefit of being more personalised.  \nThis presentation explores whether this change\, from traditional written comments to screen-casted comments + annotated text feedback comments\, is effective. Do students see this feedback as clear\, relevant and valuable? Does audio/video feedback improve learning?  \n  \nTechnology is the key: Student musicians’ engagement with PebblePad for authentic professional learning   \nDr Diana Tolmie  \nGriffith University\, South Brisbane  \nIn short: Instead of preparing a wholly written assessment\, students were asked to use PebblePad to prepare their practice application to a cultural trust. While content and teaching style remained unchanged\, this authentic approach to the assessment transformed the student experience and learning outcomes.   \nConservatoriums and tertiary music schools have not been immune to the higher education demand to create industry-ready graduates. While many institutions have introduced career development initiatives\, it is widely acknowledged that professional skill acquisition is more successful when experientially rather than theoretically learned. For the past seven years\, students in the third-year course have been required to submit an assessment based on the Ian Potter Cultural Trust grant application to develop fundraising and career planning capabilities.  \nIn 2019\, 94 students completed an online simulation of the Ian Potter Cultural Trust grant application via PebblePad (an online learning tool engaging in multimedia)\, as opposed to the past student practice of submitting a Word document. The quality of assessments was analysed according to the related criteria\, which mimicked standard grant requirements\, and compared with previous course submissions. A one-question survey\, also present in arts grant applications\, was introduced to determine how students experienced the technological process. The whole project aimed to discover how authentically experienced assessment would impact student engagement and professional skill learning.
