Digital Learning and Online Assessment
Main areas of focus:1. Creation of new digital and interactive
resources (often from existing/outdated hard copies)
2. Online tutorials/videos3. Methods of online assessment4. Organisation of resources
Digital Tools• Flash animations• Interactive PDFs and portfolios• Hyperlinked PowerPoints• SmartBoard sequences• Vimeo• LAMs• Quia
Storage of Notes• Microsoft OneNote• Logical storage• Can be added to later• Can be saved as PDF and emailed to teacher
for checking• Can easily clip and add files/you tube videos/
extra questions/thoughts • Intuitive to use
Easy to share, organise and email to students
Ensures syllabus/ topic is completely covered
These students had all had dot point named notes and resources
Tutorials
• Short video tutorials online• Used for foundation skills eg molar
calculations, balancing equations or unfamiliar practicals eg ticker timers
• Ability to allocate a password so only certain groups of students can access
Interactive PDFsPROS
Easy to convert existing resources
Can automatically generate fields to enter responses
Can add extra text boxes/edit content
Good for:Keywords
Cloze passagesSimple question answer
Longer responseCompleting tables of results
CONSIssues with saving/crashing
Font sizes and scrolling from automatic form fieldsNot always good for
scientific drawings
Interactive fields to fill – allows for mistakes and retrial
Simple labeling of diagrams
QuiaPROS
Saves on markingQuizzes can be edited/reused
Classes can be graded and data analysed to inform teaching
Option to teacher mark sections and give feedback
Good for:Keywords/short answer
Cloze passagesMultiple choice
DIFFERENTIATION
CONSCan be time consuming to create
Uploading images clunkyPure text, no symbols
Immediate feedback not always useful
Not great for longer response
Class lists:• Upload from excel• Email• Grade• Usernames and passwords
Simple question creation – multiple choice
Simple interface for students
With/without immediate feedback
Grading function allows weaknesses in teaching to be identified
LAMSPROS
Students can take many pathways
Frees up teacher to be facilitator
Students enjoy discussion forum and variety of activities
FlexibilityStudent-centred at own pace
Teacher monitoring and feedback
Portfolio downloadable
CONSClunky interfaceLimited activities
Time consuming for one lesson sequences
Author workspace helps you design sequences
Range of activities to allow
interactive student-centred
learning
Student view allows step by step progress through activities
Monitor view allows teacher to follow students progress
Differentiation and Assessment• Branched activities to allow students to
move on to tasks which better match ability based on eg multiple choice quiz at previous stage
• All responses from eg forums/quizzes can be fed back to teacher via monitor page or email
• Students can upload documents for checking and assessment
Digital learningMajor advantages• Promotes independent learning• Learning is fluid• Differentiated pathways• Quick data analysis • Digital notes can be added to, consolidated
and amended• Sustainable (huge photocopying reduction)
Digital learningThings to consider• Encourage HAND WRITTEN study notes• HSC style/examination questions handwritten
and practised regularly• Certain areas eg chemical structures/scientific
drawings still need to be paper based• Balance between digital and written
