JISC formative e-assessment 3nd practical Enquiry Day, November 3rd
JISC formative e-assessment 3nd practical Enquiry Day, November 3rd
This is the second Practical Enquiry Day (PED) which is being organized as part of the project Scoping a vision for formative e-assessment which is funded as part of the JISC e-Learning Programme. The project was launched at the first PED on 3 July 2008, and involves scoping current practices involving formative e-assessment, and building ‘cases’ where formative assessment is being supported by the use of a variety of electronic tools. Most of the day will be spent building cases of e-assessment in practice and considering the key patterns which emerge. Most of the day will be spent working with core cases of e-assessment and identifying the patterns of formative practice which they contain. We will be identifying how these patterns map onto a wider framework for learning and teaching, based on Laurillard’s Conversational Framework (CF).To register for this event, or for any inquiries, please contact Sarah Gelcich s.gelcich@ioe.ac.uk project administrator.

Case stories we will focus on this time
- academic writing
- activote
- audio files
- medical students
- medicines management
- OpenMentor
- shadows
- string comparison
- visual trajectories
Some questions to ask a case story
- What are you about? What are you an example of?
- What was successful?
- What made it successful?
- What in the context was necessary for it to be successful?
- When might it not work?
- Do we have any other examples of this?
From Cases Stories to Design Patterns
Example
From APLWorkshopSingapore and PED 2 we derived Paper2.0 and Three Hats.Design Patterns from our Practical Enquiry Day 2
These are the patterns that emerged from discussing the cases presented at the previous practical enquiry day.- Setting The Agenda (Terry, Andrew and Judy)
- an Eye On Student Cosmology (Jim, Mary, Bobby)
- Frequent Logged Interactions (John)
Some other Design Patterns to look at
These patterns should give you some idea of what we're looking for.- Three Hats A design pattern based on the format of discussion we used at the workshop.
- Narrative spaces A general guideline for designing collaborative learning environments.
- Round And Deep classical pattern from the http://pedagogicalpatterns.org/ project.
- Wear Your Skills
- Use my stuff
