SUMMARY:Collaboration and Innovation: Enhancing inclusive formative and summative assessment in large and small class settings
DESCRIPTION:[dt_quote type="blockquote" font_size="big" animation="none" background="plain"]Click here to view the Seminar Report[/dt_quote]\n\nRecording:\n\n[ultimate_spacer height="20"][ultimate_carousel title_text_typography="" slides_on_desk="3" slides_on_tabs="2" slides_on_mob="1"][vc_video link="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wexKHqXw8qQ"][vc_video link="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ot2V3N3Vsis"][vc_video link="https://www.youtube.com/embed/LL7xJx9Gb0I"][/ultimate_carousel][ultimate_spacer height="20"][vc_column_text]\n\nPresenters:\n\nAnn Marie Farrell\, Dr Anna Logan\, Dr Fiona King\nSpecial Education Department\, St Patrick’s College\, DCU\n\nRationale/Focus\n\nTo examine the findings from (a) formal evaluations of assessment practice and (b) reflections on experience to extrapolate implications that can be generalised for assessment to inform teaching and learning.\n\nContext\n\nFollowing significant changes to the BEd programme in primary teaching\, the nature and amount of input on special and inclusive education has increased.  All students engage with inclusion in core modules and in a permeated fashion throughout the programme; some students participate in a specialism consisting of six modules over three years.  These changes also had implications in terms of planning\, teaching and assessment.  A collaborative approach was adopted by staff teaching on the programme\, with a view to ensuring that a variety of assessment approaches were used for both formative and summative assessment (for and of learning).  Additionally\, consideration was given to the use of assessment techniques in enhancing the learning of students themselves (as learning).\n\nPrinciples underpinning this work\n\n1.    Teaching comprises primarily of development of threshold concepts and ideas\, planning\, assessment and collaboration.\n\n2.    Assessment should be clearly linked to learning outcomes.\n\n3.    Assessment should provide opportunities for learners to demonstrate their understanding.\n\n4.    Students should be equipped to self-assess their own understanding in order to be lifelong learners and leaders in their chosen profession.\n\n5.    As teacher educators\, staff should model good assessment practice.\n\nThis seminar comprises of three elements/presentations:\n\n●    The use of co-teaching as a platform for workshop-based learning  leading to formative assessment of threshold concepts in the large class setting (400 students)\n\nAnn Marie Farrell and Anna Logan\n\nCo-teaching was used within a workshop-based approach aimed at teasing out threshold concepts and assessing students’ understanding of those concepts.  Formative assessment tasks used were replicated in the summative assessment at the end of the module.  The workshops themselves were based on diagnostic assessment and planning for children with special needs.  Findings from formal evaluations of this assessment approach will be presented.\n\n●    Kahoot! Using educational technology to formatively assess learning and understanding in the large class context (400)\n\nAnn Marie Farrell\n\nKahoot! is an educational technology tool being used this year for the first time to facilitate formative assessment of students’ understanding while simultaneously allowing students to map their own knowledge and understanding onto that of the whole class group.  The presentation will outline the opportunities and challenges of using this assessment approach in the context of the large class.  Those present will engage in a Kahoot! session.\n\n●    Upward Spiralling of self and peer assessment within and across modules to deepen and extend learning\n\nAnna Logan and Fiona King\n\nThis presentation examines innovative assessment practices with small groups of students (25) specialising in a particular field of study.  Students were involved in designing their own assessments (within agreed parameters) and in self- and peer-assessing their work.  The outcome of this assessment was used in an extended manner the following year in order to (a) differentiate for this group on a core module and (b) extend and deepen their learning in terms of teaching and leadership.\n\n \n\nLearning Outcomes:\n\nFollowing completion of the seminar\, it is intended that participants will know/understand how to …\n\n●    … use formative assessment techniques  in a large class setting (400 students)\n\n●    … collaboratively plan for formative and summative assessment\n\n●    … build on and deepen students’ learning through an upward spiralling/evolving method of assessment\n\n●    … identify opportunities for linking assessments across modules\n\n●    … align assessment with learning outcomes\n\n

SUMMARY:TEL Week / Take One Step - Second TEL Roadshow
DESCRIPTION:\n\nAs part of the t1step initiative\, a National Forum for the enhancement of Teaching and Learning funded project\, the Technology Enhanced Learning Unit are running a webinar entitled How to Create and Write a Blog at 12pm on Thursday 18th February 2016. The webinar is running in GLG-043 and is available online at www.ul.ie/webinar . Please see the flyer below for more information about the presenter\, Jane Hart\, and the topics being covered. There are limited spaces available in GLG-043 so if you would like to attend in person\, please reply to this message to reserve a space.\n\n\n\nConsortium partners  University of Limerick\, Mary Immaculate College and Limerick Institute of Technology have lined-up a range of  TEL Roadshow events that will showcase  staff and student innovation proposals and will also  provide workshops on the skills identified by the local staff and student populations.
