Project Portfolio, Stephen Bostock

This is the document proposing the project, with links to the evidence provided.

Outcome 1 Conducted a review of CIT in learning showing an understanding of the underlying educational processes

Evidence of having conducted a review of appropriate technologies and their applications and demonstrated an awareness of their use in a range of learning situations.
  1. A presentation I gave in 1999 on the use of the Web on campus courses, including CAA
  2. A review of some Computer Assisted Assessment literature
  3. A review of software tools for generating Web assisted assessment
  4. A resource page with links to Web assisted assessment

Outcome 2 Analyzed opportunities and constraints in using CIT.

Evidence of having analyzed the learning needs of students, carried out a CIT audit to identify resource availability and constraints.
  1. A review of three Computer Science modules for use of CAA: learning objectives, students.
  1. A large first year course – Subsidiary Internet module
  2. A social science MSc module – Business Information Systems
  3. A technical MSc module – Multimedia and the Internet
  1. A list of available tools and environmental constraints.

Outcome 3 Designed and planned a strategy for integrating appropriate CIT

Evidence of having designed and planned a strategy for structuring the module on pedagogic principles to integrate appropriate CIT, including an evaluation plan. Identified appropriate technology.
  1. Selection of appropriate tools for each module
  2. Design of the Web Assisted Assessments
  3. Design of the evaluations
  4. The project plan

Outcome 4 Implemented a developed strategy

Evidence of having demonstrated basic project management and/or team working skills in implementing a strategy. Piloted a course using technology-supported learning. Enabled students to use the learning technologies effectively and supported the learning process as appropriate (delivered the course and assessed students).
Delivering assessments as evidenced by
  1. The Web assisted assessment pages, and example student performance where data was collected
  2. Tutor and demonstrator observations of assessment sessions, with reflection
  3. Module summative assessments of students

Outcome 5 Evaluated the impact of the interventions

Evidence of having evaluated the impact on students and colleagues of incorporating the technology, maintained an awareness of related developmental work and contextualized the findings.
  1. Student evaluations of the CAA
  2. An evaluation of these uses of CAA
  3. Policy for future use.

Outcome 6 Disseminated the findings of the evaluation

Evidence of having provided feedback for students and colleagues, and disseminated experience and findings to the department or more widely.
  1. A presentation for the Keele Teaching Network, staff seminar 1-2pm, May 9, 2000
  2. A presentation to the Computer Science Teaching and the Web conference (note in July 2000 - this did not take place due to the CPHC, with whom it was planned, handing over to the LTSN-ICS) .
  3. A presentation at the Computer Aided Assessment to support the ICS disciplines, University of Warwick, 5th - 6th April 2001. (Added November 2000.)

Outcome 7 Reviewed, planned and undertaken appropriate actions related to my own continuing professional development.

Evidence of reviewing my needs in relation to embedding CIT and made a continuing professional development action plan to meet them. Undertaken my own CPD as part of the action plan.
  1. An analysis and plan for my continuing professional development
  2. A conference attendance relating to CAA - LTSN-ICS workshop 15th June 2000
