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.
- A
presentation I gave in 1999 on the use
of the Web on campus courses, including
CAA
- A review of
some Computer Assisted Assessment
literature
- A review of
software tools for generating Web
assisted assessment
- 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.
- A review of three Computer Science
modules for use of CAA: learning
objectives, students.
- A large
first year course – Subsidiary
Internet module
- A social
science MSc module – Business
Information Systems
- A technical
MSc module – Multimedia and the
Internet
- 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.
- Selection of
appropriate tools for each module
- Design of the
Web Assisted Assessments
- Design of the
evaluations
- 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
- The Web
assisted assessment pages, and example
student performance where data was
collected
- Tutor and
demonstrator observations of assessment
sessions, with reflection
- 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.
- Student
evaluations of the CAA
- An evaluation
of these uses of CAA
- 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.
- A
presentation for the Keele Teaching
Network, staff seminar 1-2pm, May
9, 2000
- 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)
.
- 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.
- An analysis
and plan for my continuing professional
development
- A conference attendance relating to
CAA - LTSN-ICS
workshop 15th June 2000
