In this activity, you will independently explore additional sources and literature related to various aspects of assessment in digital education. The materials include scientific and professional articles, best-practice guidelines, and examples from teaching contexts.
Materials – recommended, but explore beyond these:
Materials may include the following two videos:
Video: Understanding Different Types of Assessments
Video: Assessment in Higher Education
Articles published in relevant academic journals such as:
Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education
Specialized issues of leading journals dedicated to assessment in higher education, such as:
Journal of Computer Assisted Learning: Volume 40, Issue 6
Conferences, such as:
Assessment in Higher Education conference
For the works or sources you find interesting, write a short note (following the instructions) that can serve as a basis for future activities and discussions for you or your colleagues.
Instructions for the note:
- Reference to the work (authors, title, source, year of publication, link)
- Relevance to the topic of assessment in higher education
- Key message to remember
- Possible application in your own context
Recommendations for participants
- Choose high-quality and up-to-date sources – in addition to the suggested ones, feel free to look for works published in the last 3–5 years, as practice and technologies change rapidly.
- Write your note briefly and clearly – the goal is not to give a detailed review, but to highlight what is most important and what colleagues can quickly understand and use.
- Emphasise applicability – when reflecting on possible application, consider how the idea could fit into your course or study programme.
- Connect with your own experience – this adds value for you and colleagues working in a similar context.
- Include a link whenever possible – this helps colleagues access the source immediately.
Share your notes with colleagues in the Database activity and read what others have written, as the collected materials will serve as a basis for further discussion and exploration.
Database activity enables participants and instructors to collaboratively create and share a collection of entries (e.g., best-practice examples, articles, projects, reflections). Each entry may include text, images, links, files, or other multimedia content.
Here is how to use the activity:
- Open the Database activity.
- Read the description and criteria provided (e.g., title, description, link).
- Add your entry by clicking the Add Entry button and entering information in the required fields.
- Click Save and Display.
- Review and comment on your colleagues’ entries.
