Graphical display of : Use of
Technology to Engage Learners (10 secs). Short video clips of students using
technology as they learn (30 secs)
 |
Music continues. I will speak on how Distance education instructors
are using assessment as a tool to measure the effectiveness of the distance
education platform as a learning space. However, there are limits to research
on how to measure successful learning, transfer of learning, and achievement
of learning outcomes within distance learning environments (Chapman &
Stone, 2010, p. 667).
|
Video clips of students engaged in
online collaboration is shown (approximately15 seconds).
 |
The music will
begin to fade. I will discuss the challenge of changing assessment models from
individual learning to a model that supports collaborative learning (Laureate
Education, 2008).
|
“Four models for assessment in a
collaborative environment” will display (approximately 5 seconds). Responses
will display afterwards which include “(a) students assess their peer such as
rating schemes, (b) students receive feedback from online communities such as
list-serves, (c) educators assess based on student contributions such as
wikis, and (d) educators assess based on metrics from learning management
systems” (approximately 1 minute).
 |
I will speak about the four models
of assessment in a collaborative environment (Laureate Education, 2008).
|
“Log - On”, “Hours Online”, “Group
– Related Activities” and “Post Contributions” will display on the screen
(approximately 5 seconds). Next a video clip of a student working on a
computer will be for display.
 |
I will speak on how learning
management systems allow educators to assess student learning (Palloff &
Pratt, 2005)
|
Display of computer labs within a
school building (approximately 1 minute)
 |
I will speak about the
characteristics that support learning assessment through online environments.
.
|
Video clips of teachers working on
computers (approximately 30 seconds).
 |
I will speak on how scholars will benefit from types of
assessment that utilizes teaching pedagogies that are effective. Assessment
should focus on better understanding potential in learning indeterminate
personal and social metamorphic potential (Willnk & Jacobs, 2012, p.
147).
|
Video clips of teachers working on
computers (approximately 30 seconds)
 |
I will describe blackboard as a
learning management system that allows educators to assess students (Debuse &
Lawley, 2011, p. 163).
|
“Fair and Direct”, “Based on Student
Outcomes”, and “Equitable” will display on the screen (Approximately 10
seconds). The next display will show students working on computers
(Approximately 10seconds).
 |
I will speak about the concept of
online assessment (Laureate Education, 2008).
|
Multiple teachers working on
computers will display on the screen (approximately 30 seconds). I will come
on display reading behind a podium (approximately 30 seconds).
 |
Contemporary music will continue
and I will discuss how assessment provides an opportunity for teacher to give
feedback and for students to evaluate online course learnings (Laureate
Education, 2008). Debuse
and Lawley (2011) state that students believe online assessments provides
strong educational, economic, and environmental benefits. Online assessments
have few drawbacks (p. 169).

Applause audio clip displays with

I
will say, “Distance education instructors are using assessment as a tool to
measure the effectiveness of the distance education platform as a learning space”
(Chapman & Stone, 2010, p. 667). Afterwards, I will say, “It gives me great pleasure to
introduce our keynote speaker, George Siemens”.
