dbdc homework for 26th March

There are two distinct sets of things to do this month:

Peer Review

We will be starting to peer-review each others’ emergent portfolios. We’ll give you the allocation of review pairs and a set of instructions. Make sure you do your review before you come to the Commons in March, as we shall be dedicating time within-session for individual discussion and feedback.

Evaluation

This is a bit of a messy category, as it includes several different kinds things as well as some things that have several aspects. So under “evaluation” we include, for example:

• end-of-course review (Did it work for you?),
• exams and grading (Did it work for them?),
• longitudinal evaluation—that is, was the course the same this year as before (Did it work for the institution?).

There may be other things you want to include here, too.

So, for sure, you’ll want to bring:

• description of feedback mechanisms you use—surveys, questionnaires, anonymous questions—and an example of the information you get from them.
• grading (i.e. giving marks for student work). Which pieces of work, why, how? And some examples of the information you/they get.
• whatever your QA requires of you—what statistics, what review, how often? Also, make sure you bring an example of any “summary” representation that’s generated for Exam Boards, Board of Studies or the like.
