Teaching and supporting learning in an online environment

The recent and unprecedented move to online delivery of courses has left many educators transitioning to adapt their practice to an altered learning environment. Professor Stuart Kime and Jamie Scott of Evidenced Based Education discuss the challenges and opportunities for providing assessment and feedback online. Although they reference school contexts, these strategies are equally relevant to higher education.

In the podcast, Kime and Scott discuss effective approaches to:

‘retrieval’ and reinforcement of information

self-assessment

peer assessment

using ‘hinge’ questions or tasks to determine whether learners are ready to move on

providing feedback to learners

grading
