Transcription

1 Objectives in canvas Dr Anne Cunningham PAPRSB Institute of Health Sciences To illustrate the ease of use of the JISC plagiarism detection service TURNITIN To share experience of marking on-line (eg lab reports, critical reviews) To promote audio-feedback and share student feedback To demonstrate the speed of marking and the tools to provide detailed and individual student feedback Plan Overview : Originality reports Feedback text / quickmarks / rubriks Audiofeedback Submit your own assignment See the originality report Practice with the interface in canvas Summary My background Degree and PhD (University of Leeds ) Postdoctoral researcher (University of Newcastle ) Senior Lecturer (University of Sunderland ) First web pages (online learning simple html using JAVA) Second generation material (dreamweaver coursebuilder ) Third generation inside WebCT / Blackboard ( ) Principal Lecturer (University of Sunderland ) 2005 Audiofeedback 2007 Assessment Associate Professor (Universiti Brunei Darussalam 2012-to date) 2012 (direct sign in) Canvas 2014 (link to turnitincourse) Canvas integration 2016 My teaching into Biomedical Science Assessment University of Sunderland (2012): Second year immunology module (n=70) Final year immunology module (n=55) Universiti Brunei Darussalam (2016): Second year immunology module (n=39) Final year immunology module (n=24) MY AIMS: Apply clear and transparent criteria on how to assess student work Be fair and consistent (from the beginning to the end of the day!) Give useful feedback that the students can learn from ie positive but also stretching MY WORRIES: Students paying no attention to my carefully crafted feedback comments and only looking at the mark Students not collecting marked work after the module has finished Many days of marking 1

2 Assessment Multiple purposes What am I supposed to do to get marks? Assessment for Grading: Assessment for Learning: To make academic judgements on student achievement Programme Assessment Boards Module Assessment Boards To help our students improve their performance and enhance achievement Assessment Criteria Formative Assessment Feedback What do I expect? How will I grade it? How can I write helpful / stretching feedback..? Responsibility Fairness Transparency Internal and external moderation Plagiarism detection = originality reports Grademark / Peermark AUDIOFEEDBACK Figure 2: From Composition Chronicle: Newsletter for Writing Teachers 8 (3), April 1995, p. 11. is a powerful plagiarism detection tool used by the majority of Universities in the UK and has been adopted by UBD. Students submit their work online and an originality report is generated. This clearly identifies the sections of text which appear elsewhere on the web or in the database. It can be used formatively to promote good academic practice so that students synthesise information and express it in their own words. It offers significant benefits for markers via GRADEMARK which enables tutors to leave text comments and develop Quickmark rubrics ie commonly given feedback which can be reused with a single click. The most recent release of turnitin also has the facility to leave a short audio comment (less than 3 minutes). Students can see their marked work when they log back in, and can view their mark, any text comments and listen to their individual audio-feedback. Lecturers can also see when students have accessed their marked report and collected the feedback. have released an ipad app so that work can be marked / feedback given in a convenient and user friendly way Masterclasses enable different staff to contribute assessments (in sections) to the same module 2

3 Here is a text comment This is a quickmark This is a quickmark Generic Feedback Audio feedback Lab report:analysis of specific anti-r.equi antibody levels using an Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) Module learning outcome no 7: Demonstrate competence in a series of immunological techniques and report writing. 1 Species names should be underlined or in italics 2 Latin abbreviations (eg et al) should be underlined or in italics 3 References cited in the text should include the year 4 The purpose of the introduction is to set the context for your experiment so should be in sufficient detail. You should refer to journal articles. 4 Methods - enough detail is need so that someone can repeat your experiment eg you don't need to know what well was used, just the dilution, final volume and number of replicates 5 Write your methods in the third person, past tense. They shouldn't be written like a list and should resemble a journal article more than a lab guide 6 You were asked to calculate the titre for each sample, ie the last dilution at which there is a positive response 7 Express the titre as the last positive dilution ie 1 in Ensure your graph has a linear and not descriptive axis 9 If you reference a website, then include the author /organisation that wrote the page, the URL and the date last accessed 10 Don't just include large chunks of text from another author, but evaluate the information and put into your own words 11 Include potential sources of error in your discussion I sat with my ipad and thought about that student (have done it with a voice recorder, or straight into audacity using a microphone / PC). Aimed to say something NICE, something IMPORTANT and something PRACTICAL (a) Portfolio already marked and verbalised my feelings about the work (b) Lab report read through each section making comments at the time (c) Critical paper review reflected the key points of the student work (used UK examples plus my audiofeedback in UBD to help explain my expectations to students) (d) Given generic feedback (least popular) (e) Collected audio from tutors on what they are looking for in a particular piece of work 3

4 My feedback Generic feedback I enjoyed the marking! Individual feedback I felt I was really talking to the student and that I could be more specific and personal. My first sound files were 3-5 minutes long which enabled me to give much more than the few lines written on a piece of work or described in a generic feedback sheet. TURNITIN enables you to speak for up to 3 MINS which is PERFECT Student feedback After listening to the audio files for the feedback of both pieces of coursework, I believe that it is a great idea. It allows a personal one to one feeling of feedback while sitting at home. It saves trailing to uni to find out the feedback with no guarantee of catching the lecturer. I second that xxx, Great Idea for audio feedback, surely we should have a whole section for podcasts of all sorts, it was nice to consider Dr Anne going personal on each audio recording. Hope this is the future for feedback! Hope it is used in the future, good idea!!!!! Wow this was kool to listen to, easy clear and straightforward, its the kind of feedback you cant refuse to hear, once you press play you get the good points and the bad points, when i came on to listen to it, i was like oh dear this could be sad news and was scared of listening to it but i like the completeness of the feedback, sure things that have been helpful and i think i will be better doing the samething now even without seeing the returned work. Thanks Anne and i think this was a great idea and surely audio feedback is a plus i did not notice the audio feedback until i came on webct to look for the exam results. this system is really good especially being all the way in malaysia. thanks for the feedback Student feedback I thought the feedback was excellent, the whole idea of audio feedback is great and I definitely support its use. It helped highlight the important points of improvement and the fact that your voice could be heard made it more relevant and 'true'. I have a learnt a great deal. Thank you. I found the audio feedback very useful and better than lecturers notes written on a piece of work. However, i dont think that the generic audio feeback is as useful as the personal audio feedback that was given for each group's work. SMOOTH Very easy to detect plagiarism and stop the copy / paste culture Enables you to leave a mark / comments and audio-feedback for each INDIVIDUAL student automatically All submissions are date and time stamped - no heavy piles of paper / no lost work Students value the audio-feedback more than any other intervention I have ever tried in my career to date!

5 Have a try Go to CANVAS 1 (you should be a student ) Click on the assignment tab Upload a document (SEE THE LARGE BLUE BUTTON- Submit assignment) See an originality report from a student s perspective Click on Submission details Go to the coloured tab with a % in it (note it may take time for turnitin to process the originality report) Have a try OK? Any questions Go to any module Click on the assignment tab Click on add assignment ENABLE TURNITIN SUBMISSION You can modify the turnitin settings at this stage (peer review or not?) 5

6 Set up your assignment Set the start date and end date Set who can see it (default: everyone) You can go into to the turnitin settings if you want to take a look (default is OK for me) WAIT until the deadline and your students submit work 6

7 Final thoughts Rewarding process I feel the effort I put into marking is being more effectively shared with my students Almost micro-teaching and enables mini-tutorials that are focussed and specific Universally positive feedback from students: I am a convert! well, again. The feedback is awesome because most of my weakness had been mentioned which is going to help me improve my skills on critical review. I will further my scope on the wider region and not only on the paper itself so i think i will do better next time. thanks again for the audio feedback. - summary Simple system to use / single sign in with Canvas Can set up master classes if more than one member of staff is contributing (sections) Can set different types of assignment (standard, peer mark, revision ) Excellent plagiarism detection Grademark is simple to use and enables you to leave text comments, quick marks and develop rubrics of common feedback Audiofeedback facility Excellent ipad app can download student work / mark offline 7
