Team-based learning (TBL)Team-based learning involves a sequence of activities that include individual work, team work, and immediate feedback. It implies the student’s individual pre-class preparation, followed by a test, which is answered twice by the students, firstly in an individual setting (iRAT step) and then in a group setting (tRAT step) | ||
Technology-enhanced/ digital assessment toolsTechnology-enhanced/ digital assessment tools. The very terms digital or technology-enhanced assessment tools suggest that these tools are any kind of aids that enable and facilitate assessment of both student learning and learning outcomes. Digital assessment tools can also be used in order to facilitate active student learning, promote collaborative working, and support peer learning, feedback and assessment practices. Finally, a note should be made that digital assessment tools can also provide teachers with alternative assessment methods and enable monitoring and tracking of an individual student’s learning progress at a given time. (McVey, 2016). Some of the common examples include the following: quizzes and surveys, rubrics, online tests, reflective journals, e-portfolios, forums, etc. | |
Technology-enhanced/digital assessment criteria and indicatorsTechnology-enhanced/digital assessment and learning outcomes. Assessment of learning outcomes usually carry a more summative aspect of assessment and is related with high-relevance assessments at the end of the study period. By the definition, assessment of learning outcomes is understood as an evaluation of student knowledge, where the main goal is to check student skills and content knowledge which have been gained as a result of the learning process. The assessment is carried out against specified criteria that are connected to those certain learning objectives (Räisänen and Räkköläinen, 2014) | ||
TransparencyWithin the scope of digital assessment, transparency refers to the openness and sharing of explicit assessment criteria with students, ensuring that they understand overall learning outcomes and indicators, and how they are connected. In addition to supporting accountability, transparency reinforces students’ involvement with the teaching and learning process, as well as self-regulation, by clearly outlining goals, strategies and marking schemes, all of which are timely communicated and can be discussed with students. | |
