 My question is on assessment of create your questions. In the peer review assessment for the learning objective 5, the content is 0 while the cognitive level is 2, how can it happen? Some. Okay, so you are referring to the question paper assignment that you have done, right? The content match is not satisfactory and the learning objective match is same or exemplary. So for all the participants, this question is about an assignment where you had done peer assessment of question paper created by your peer on the same domain. So apparently there is a situation wherein the content match was not there or the content match score was 0, but there is a learning objective, perfect learning objective match which is exemplary 2. So am I right in the question? Point number 1, do look at the peer who has done this assessment. It is never possible that you will have a content match as 0 and learning objective as exemplary. So a content match can be exemplary and learning objective can be a complete mismatch. So I would just post this particular question in the forum where you have the strengthening community forum with specific example, the question, the learning objective and the topic. We will respond back to you in the modal forum. So if you ask me on one-on-one, it is not possible to have a complete content mismatch but a learning objective match. So it may be possible that the person who has assessed, he or she would have looked at the learning objective level of the module and it would have been a create level or evaluate level and the question that was asked is a create level or an evaluate level for a different topic. This is not, so the, as per the assignment you never put assessment questions out of topic. So this particular scenario will happen only if you put assessment questions out of topic at the same learning objective level. So as far as assessment is concerned, this should never have happened. Yeah, Knowledge Institute of Technology. Yes sir, good evening sir. Yeah, good evening. Sir Mike, our question is, since you have given an assignment to the participants through modal link, similar fashion is it possible to give assignments to students from faculty side by using wiki space so that students can do their assignments and post it on the wiki space. As a faculty we can able to evaluate it and also we can make ensure that whether students are doing the assignments on right time and submitting to us and also we can able to grade the assignments. Is it possible in wiki space? Okay, so this specific question is about the use of wiki spaces as a tool for giving assignments. So people who have actually registered for wiki spaces, the answer first of all is yes, but you will have to use a specific feature called classroom, where the wiki space is used as a classroom. It is equivalent to a classroom where you post assessments, assessment questions, make students answer it, but it is completely beyond the scope of this workshop to deal more in detail. But yes, wiki spaces can be used for posting assessment questions and evaluating your students. I would like to add one more broader point here. One of the goals of this workshop is for you to become familiar with several tools. So we might just be able to provide a small amount of familiarity with tools, but then it's completely up to you and your goals as well as your creativity as to how you use them as teachers. So if you choose to take some feature of the tool that we haven't discussed and in fact use it with your own students, that's something really nice and then you can share it with the rest of the community, ET for ET community on how you did that. So one of our goals is to first get you familiar as a learner and then just let lose your creativity and feel free to use, to push the boundaries. There are people who have used wikis for assessment and some extra features of the tool might be needed and I'm sure that's something you can learn on your own. Rangasamy College of Technology, please go ahead. Good afternoon sir. After locking in wiki spaces to go to our wiki page, so we go to church and find is there any link for our wiki page from our wiki space after locking in? Okay, so the question is you have to search for your wiki page after logging into the wiki spaces. So the quick answer is make sure you note the page name. So typically if it is an RC, that is why we have given simple page names. So if your RC is 1313, so the moment you type wikis4trial.wiki spaces.com slash RC1313, you should go to your page. That is the simplest way of, so if you have adhered to all the nomenclature, then it is your wiki web page slash your RC ID, which gives your RC homepage. Good evening sir. Good evening. This is the question about today's assignment regarding wiki page group creation. Sir, we have the doubt whether the group can be created with the pair activity done. Those people we have done with pair activity, the three peoples or some other else. How to create the group? So group can be the pairs also. So as a group, then you will have to, each of you have to do an assessment. That is all. So you can take the pairs that you have already have within the domain. This is to just to ensure that the people get relevant domains and not anything else. So you can use the same groups that you already have. So RC1177. Sir, in wiki space, we were able to insert or delete a row in a table or doubt us how to merge two columns in a table. Okay, so let me just give you a quick answer to this. You will not be able to merge two tables or two rows or two columns with the current functionality. You can just add on tables and add on columns. So it is not your, what do you say, word editor per se. It is typical what you see, what you get editor. You can just put up tables. That is why the examples that we have are for simple tables. No merging, no, what do you say, crossover or other things like that. So a typical wiki questions, just have a look at help.wikispaces.com. This particular link is noted in the homepage right at the bottom. Take this link if you want to have more instructions on editing the page. So the web link is help.wikispaces.com. You will get how to edit wiki or various operations within the wiki. This is also, this page is actually linked from the wiki for trial homepage. Go down, if you need additional help, please click this button. So there is a specific instruction on that. Click on the help link to learn more about how to use your wiki. E-B-E-T group. Good evening sir. Yeah please. The question is about how to improve the student's writing skill, just for colleges located in very rural area and also they studied in different mediums, I studied in the English. How to improve the writing skill exam. Okay, so the question is how to improve student's writing skills and this is actually very interesting but again one of those challenging questions in one of the early Q&A sessions I think on day one or day two there was a whole lot of questions and discussion on how to improve student's communication and is there something that ICT can help with. So again there is no one right answer or a single good answer here but I'll just share with you some practices that people follow that have been known to help. If you want to improve student's writing skills, one thing is that you have to give them practice in writing and then feedback on what they write. So again this might seem very labour intensive for an engineering teacher and some engineering college instructors might say that this is not our jobs but at some level it is because to become good engineers we also want our students to communicate well. So a couple of things you can do is to actually give them opportunity to present, let's say either their projects or give them a challenging assignment like a problem, a complex problem and ask them questions where you actually make them write instead of simply writing numerical answers. Now as to how to assess, this is where peer assessment and rubrics have an important role to play. You can form your own rubrics for writing or you can find rubrics for improving writing and for effective communication and have students do self-assessment and peer assessment that will help them reflect on what they did was right or wrong. So this morning also we mentioned a lot about reflection and higher order complex tasks like writing do require students to a understand what they did right and what they did wrong, rubrics are one choice and then give them opportunities to improve. The second thing is about the medium itself and what we are finding out from research studies, our own research studies as well as others is that you don't need to translate everything into the local language. But it turns out that what students prefer because they also want to learn and improve their English is you can use ICT tools like videos for example video learning materials with a few keywords translated in the local language that has been found to be fairly effective in terms of getting students to understand English from the videos. So a combination of giving them practice and reflection and then some hints through ICT tools is some suggestions. Again, this is a question that we can post on Moodle and anybody else who has experience in this is welcome to share their answers on Moodle. Yeah, Oriental College. Hello, good evening sir, this is Tuneel Tripathi. Sir, can we append in Widget like support I want to append a compiler in Widget. So can I run any program with the help of that? So if append the Widget for wiki spaces, yes you can as long as the site allows you to. So if you want to add news, so there is a sites policy you will have to read through it and then add the Widget in that, that's all. Sir, can discussion program can be used as a TPS activity in wiki? Yes, definitely yes. So this is an innovative use of a specific existing functionality of the tool. Though it came late, let's highlight this question. So the question from Oriental Colleges, can we use discussion forums in wiki or Moodle, right? Oriental College? Into the wiki. Okay, even in a wiki, can we use discussion forums for a TPS? Yes, the answer is yes, but you will have to carefully design your activity such that there is an explicit thing phase, there is an explicit pair phase and an explicit share phase. So ideally we would recommend it be used in pair and share, but even individual think can be posted and others can look at the discussion posts. And then understand what happened for that particular think idea. Okay sir, we have already tried this today and the response is very good. Okay, that's really good to hear. This is again a broadcast to all participants. So if you want to try something innovative by combining two techniques that you learned here. So let's say you learned one new instructional strategy that we did or we suggest for a face-to-face classroom. And you choose to do it with a certain tool or technology, do try it. And on day six, which is day after tomorrow, we will have an entire session on how you can measure success and effectiveness of these techniques and what kind of questionnaires or surveys you can give your students, how to actually determine in a scientific fashion whether what you tried works or not. So we'll do an entire session in the morning on day six on research methods and educational technology where we want ideas like this to be implemented. So hold on to these ideas and for everybody else also try to think of some of these interesting innovative ideas that you can try in class beyond saying that I'm going to use Moodle. So something interesting on how you can use Moodle for improving students' learning. And then we'll discuss how you can perform a research study based on it. Yeah, 1301. The question is like, is it possible to have an assessment strategy targeting higher cognitive levels when our learning objectives are already mapped for lower cognitive levels? This is somewhat similar to the question asked by Theagarajar College. So basically the thing is that you have some existing learning objectives and some contents. You have mapped lower order learning objectives for the content. So specifically 13011's higher order learning objectives to be asked for the same content. I would say you are doing injustice to the student because you have told them that you will only look at learning objectives at lower level and in the assessment you are actually looking at higher levels. So this is not what you should do when you explicitly say learning objectives because these are measurable performance expected from students. So the difference that this question has to the earlier question that Theagarajar College posted was in the case of Theagarajar College, the content was different. So there was no mapping between content that is actually taught and the content which has come in the exam. So again you are not doing justice to the student because you are asking them to perform at a level which was never stated before. So you have to be really upfront about what you want to measure on what you will measure and what contents you are going to measure. Okay, so School of Management Sciences. Sir, one part of my question has been already answered. I am left with one more point. Is it necessary to have a joint code for creating groups on wiki space? And if yes, who will provide the joint code? Okay, joining code for groups, this is a separate activity. We will provide you with the links or the permissions and procedures at the end of the workshop. This is a course portfolio assignment. The remote center coordinator who have already joined will be given the links. For remote center coordinators who have not joined yet, we will provide them joining links and also instructions on to join, instructions to make groups or add more participants to the main repository. Kurukshetra University. Question regarding online classroom tools like A-View and WebEx. We have, till now, we have not exposed to these tools for online classes like desktop sharing and when we can interact with our listeners. We have not exposed to that type of tools till now. Okay, so a quick answer to this. At this moment, we are looking at basic classroom practices, face-to-face instruction or a lab instruction. Maybe in future we might think of online classrooms but at present the scope is limited to face-to-face classrooms which is more prevalent across all the engineering colleges in India. Yes, so with that let's come to an end to today's Q&A session.
