What is a Web-based lesson?

Izquierdo, E. (2014) Web-based lessons, e-Portfolios and e-assessment

A web-based lesson is…

…simply a lesson that in some way incorporates a Web site or many Web sites. A Web-based lesson can be conducted entirely online or it can be a traditional classroom lesson with an online component…It can be used in a lesson for a variety of purposes, including research, reading, writing, publishing, communication and collaboration with teachers and learners around the world. (World Education Literacy Division, 2005)

Izquierdo, E. (2014) Web-based lessons, e-Portfolios and e-assessment

AdvantagesWeb-based lessons:• Are more interactive, dynamic and interesting.• Develop creativity.• Promote original activities.• Promote critical thinking.• Promote digital skills development.• Provide opportunities for all learning styles.• Fit to any target language level and students’ age.• Improve teacher-student and student-student interaction. • Promote collaboration.• Are very useful for language learners since they are exposed to a variety of

formats, images, video, and sound.• Are a great tool for teachers. They can share their course works easily.• Can be used for multicultural exchange purposes.

What is an e-portfolio?

Izquierdo, E. (2014) Web-based lessons, e-Portfolios and e-assessment

This image belongs to Helen Barrett, 2007. See the original image in context.

An e-portfolio is…

“… a purposeful collection of information and digital artifacts that demonstrates development or evidences learning outcomes, skills or competencies. The process of producing an ePortfolio (writing, typing, recording etc.) usually requires the synthesis of ideas, reflection on achievements, self-awareness and forward planning; with the potential for educational, developmental or other benefits. Specific types of ePortfolios can be defined in part by their purpose (such as presentation, application, reflection, assessment and personal development planning), pedagogic design, level of structure (intrinsic or extrinsic), duration (episodic or life-long) and other factors.“ (Newcastle University, 2008)

Izquierdo, E. (2014) Web-based lessons, e-Portfolios and e-assessment

Advantages

E-portfolios are excellent for:

• EFL teaching and learning• Fostering content• Developing creativity• Increasing students' motivation• Working collaboratively• Promoting and developing group work• Integrating ICT into the traditional f2f classroom• Developing tech skills

e-Portfolios for K-12by Helen Barrett, 2009

Izquierdo, E. (2014) Web-based lessons, e-Portfolios and e-assessment

e-Portfolios for higher education by Helen Barrett, 2009

Izquierdo, E. (2014) Web-based lessons, e-Portfolios and e-assessment

Important points to consider…

• Purpose. Decide on the purpose for the portfolio. What are you trying to show with this portfolio? Are there outcomes, goals, or standards that are being demonstrated with this portfolio?

• Collection/Classification. What artifacts will you include in your portfolio? How will you classify these entries?

• Reflection. Reflection is the heart and soul of a portfolio. Reflection provides the rationale for why these artifacts represent achievement of a particular outcome, goal or standard. Blog entries provide an opportunity for reflection "in the present tense" or "reflection in action."

• Connection/Interaction/Dialogue/Feedback. This stage provides an opportunity for interaction and feedback on the work posted in the portfolio. This is where the power of Web 2.0 interactive tools becomes apparent.

• Summative Reflection/Selection/Evaluation. At the end of a course (or program), students would write a reflection that looks back over the course (or program) and provides a meta-analysis of the learning experience as represented in the reflections stored in the blog entries.

• Presentation/Publishing. The portfolio developer decides what parts of the portfolio are to be made public.

Assessment Vs Evaluation

Sue Watson

http://specialed.about.com/od/assessment/a/AandE.htm

• Assessment requires the gathering of evidence of student performance over a period of time to measure learning and understanding. Evidence of learning could take the form of dialogue, journals, written work, portfolios, tests along with many other learning tasks.

• Evaluation on the other hand occurs when a mark is assigned after the completion of a task, test, quiz, lesson or learning activity. A mark on a spelling test will determine if the child can spell the given words and would be seen as an evaluation.

Assessment toolsGeoscience Faculty-Carleton College (2009)

• Concept Maps - A diagramming technique for assessing how well students see the "big picture".

• Concept Tests - Conceptual multiple-choice questions that are useful in large classes. • Knowledge Survey - Students answer whether they could answer a survey of course

content questions.• Exams - Find tips on how to make exams better assessment instruments. • Oral Presentations - Tips for evaluating student presentations. • Poster Presentations -Tips for evaluating poster presentations. • Peer Review - Having students assess themselves and each other. • Portfolios - A collection of evidence to demonstrate mastery of a given set of concepts. • Rubrics - A set of evaluation criteria based on learning goals and student performance. • Written Reports - Tips for assessing written reports. • Other Assessment Types Includes concept sketches, case studies, seminar-style courses,
