Professor Geoff Crisp and his team at the University of Adelaide are running a series of "webinars" on the topic of transforming assessment through digital technologies. The first webinar, presented by Geoff Crisp, took place last week. An archive of the session is available here. The talk included some interesting examples of student learning activities that involve the use of Web 2.0 tools and virtual worlds.
We will be presenting at the next webinar on Wednesday 26th May (5pm EST). The talk will describe our project activities to date and provide an overview of our findings from surveys and interviews with Australian lecturers who assess students' Web 2.0 authoring. We will also review the draft guidelines for good practice that we have developed and are currently field-testing. Audience members will be encouraged to participate and contribute their experiences. The seminar is hosted by the University of Adelaide, Australia using the Wimba virtual classroom.
