Effective education involves the integration and alignment of three core systems, namely, curriculum, pedagogy and assessment. In this context, ensuring alignment between course outcomes, content and assessment is important for curricular coherence, and contributes to the validity of assessments. Consequently, there is a need for academics to appreciate the role of assessment in student’s learning and to be able to design quality assessments for particular contexts. In addition to the need for understanding and skill in assessment practices, more generally, there is a growing need to understand and know how to develop different types of assessment in the online space. This workshop focuses on digital assessment in the field of Higher Education with special emphasis on assessment tools in ulwazi and other available platforms.

In an online class we don’t receive feedback from our students in the same way that we do in a face-to-face class, so how do we know how our students are doing in an asynchronous learning environment? The Canvas New Analytics tool helps you see the interaction students are having with the course materials in your course on ulwazi. These analytics can help you identify which students may not be as engaged and allow you to reach out to those students. 

This webinar will look at how to:

  • enable the new analytics tool
  • view student page views and participation activity
  • track average course grades using interactive graphs or tables
  • message students who meet a certain criteria
  • download student views and participation data

Date: 11 November

Time: 10:30-12:00

This webinar is co-hosted by the Department of Family Medicine and Primary Care and the Adler Museum of Medicine.

Artists are by nature innovators. They make visible and audible the world around us through visual media, music, film, and theatre, and in so doing, they often seek to shift our perspective on the world as we experience it, even if, and perhaps especially because, we are challenged by what we see, feel, or hear. Both art and music are experiential and temporal, two aspects of the creative and performative act that have been challenged by recent circumstances. And in many ways, we can also see the art of medicine is equally experiential, temporal and performative, if in different ways. As art and music have always been part of the human experience and infused into many healing practices, this forum is an opportunity to reflect on the experience of artistic and creative innovators during the pandemic.

Time: 8:30—13:00

Venue: Online (Meeting link will be e-mailed once bookings are confirmed)
