Used well, they can save significant amounts of marking time. This session is aimed particularly at new teaching staff and those unfamiliar with creating rubrics. We will first introduce you to the steps for producing a tailor-made rubric for any assignment. In the second half of the session, you will be given source materials and will work in a small group to produce a rubric for a given assignment. Time will be allotted for discussing the issues arising from the exercise.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

We will also recommend some useful tools for learning engagement that teachers can effectively use to complement their teaching strategies. In the second part, participants will get into groups to try out the new features. Laptop computers, iPads and TVs will be provided.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

We will begin by addressing some basic concerns: How do we \u2013 and why should we \u2013 create and maintain a 'questioning environment' in our classes? And how does polling fit in? We will then overview a practical framework for designing and implementing polling questions.\n\nIn the second half, we will investigate what makes a 'higher level' multiple-choice question, and how it can address learning outcomes. We will then take a detailed look at the practical aspects of constructing effective multiple-choice questions, with opportunities for hands-on practice.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Specifically, he will work with you about things like: lecture slides, materials for students to study, classroom management, assessment strategies, etc.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
