Hot Topic Theme: Feedback and Assessment
With the move the Canvas, and the new affordances provided to us in using Teams and Zoom in the classroom, we are exploring how UTS educators are taking these up and putting them into practice in innovative ways.
In this webinar, Evana Wright, and Chris Croese from the Faculty of Law, UTS share their practices in designing and delivering formal and informal assessment feedback online.
Evana will present on the Disruptive Technologies Lightning Talks and Encyclopaedia – an online assessment that facilitates the collective generation of knowledge by students and the use of internal feedback to support achievement of student learning outcomes.
Chris will demonstrate an easy way to use Office 365 online to monitor and engage with students, and provide feedback as they work in groups, but without physically or electronically ‘sitting in’ on the groups. In this way, feedback is provided in a non-threatening way; students do not feel intimidated by the teacher’s immediate presence, but they know that their work is being monitored and commentary will be provided.

What are Hot Topics?
Hot Topics are curriculum and teaching themes that have emerged in UTS from student learning experiences, student feedback surveys (SFS), consultations and other strategic projects. They are a series of professional development and engagement opportunities to enhance courses and provide longer-term support through community building and sustained critical dialogues.
