A “Competence in Practice” (CiPA) self assessment tool was developed initially as a research instrument as part of the Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning; Assessment and Learning in Practice Settings. The tool asks a series of questions against which participants self-rate their preparedness for practice. A working group then created software from this that is used as a formative exercise to rate confidence and perceived competence in practice. This freely available package (http://cipa.hud.ac.uk ) responds with feedback to individual users on their self evaluation, facilitating reflection and guided supervision. The development involved an innovative, collaborative partnership with academics and students, who undertook the work as a paid project as well as actively participating in workshops and conferences. Working collaboratively was a powerful experience for all involved. This case study presents the development of the tool, focusing on the collaborative aspects of the work. Working collaboratively with students in this manner enabled many positive outcomes and lessons for the future.

On-Line Testing is that sector of e-learning aimed at assessing learner’s knowledge through e-learning means. In on-line testing, due to the necessity of evaluating a big mass of learners in strict times, the means for knowledge evaluation had to evolve to satisfy the new necessities: objective tests, more rapidly assessable, started gaining more credence in the determination of learners’ results. In this chapter, the authors present an On-Line Testing system, named eWorkbook, which can be used for evaluating learner’s knowledge by creating (the tutor) and taking (the learner) on-line tests based on multiple choice question type. Its use is suitable within the academic environment in a blended learning approach, by providing tutors with an additional assessment tool, and learners with a distance self-assessment means. Among other features, eWorkbook can record and visualize, in a suitable graphical format, learner’s interactions with the system interface during the test session. This is valuable information for understanding the learner’s behaviour when taking a test. In particular, the graphical analysis of the test outcomes has helped us in the discovery of several strategies employed by the learners to perform the test. In the paper, the main characteristics of the system are presented together with a rationale behind them and an outline of the architectural design of the system.

This chapter focuses upon a case study of an online higher education intervention – an interactive resource the author has devised as an aid to the teaching and learning of undergraduate digital video editing (DVE). This resource specifically addresses drama and fiction postproduction principles, practice and techniques. The repository, which includes streamed materials available to download, guides the student through the film production process in a step-by-step way (for students), with suggested class based activities and tasks using the materials (for tutors). The resources include the script, all planning documentation, all production paperwork, and all rushes shot for different productions. The student/tutor navigates through these materials guided by a combination of voice-overs, video tutorials by those personnel involved in the production, and clips taken from the “making of” documentaries. This chapter explores the intervention within the wider context of higher education online teaching and through the lens of virtual learning environment pedagogic theory.

This chapter provides an introduction to formative assessment, especially applied within an online or e-learning environment. The characteristics of four strategies of online formative assessment currently most widely used—online adaptive assessment, online self-assessment, online collaborative assessment, and portfolio—are described. References are made throughout recent research about the effectiveness of online formative assessment for optimizing students’ learning. A case study in which a computer-assisted assessment tool was used to design and apply self-assessment exercises is presented. The chapter emphasizes the idea that all type of assessment needs to be conceptualized as “assessment for learning.” Practical advices are detailed for the planning, development, implementation, and review of quality formative online assessment.

This study examines 10 preservice teachers’ use of Freiberg’s Person-Centered Learning Assessment (PCLA), a self-assessment measure. The PCLA serves as an individualized resource for educators to assess their classroom teaching and learning particularly in the affective domain. Study findings indicate that the 10 student teachers identified future pedagogical changes as a result of utilizing the PCLA, with eight student teachers specifically identifying changes in their classrooms prior to completion of the study. As explored in this study, self-assessments seem to provide novice educators with a unique form of feedback and have the potential to lead to deeper levels of pedagogical self-reflection and resulting changes.

Common Concern

In many universities, economics lecturers now face the challenge of dealing with large, diverse classes, especially at undergraduate level. A common concern is the non-attendance at lectures of unmotivated (conscript) students. Poor lecture quality, as reflected in student evaluations of teaching (SETs), is often blamed for lack of attendance and consequent poor performance. This paper presents the results of a student assessment of a macroeconomics 1 course, coupled with a self-assessment of their own input into the course. The results obtained, using econometric models, suggest that students inputs and attitudes to the course are equally, or more, important than lecture attendance itself.

This paper reports on a study in which students co-constructed a rubric checklist with their lecturer and which they used to assess themselves. Data were collected by means of a student questionnaire, tutor feedback, as well as tutors’ and lecturers’ observations to ascertain students’ experiences and opinions of the design process and of using the tool to self-assess. The findings show that co-designing the rubric checklist with students increased their motivation and enhanced students’ confidence in completing the task. In addition, students gained enormous benefits from using the rubric checklist as a self-assessment tool. Reflecting critically on the feedback received from students and tutors the authors argue that for enhanced student engagement in the teaching and learning process they should be involved as active participants in the assessment processes. In addition, students need to learn to assess the quality of their own work early in their academic career with continuous guided practice throughout their studies with the intention of making the practice of self-assessment a norm rather than an exception, thereby creating independent reflective learners.

The investigation identified the application of self-assessment and coevaluation in the learning processes in teachers of the School of Basic Education “Nueva Paquisha” of the Nuevo Paquisha community, of the Rocafuerte Canton. The methodology that was used was experimentation, using the survey as an instrument, which allowed us to know that self-evaluation and coevaluation are necessary for students to develop criteria and opinions about their evaluative practices within the classroom. The results obtained improved authentic evaluations in the teaching and learning process, contributing fundamental results to the transformation of information acquired in both the pedagogical day and in daily life, at the same time providing the information that the teacher needs to know to improve and reinforce the knowledge With this practice, the student demonstrates and values the achievements and teachers allow them to confirm the effectiveness of the teaching process.
