Learn more about Turnitin?
Have better instructions for your assignments?
This
two hour hands on workshop will provide the opportunity for you to prepare your
online assessments for next semester. The Moodle assignment activity allows you
to easily track when students submit, download their assignments for marking
and provide rich feedback on their work. It eliminates the need to
manually collect assignments.
We
will sit down with you and show you how to set up a structured Moodle page that
contains all of the details of your assignment. You will prepare your Moodle
assignment and get Turnitin ready. You'll also learn how to make
assignment marking and feedback easier and more efficient. There will be plenty
of time for you to work with our team to prepare and organize your assignments.
Please
Note: You will need to come prepared with an assignment that is
already online that needs some updating or a new assignment that you would like
to put online.
Level:
Beginner - Intermediate
When:
Tuesday July 19, 2016, 2.00-4.00pm.
Where:
MNHS Teaching and Learning Hub, Room C101, 10 Chancellors Walk,
Clayton campus.

Please

Building Useful Rubrics
Rubrics
are a popular tool for outlining criteria and for assessing and evaluating
student achievement. They are often in a table/matrix with 3-4 levels and
descriptions of criteria per each level. Once developed, a good rubric can be
used for years.
Moodle
provides tools for easily creating rubrics and associating them with your
assignments. If you are an instructor who needs a rubric for an
assignment in your unit (such as a lab, project, model, presentation, etc) this
is the workshop for you. By properly constructing a good (and detailed enough)
rubric (with added marks) you’ll save yourself time in marking and you’ll
provide your students with a good guide to evaluating their ability.
In
this two hour workshop we will work with you to create a useful rubric within
your Moodle course.
Please
Note: You will need to come prepared with either an assignment
that is already online, or a new assignment, that you would like to develop a
rubric for.
