ETEC565A Assignment 4 Reflections<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the past I\u2019ve used LMS\u2019s primarily to publish course notes, record grades, and coordinate student access to external\/supplemental resources. I\u2019ve also created a few quizzes, primarily for my own curiosity, mainly to understand the technical features.<\/p>\n

As it pertains to feedback, I\u2019ve used comment features when posting grades. After reading Gibbs and Simpson (2004), I began to think more about formative and timely feedback that can help learners in the moment rather than provide comments after the fact that might not be too useful.<\/p>\n

While this exercise prompted me to focus on Moodle\u2019s Quiz tool, I ended up investigating most of the Moodle tools to see how and where facilitator\/peer feedback can be provided. It seems that most of the tools can be manipulated to do so.<\/p>\n

Specifically, as it pertains to Moodle\u2019s quiz feature, it seems worthwhile to consider Chickering\u2019s (1987) seven principles of good practice particularly the aspects relating to active learning and meaningful feedback.<\/p>\n

In summary, Moodle offers a number of assessment\/feedback tools. The challenge is to use them at the appropriate time in a meaningful context that supports learning. Instructors should explore assessment and feedback beyond the scope of multiple choice questions and other traditional snapshot grading tools.<\/p>\n
