Thank you all for your participation in the Problem Based Assessment presentation. So many interesting ideas and perspectives have been posted this week; this is a summary of what was discussed: PBA IN MET People highlighted a number of ways we have used PBA in MET, including creating concept maps, wikis, blogs, as well as […]

My feeling is that PBAs may be one of the more difficult of the emerging markets for which to develop ventures. I came to this conclusion in reflecting both on David V’s outlining of the crucial difference between products and services, and one of the optional readings which outlined how PBA is fundamentally about performance […]

In my teaching, I have used several PBA’s, even in just the last couple of years: Blogger and WordPress VoiceThread Webquests Glogster Museum Box ToonDoo, BitStrips, and Pixton All academic benefits aside, I enjoy using them with my students, as I like the variety of products I get to see and (in more cases than […]

I apologize as here I am on the last day of the week with my one post again! Work and life just seems to be getting in the way. Activity #1. I enjoyed many of the PBAs in MET and feel that I’ve learned a great deal more than I would have had I written […]

I initially found the excitement about product-based assessment curious… I had to think for awhile before I realized that my own experiences in journalism and law school and a legal apprenticeship were so problem-focused and product-focused that I hadn’t really given much thought to it. Even the exams in law school are cases to be […]

Take a moment to write your final post about which PBA future emerging market tool (product or service) you have used and which one you would like to see more of. As many have already mentioned, I would like to see the use of blogging become more common in classes and in my daily life. […]

I will agree with others in that I used blogs the most when creating projects, however, the one activity that really caused me to stretch my brain was digital storytelling. Many others have spoken about TOONDOOs, which is a simple comic strip creating platform that can be used to express complex ideas in a comic […]

Whoosh, the week flew by, and I barely got around to posting my initial thoughts of the topic of Product-Based Assessment, and now I need to post my final thoughts. This post will be a mixture of my conflicted thoughts on assessment in general, as well as which already-existing learning technologies do an adequate job […]
Continue reading My First (and Final??) PBA Post Posted in: Week 10: Product-Based Assessments
As I was drafting my final post, contemplating David’s question about product based ventures in the PBA space I noticed that Brenda made a similar post in her Final Post: Emerging PBA for the future. I also see the value in a framework for ePortfolios that support PBAs related to Professional Development in the workplace. […]
Continue reading Final Post – Products Posted in: Week 10: Product-Based Assessments
I have used e-portfolio, blogs, and wikis. I like the affordances of reflection and authorship. However, although they have proven quite effective, I would like if the assessment could be in a form that was directly related to the product. For example, a wiki and blog seem so far removed from Mathematics in so many ways. For this, […]

Hi,
I also like concept map.
Unfortunately, there are times I feel that it is “subjective” (.. I am sure there is a more appropriate word (than “subjective”) to describe… )
What if the student sees relationship between node A and B , and we (teacher) didn’t (and vice-versa)?
I do not use any specific PBA tools in my class. I have tried blog in the past. Unfortunately, I discovered that some students would just ask their friends to do it. The discovery was by accident. We have a Lab room open to any students. We have a Lab technician who handles the hardware. On that day, he was very busy. So, I decided to give him some assistance in the Lab room. When I enter the Lab room to fix the printer connection, it was then I discovered that some of my students are asking someone else to do their blog.
