In the e-Learning Planning Framework | Teaching and Learning dimension, the Assessment strand looks at,
"How technologies are used to monitor, review and evaluate the impact of teaching on student achievement in ways that reflects our bi-cultural heritage.”
In an upcoming Enabling e-Learning LIVE event, Jill Hammonds and Mary-Anne Murphy will be looking at how important formative assessment practices are to help benefit students - with a particular focus on using e-tools to capture their learning.
They ask,
If this sounds like you, then you’ll enjoy this practical workshop, which will unpack e-tools in context, while leaving you with some specific strategies (templates) for making overall teacher judgments (OTJs) in writing, reading and maths.
We’d also love to hear what you’re doing with assessment using e-learning tools as well, so register HERE for FREE!

Here is Dylan Wiliam talking about feedback on learning (formative assessment) in today's webinar:
Yesterday, Jill Hammonds and Mary-Anne Murphy delivered a jam-packed webinar on ways to collect/collate formative feedback using e-tools in literacy. They also touched on ways to organise and archive student learning digitally and shared examples of these processes.
During the webinar, three Google doc templates were shared - that make particular references to digital evidence - as part of Overall Teacher Judgements (OTJs) for writing, reading and numeracy.
Feel free to download their presentation here and look through the e-tools and examples at your own leisure. You might also be interested in watching the whole webinar in this recording.
During the webinar, one of the participants asked for question starters in learning conversations that help tp add some rigor to the feedback process. Mary-Anne has shared this reading, ‘How do they walk on hot sand?’ Using questions to help pupils learn, which talks about key factors in effective questioning that promotes dialogue around learning.
Mary-Anne has also used the following 'assessment for learning' questions with students, which you may also find useful.
Another participant also asked if anyone uses learning stories to demonstrate learning as digital evidence and has offered this resource as well: http://www.throughdifferenteyes.org.nz/
Are there any examples you’d like to share as well?
