[{"id":3,"name":"Digital Learning Environment and Experiences","description":"

Projects can involve support for the design or redesign of your digital learning environments and teaching approaches that align with digital pedagogies and quality standards.

This category of projects may also include support for the planning and/or production of educational videos for use in UOW subjects/courses.

Designing online subject sites within Moodle that align to online learning environment standards.
Reviewing an existing Moodle site (using the Digital Uplift Check Tool) and developing an implementation plan for digitally uplifting the site to improve the online student experience.
Developing and implementing new ways of providing online learning experiences, e.g., through the creation of self-paced interactive modules that purposefully embed digital media and activities (e.g., use of videos, quizzes and H5P activities).
Implementing approaches to improving teacher and social presence through the provision of a variety of technology enhanced communication and feedback mechanisms (e.g., use of forums, welcome or explainer videos etc.)
Planning and implementing learning analytics (e.g., the inclusion of activity completion and student progress bar within subjects) to identify areas for design improvements, and actioning these accordingly to create better learning and teaching environments and experiences.
Exploring and implementing existing or emerging technologies to enhance learning and teaching practices across a range of modes (Incl. GenAI)
Redesigning lecture delivery and creating purposeful and engaging synchronous learning experiences (e.g., application of active learning strategies)
Improving one’s own digital capabilities and scaffolding the development of students’ digital capabilities. Working alongside video producers to capture video that can incorporate and connect voices and experiences of those outside the classroom (e.g., industry experts, interviews etc.).
Design learning experiences that utilise video to demonstrate visual processes and simulate experiences and practices (e.g., interactive practical lab demonstrations/orientations, on location footage that brings to life experiences outside the classroom e.g., in the workplace and industry).
Creating educator videos using the DIY video facility (e.g., introduction, summary and/or explainer videos).

"},{"id":8,"name":"Advancing Assessment and Feedback Practices","description":"

Projects can involve support for actioning the design/redesign, development, implementation and review of summative and formative assessment and feedback practices, materials and resources.

\n

Developing authentic assessments that focus on intellectually challenging ‘real-world’ practices through enquiry-based processes. (e.g., embedding the use of GenAI and relevant emerging technologies and approaches).
Exploring alternative assessment types to online examinations.
Designing opportunities for supportive, constructive and timely feedback, and strategies for facilitating student engagement with feedback.
Developing and implementing online assessment rubrics, marking guides and exploring the use of tools to assist with the development of digital marking efficiencies.
Incorporating mechanisms for gathering formative feedback from students and using this to inform and action enhancements to practice.
Planning and implementing new mechanisms for the provision of synchronous and asynchronous, formal and informal, teacher and student, online feedback for students across various modes, e.g., audio, video, forum etc.
