Introduction to Microeconomics (L11100 UK) (AUT 12-13)
The lectures are routinely recorded using the Echo360 facilities available in the interactive teaching rooms. This allows the students to review lectures at their convenience with the usual benefits of lecture capture. I wanted to make recordings available in Moodle in a timely way with not too much work - prior use of audio only files was helpful to students but was a fiddle to load into the VLE via updating links on a Word document.
Used the Echo360 block - very straightforward. It synchronises the Moodle module with Echo360 lecture captures and presents all recordings in a list.
Students could choose to submit to the image bank as one of their assessments: there were 130 submissions with typically 4 or 5 comments. There were posters and
Image Bank: 66% of the students who attempted it rated it as Good or Excellent
Posters: This was a popular activity with over 93% of the students who attempted it rating it as good or excellent
The database takes a little bit of time to set up initially but worked extremely well, especially combined with completion tracking. It was easy for students to submit to, easy to mark, and students were able to make comments on each others, too.
The peer assessment relied on students? interest and motivation (later submissions were less likely to be graded by peers), so for a more formal peer assessment, or higher stakes assessment, the Moodle Workshop tool would be more effective. However, facilitators were able to grade the late submissions so it worked well for us.
