Greetings, 

The Learning Extension Trajectories (LxTs) provided with each module undoubtedly add value to the learning objectives. Here are some reasons why I find these LxTs useful and necessary:
1. Self-directed learning: In LxTs 3.1 and 3.2, I discovered multiple tools that I could effortlessly integrate into my classes. What was particularly interesting is that I took the initiative to research certain tools further, such as Gimlet and Poll Everywhere. This experience provided me with an overview of different tools with similar functions but different features, assisting me in making informed choices when using these tools in my class.

2. Contextualization and real-world relevance: All the LxTs presented to us as part of learning modules help provide context to learning by aligning it with the real world, thus taking a pragmatic approach. For example, LxT 2.1a provided me with the context in which the videos would be created, ensuring logical progression in the process and steps.

To summarise, LxTs foster self-directed learning while being contextualized with real-world relevance, thereby helping learners verify the applicability of the learnings from LbDs and LeDs.

Thank you.

Hello,

Week 3 contents are truly filled with many new areas (being unexplored so far).  Importance of Formative assessment is very well narrated vide LeDs.  

Formative Assessment Strategies LxT 3.1a provided valued inputs as also mentioned by @sastri Osks.  The tools like Flubaroo and Socrative Teacher are really good in terms of their inherent nature to assess the learners understanding.  I am undertaking sessions for bankers on virtual platform.  Today I tried one test on Socrative Teacher application with "Space Race" option and was provided learners with limited time of access.  The results are amazing.  I could get responses from learners as well.  It works.  I recall the interactive presentation software of Mentimeter which also has unique features of registering results for understanding of the learners.  (though it may not be feasible for MOOC)

LxT 3.1b was absolutely difficult to understand.  I couldn't understand this LxT even after going thru it twice.

Dear Anthony,

Thank you for that very coherent response. Can you share some examples of tools you've used in the Foreign Language Classroom, and their effectiveness? I'm sure this would be beneficial to all.

Thanks and regards,

[Anthony Gomes]

Dear Jeanette,

One of the tools that I have used in the past is "Padlet". It helped me to have the learners collaborate on a single topic and thereby have a collective output. 

Regards,

Anthony GOMES

[Jeanette Camilla Barbosa Noronha]

Dear Shruti,

Happy to hear that Socrative Teacher worked well for you! Hope you're able to utilize the other tools mentioned as well.
LxT 3.1b is about the Revised Bloom's Taxonomy; if you could highlight which part of this was tough to grasp, we'd be happy to help. Do let us know.

Best regards,

Jeanette,

Dear all,

I found LxT 3.2a: Technology Tools for Formative Assessment" as the most useful as it serves as a one-stop resource for educators' formative assessment needs, offering a comprehensive list of technology tools categorized by functionality. This resource streamlines the process of integrating technology into assessment practices, providing educators with practical solutions to enhance teaching and learning experiences.

Based on the feedback from my peers regarding LxT 3.2a, it seems that we all recognize its value in providing a diverse range of digital tools for formative assessment. Anthony Gomes highlighted the importance of LxTs in fostering self-directed learning and contextualizing content with real-world relevance. He found LxTs particularly beneficial for discovering and exploring different tools, enabling him to make informed choices for his classes. Similarly, Sastri OSKS appreciated the variety of tools presented in LxT 3.2a, emphasizing its usefulness for creating excellent formative assessments within MOOCs.

In contrast, while I also found LxT 3.2a valuable for its comprehensive list of categorized tools, my focus was more on how it streamlines the process of integrating technology into assessment practices, thereby enhancing teaching and learning experiences.

To further enrich our learning experiences, we could collaborate to identify additional LxTs that cater to various learner needs. By pooling our insights and experiences, we can create a curated list of LxTs that address different learning styles, preferences, and objectives.

I found both 54 formative assessment strategies and 75 digital tools and apps are most useful for doing excellent formative assessments in this MOOC. Also given Revised Bloom’s taxonomy is an useful asset for framing assessment questions at different Bloom’s level.

Thanks and Regards

[kalyani Alexander]

As indicated by many others,  LxT 3.2a: Technology Tools for Formative Assessment is a very good consolidation of tools; I am using Kahoot, Mentimeter and Google forms but its exciting to know multiple other tools categorized under the usage option.  Also the revised Bllom's Taxonomy is a go to reference guide henceforth and a good repository.

[Jeanette Camilla Barbosa Noronha]

Dear Sunita,

Thanks for sharing! Which of the digital tools mentioned sparked your interest the most? How would you incorporate them in a MOOC setting? Looking forward to reading your response.

Best wishes,

[Kirti Tawsalkar]

The website that offers 75 digital tools and applications is the most helpful since it includes a wide range of resources that are well-categorized for use in developing formative assessments for our MOOCs.

[sunita shinde]

Good Afternoon All,

                             Currently I am using many many tools in my teaching learning process like Google forms, kahoot, edpuzzle but also I get inspired by Padlet.

Thank You,

[Jini Raju]

Dear all, 

The week 3 content is enriched with different tools that can be used for LbD activities.Each of these tools are unique and can be use at different contexts. In my courses, I have used quizziz for creating quizzes for evaluating the students. Edpuzzle was also tried, but not used for evaluating purpose. But, tools for active learner engagement is totally new to me and need to try it in online learning environment. The google discussion forums are used by me for discussing the topics during online classes, but now I am aware of many other platforms for discussion and collaborations. Thank you for introducing these much tools to teaching community, that will help us to improve teaching learning process. 

[Priya Dharshini]

Dear all ..

Among all the LxTs shared, I found the LxT 3.1 a- Formative assessment strategies very useful because as a Lecturer, I got ample number of ways to assess my students. In that,I found Flubaroo is quite interesting

Thanks

R.Priyadharshini

[Dr Alaknanada Shringare]

Dear All,

As already mentioned by many in the group, I found LxT 3.1a very useful as it provides insights into various forms of formative assessment strategies that can be adopted in the classroom. Additionally the LxT 3.2a is really beneficial for understanding the different tools available and their respective purposes within formative assessments. I found Word Art, Coggle and different tools for quiz and polls useful. Despite not having used many of them before, having access to all these resources in one place is immensely beneficial.

Hello all!

Greetings of the day!
The LxTs that the makers of the course are providing are indeed a great source of knowledge for the learners. Especially this week (Week 3), as mentioned by many of my peers, the LxT 3.2a (about the 75 digital tools and apps) is one of the effective resources provided for learners. I find this to be extremely effective as it exposes us to the various advancements in technology and how they can be applied in the teaching domain.

Among the numerous tools that were listed, I have already been using Kahoot and apart from that I found Buncee and PlayPosit to be useful for my teaching purpose. It aids in making the teachers aware of what the students know and also in making the teaching process interesting by providing visual representations and platforms for many creative teaching pedagogies.

Thank You !!

 

[Avinash Pandey]

Hello

I found LxT 3.1 Pedagogies of Activity Design to be useful. LxT 3.1.a. Formative Assessment Strategies contains a pdf where a large number of formative assessment strategies have been curated by David Wees. I found several strategies to be fascinating and I plan to use them as part of my classroom activity. LxT 3.1.b. is devoted to the widely known Bloom's Taxonomy. I was surprised to see that no mention of the draft of the White Paper on Assessment and Accreditation of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in India issued by NAAC has been made while discussing Bloom's Taxonomy. The draft presents a critical view of Bloom's Taxonomy. It would have been instructive to engage with the draft while attempting to understand Bloom's Taxonomy. Overall, I found LxT 3.1. to be of relevance to my teaching-learning activities.

A close second would be LxT 2.1. which discusses the dynamics of the placement of reflection points.

[Manoj Srivastava]

1.    I have to admit that the LCM Course of IITB has been so coherently sequentially designed that it itself follows Blooms revised taxonomy. It deals with LeD in 3.1 followed by How to create LbDs in 3.2. Any LbD would defeat its purpose if it is not accompanied with a appropriate Feed-back loop (as dealt in LeD 3.3 and 3.4). 

2.  LbDs are essentially Formative Assessment activity. 

3.  We must know the whole arrays of the FAs so as to chose from depending on our pedagogical goals. 

4.  A Learner Centric MOOC has to have this as a critical unmissable component. Mere content delivery would not serve the purpose. To take along the entire batch of learners with instructor, the type of FAs to be used and the type of Tools to be applied , both becomes mutually complimentary. Learners being asked for an activity and then instantly followed by an integrated feedback mechanism makes a productive loop of learning.

5.   LxTs gives us a host of handy resources in terms of Pedagogies of activity design (backed up by a huge stock 54 different forms of FAs curated by David Wees one can chose from) in LxT 3.1 followed by Technology tools for designing LbDs in LxT 3.2 (loaded with wide range of tools making the pedagogical activity inter-wooven with feed-back loop for analysis). 

6.    LxT 3.1 b is crucial since pedagogical objectives can only be achieved if we adhere to the cognitive process as explained in the revised Bloom’s Taxonomy. The LOs (Learning Objectives) help plan out our LeDs and LbDs as a continuum process of increasing cognitive complexity from one stage to another (from basic to complex in an incremental manner). Cognitive dimensions and Knowledge Dimension brings in a scientific approach to entire teaching-learning process. 

7.   I found the FAs strategies such as Doodle (students being asked to draw rather than writing), Metacognition (self-awareness vis-à-vis topic or content) , Quick nod (yes or no as virtual quick), Two Roses and a thorn (2 things liked and 1 thing not liked) as Exit Ticket, the Google Forms (first hand virtual comments about the lesson and learning).

8.    I made a dummy setting and fed data to test the functionality of the Tool Flubaroo for its possible use, I found the same very interesting in term of instant analysis and also in terms of an aptly visualized reporting including mail sharing option as an instant progress update.

9.  Thanks to the Team-LCM. Very good learning so far and the inputs from the Peer Group is bringing in more clarity. 

[Shruti Sidhaye]

Basically  Table 1, Table 2 and Bloom's revised Taxonomy, though easily communicated vide the animated video, I am not able to understand -

1. Table 1 contained Cognitive Process dimensions - i.e. layers of understanding in the pyramid and in Table 2 the knowledge dimensions are provided.  But couldn't get the meaning and its relevance at their own places.  
2. In revised taxonomy table, grid of knowledge dimensions and congnitive process dimensions are provided.  I couldn't connect the dots here as well, e.g. "Apply + Factual is combined - then respond to FAQs" why is that so?.  

How above aspects are connected and relevant as a learner / trainer, I couldn't understand.  

It would be great if you can help me to understand these aspects.

Thanks

[Kalaiselvan Anbarasan]

Dear All,

Through Week 3 module, I have learned the concept of LbD in which the different types of assessment strategies and technology tools available. the contents are quite interesting and opened up a new venues for better teaching.

Thank you

[Renuka Ozarkar]

I found parts of both the LxT 3.1. and 3.2 useful. Among them the pedagogical strategies of activity-design was quite interesting. Several strategies- though often sounding intuitive and obvious- in fact are very useful and their simplicity is their special feature. I liked how the strategies were classified into student-work, teacher-feeadback etc categories. That gives a clear idea as to who the agent is in giving and getting feedback. For instance, in some strategies the students are directly asked feedback, in others the teachers are asked to pick up clues from the students' behaviour and responses. Thus, these activities do not just serve as feedback and assessment for a learner but also a feedback about the learner's learning is given to the teachers.  

I also find an introduction to several tools offered in the LxT 3.2. useful. I am quite keen to explore those tools. So far I have used Moodle assignments, but I am interested in seeing how the video-making and white-boards can be incorporated in my classroom. 

[Pournima Dhume]

Dear Manoj, 

Thank you for beautifully penning your insights on LeD, LbD and Lxt Week 3. It was interesting to learn that you found the FA strategies such as Doodle, Metacognition, Quick Nod, Two Roses and a Thorn as Exit Ticket and Google Forms interesting. I hope you enjoyed the experience with Tool  Flubaroo as well. 

You can also try other strategies and share your experience on this forum. 

Happy learning !

Dear All, I have a doubt in my mind and want your suggestions to clear that. In LxT 3.2b, I have gone through the comparative chart of formative and summative assessment. The second point of differences in that chart arises the doubt and I want know, whether we can add summative assessment characteristics like 'start, end, cut-off date' when designing AQs after LeD, Lbd into a MOOC course? Regards. - Jyotirmoy Sengupta.

[Dr. Jyothi Sankar]

Dear All,

 

As already mentioned by many friends in this discussion, I also found LxT 3.1a very useful, as it provides a comprehensive list of functionally classified formative assessment tools which can be adopted in the classroom teaching. I am not aware of this much digital tools earlier and need to try it in online learning environment. In my classroom, I was not taken care of this Lbd part. For the assignment creation and evaluation purposes, I am very much dependent on Google forms. Now I am going to use mentimeter for getting real time feedback using mobile phones, Play Posit for engage and inspire, VoiceThread to create and share conversations on documents, diagrams and pictures, thus getting a good number of ways for assessing effective student engagement and their learning. Thus, teaching learning process would become purposeful. Moreover, understanding on Revised Bloom’s taxonomy acts as a reference in framing assessment questions at different Bloom’s level.

Dear All, Yes I have found the content in week 3 very useful. Out of 75 tools I have used Google Form (quizzes) to assess my students. Recently I have taken part one such assessment with mentimeter. I have downloaded the tool and found it very interesting. I shall use this tool in the near future, extensively. For recording, I had been using Screencast O'Meter and all other tools are unknown to me. I shall try my best to use some of them. After going through Socrativ, I think it will be impressive. Moreover, I'm impressed by the comments of Ms Shruti Sidhaye, made on Socrative. Thanks. -- Jyotirmoy Sengupta.

Dear all,

Thanks for the resources given on 75 digital tools and apps for teachers. It is more interesting and inducing me to include in my teaching plan. Even I have learnt about the concept of Bloom's taxonomy. 

Thank you for the valuable insights 

[Amritpreet Kaur]

Dear Dr Vinodhini

Thank you for sharing your insights on the Week 3 content focusing on Learning by Doing (LbD) and Learning Extension Trajectories (LxT). I'm pleased to hear that you found the material new and interesting.

The vast array of formative assessment (FA) pedagogies and tools available can indeed be overwhelming, especially when it comes to remembering the applications of each one. To simplify this from a learner's perspective, I suggest a few strategies:

1 1. Focus on Core Tools: Identify a few essential FA tools that align closely with your teaching objectives and students' needs. Mastering a smaller set of tools initially can help build confidence and competence

22. Categorize and Summarize: Organize the tools into categories based on their functionalities (e.g., quizzes, surveys, interactive presentations). Create concise summaries or cheat sheets highlighting key features and potential uses of each tool within its category.

    3. Hands on Practice: Engage in hands-on practice sessions where you actively explore and experiment with different tools. This practical approach can reinforce learning and aid in retention.

  4. Peer Collaboration: Collaborate with colleagues or fellow learners to share experiences, insights, and tips on using specific FA tools. Peer support can provide valuable perspectives and help clarify any uncertainties.

By implementing these strategies, you can streamline your learning process and gradually build proficiency in using FA tools. Remember, learning is a journey, and it's perfectly normal to encounter challenges along the way. Stay motivated, take small steps, and celebrate your progress.

Please let me know if you need further assistance or if there's anything else I can do to support you in simplifying your learning experience.

The use of Moodle for Formative assessment was found very relevant and useful. Moodle is known for it's LMS  capability but very few are aware of it's customisation of  menu or tools for various purposes. I was not aware of all types of tools and apps that can be used to support formative assessment by a teacher in the classroom.

The revised Bloom's Taxonomy  focus light on how as the  knowledge's level shifts  from the concrete to an abstract, the cognitive process shifts from low-order 

 thinking process to high-order thinking process.. 

[G Vamsi Krishna ED12B022]

Hi all,

I really liked and learned from all the LxTs given from week 1.

Both LxTs were strategically chosen - one to be concept based, and other to be more of an information or add-on based trajectory.

I was very impressed when we had two trajectories in the Week 1 - may be due to my first time experience of such in a learning module.

Out of all, I found this weeks LxTs as the most useful. 

The content related to 75 tools to create formative assessments was very informative and helpful.

Other content such as a link on Blooms taxonomy and 54 examples of formative assesment examples - were eye-opening towards the depth of Learning Design field.

Thanks,

Vamsi.

Dear  Vamsi

Thank you for your feedback! I'm glad to hear that you found the Learning Extension Trajectories (LxTs) valuable, especially the strategic selection in Week 1. The content on 75 tools for formative assessments was indeed informative, and the resources on Bloom's taxonomy and formative assessment examples provided great depth to the learning experience. Your insights are appreciated!

Do Not forget to register for the Exam. Last date is 16th Feb, 2024

Greetings to all🙏

My experience of LxT 2.1 on Video based LeD: Process and Interactivity that discussed about the video creation and tools to add interactivity was awesome. I liked the googlesite content and explored it for content curation, LeD creation and tools mentioned there. I have little experience of using H5P and Nearpod, however Playpos.it and videoant were new to my familiarity. I have a bit of experience Lumi that has H5P integrated features and really ascertain that integration of interactivities in videos helps in breaking the monotony of the lengthy videos.

Warm Regards!

Thank you Vinodhini for raising this and thanks to Amritpreet for elaboration in crisp.

Taking it forward, can the select tools be practiced as a part of this curriculum?  (if possible easily, since the fact is the course is already designed and may not be amended in this way)

If the hands on experience of any tool needs to be taken, assessment of its effective usage needs to be evaluated for better implementation.  

Request you to share any other way, if you can suggest.

Thanks

Dear Shrustiji

Assessing the effective usage of a tool requires a thoughtful approach to evaluate proficiency and understanding of its application. This could be achieved by clearly defining objectives, using rubrics, and providing summative assessments followed by performance based assessments.

Happy Learning!!

Dear All

    from the third week session  I've gained insight into the concept of Learning by Design (LbD), which explores various assessment strategies and technology tools.

[Siddu Jigajinni]

Dear Nisaji

That's awesome! We are curious to know about assessment strategy or technology tool you are using most during our exploration of Learning by Doing (LbD) in the third week? Share your thoughts, and let's make our discussions even more interesting!

Happy learning!!

I also found resource giving 75 digital tools and apps to be most useful and the Bloom taxonomy too. The exhaustive list provides various ways in which evaluation of learning can be stress free for the learner, increasing their knowledge without fear of failing. The designing of formative and summative evaluation adds a new dimension to the assessment activity from an instructor's perspective

Dear Dr.Aditi,

Thanks for your understanding. These tools definitely help you explore new assessment methods in your classrooms. We are eagerly awaiting your experiences that will motivate others. Share it with us!
