Something to think about in terms of assessment in digital learning environments. 🤔

[EDUC307 Prof @ProfMaratta]

Timely. Ethical considerations when using technology https://t.co/43PGKIjgUv

Many studies demonstrate that cheating has more to do with the individual than the format (online/on-campus) 1/4

Do Online Exams Facilitate Cheating? https://t.co/DPuCGiGWvp

"...the difference in the testing environment creates a disadvantage to students taking the online exam which somewhat offsets the advantage that the unproctored students gain from greater opportunities to cheat."

“Ethical” cheating in formal education" https://t.co/MRcrPoTczy
"Type I cheating is considered in the context of obsolete educational delivery systems...
Type II cheating (...ethical cheating) ...in the context of digital‐era learning that involves open‐source collaboration..."

A multi-institutional investigation into cheating on tests in college online courses. https://t.co/3jkPt496a0

"A cheater is a cheater is a cheater. The mode of instruction is irrelevant as to whether students cheat."

@CklingEduc307 EDUC307 currently has 356 students enrolled in the course :) 320 students completed the final exam survey.

[EDUC307 Prof @ProfMaratta]

Dark side of online proctoring. Add time zones, technology issues, and the new platform being implemented for all online finals. I'm glad majority of students voted no. If you have a final, do everything to prepare technology-wise. Prep your tech and get informed before-hand.

Great self-assessment tool from Health Canada if you have cold symptoms and wondering if you should get tested or just self-isolate. ❤️

@SebastianDufou2 @alosacco307 Why not retweet it as #FalseNews ?

[EDUC307 Prof @ProfMaratta]

@DailegLaica @ElodieBerger6 Try music and headphones 🎶 That usually works for me.

[EDUC307 Prof @ProfMaratta]

#Lesson7 wouldn't it make situations like what we are living now go much smoother if all faculty were already up -to-speed and using ICT in their courses?

[EYV @EDUC307EYV]

The #lesson7 reading mentions that it is important to invest in ICT infrastructure in schools and staff training. I feel that while this paper was written by a professor from Concordia it is still not being implemented.

[EDUC307 Prof @ProfMaratta]

a thousand words couldn't do this... 🙂and yes the typo is trending... lol

No explanations needed.. #SocialDistanacing

[EDUC307 Prof @ProfMaratta]

@HamamiAmal @HamamiAmal That's a great idea! With a large class like this one it might be hard to manage though🤔... How would you propose setting it up? And around what topic(s)?

Some comic relief: current teaching humour https://t.co/C0nmdPg1iJ

[EDUC307 Prof @ProfMaratta]

Good question Ilya! Some students need to go to the library to access internet/computer. Some students want to go back home. Some may have kids/parents to take care of. TAs and teachers too. Everyone's affected in some way. The U also needs time adapt their resources, e.g. finals

[Ilya @IMironovv]

@armelacelaj1 @HamamiAmal @ProfMaratta Yeah I don't really understand what the email means and why online courses would be canceled when postponing assessments hurts the students and #COVID19 doesn't have much to do with online classes. Unless it's giving those affected some time to recover/readjust which I understand

[EDUC307 Prof @ProfMaratta]

I'd be very surprised if they did have exams on-campus. And you're right - other priorities are more important right now.

[EDUC307 Prof @ProfMaratta]

I hope everyone is doing okay🙂 I can't help myself... but given this class: Do you think we can leverage social media to help in some way?

[EDUC307 Prof @ProfMaratta]

@BrandonDare4 That's a good question. I'm not sure what Concordia is planning. I would assume the same, but Faculty haven't received information about it.
