Testing as TeachingUsing Randomized, Online Retrieval Practice to Promote Learning
Who needs this?
This seminar is of interest to those who have never used a learning management system as well as seasoned LMS experts.
In a nutshell
This session explores the use of Respondus and your LMS (learning managment system) to produce randomized online tests that operate as self-contained learning activities.
Data on student attitudes toward randomized testing as a learning method and data on effects on student performance also are explored.
This is an updated & re-recorded version of the invited conference paper Testing as Teaching Co-Medical Anatomy: A Practical View (Anatomical Science International 79 p. 188) presented at the 16th International Conference of the IFAA (Kyoto, Japan) in 2002.
