Best Practices for Supporting Teaching and Learning Online

(繁體中文)

With online learning now being implemented at the University of Macau, committed teachers are holding classes online with UMMoodle and Zoom. This blog post features some of our colleagues’ tips and best practices. Let’s see what has worked well to support teaching and learning of different disciplines in an online environment.


Talking Points from an Online Faculty Meet-up & Training on Academic Integrity of Online Exams and How to Build Quizzes

By Christopher Fulton (CTLE)

In an online meet-up on 30 March, which was facilitated by Prof. Garry Wong, colleagues shared their experience, concerns, questions, and best practices on online exams and quizzes. In this blog post, a few main talking points will be highlighted.
“How can we ensure academic integrity?”

A three-pronged strategy to promoting academic integrity has been used by Prof. Garry Wong. Academic integrity can be promoted by building assessment tools that ensure honesty and build trust.
One point which was discussed relates to the use of video conferencing during online exams. A wide variety of viewpoints were exchanged, and no consensus emerged on how or if Zoom could be used to monitor or proctor online exams. However, teachers with small classes could consider scheduling video conferences for one-to-one oral assessments.

In the training portion of this meet-up, I presented ways to build online quizzes for exams. Here are a few settings for quizzes in UMMoodle which can be enabled to help reduce opportunities for cheating:
.

Creating quiz questions can be time-consuming. An alternative way to create questions quickly is to write the questions in a text file and import those into a question bank. Examples of questions and answers in a GIFT format are below (.txt file, encoded in UTF-8, double carriage return separating questions).

// true/false
::Q2:: I have created quizzes in UMMoodle {T}


// multiple choice
::Q3:: When will the exam period start this year? { =20 May ~20 April ~2 June }


// fill-in-the-blank
::Q4:: Two plus {=two =2} equals four.

One point that was raised was that students may not be familiar with quizzes in UMMoodle, and it is important to prepare students for an online exam by having the students first complete a trial quiz. After students complete a trial quiz in UMMoodle, teachers should be prepared to provide their students with additional guidance on how to successfully complete an online exam.

The date of our next scheduled meet-up is on our website. Join the conversation.
