Book of speakers
The secont Profformance+ Webinar focused on assessment of student's learning in higher education.. The speakers represented those good practices which scored well at the PROFFORMANCE Higher education teacher award. In the plenary session they presented 7-minutes summaries of examples of their practices for assessing student learning. This included:
- - Brief info about the institution and the programme in which the method has been applied;
- - Objective of the assessment that could be specifying whether the purpose of the assessment is evaluating students
- understanding, measuring progress, identifying areas of development etc.
- - Description of specific methods and tools needed for assessing learning of students when applying this practice;
- - Ideas on how the assessment practice can be transferred or adapted for teaching in other fields.
In the second part of the webinar (parallel breakout room sessions) the speakers will provide you a ’recipe’ on how you could implement their good practice of assessment.
In this way the participants could gain better insights about the applicability of the specific assessment practice, and had opportunity of engaging in a group discussion around the presented practice, its applicability and transferability, important factors to consider, mistakes to avoid while implementing the specific example of assessment, etc. The breakout rooms sessions also provided space for fostering collaboration and networking, and for sharing resources on innovative ways of assessment of students’ learning.

Forms of competence and student-oriented feedback to promote the learning success of students in the course
(Only recording)
As many other professionals in the ELT industry, Katerina Lanickova kind of “wears many hats”: She uses her background in education & teaching and the skills she acquired along the way to empower new lecturers in their role at the University of Applied Sciences in Vienna - through coaching, giving teacher training workshops and helping them with the development and design of blended learning material.
When not at university, she's exploring the field of materials writing and as a part of a team she developes elearning material that accompanies various Austrian textbooks, her task being the creation of animated explainer videos. And she teaches every now and then so she doesn’t lose the classroom connection.
