AIATSIS map of Indigenous Australia

I developed an interactive to display the AIATSIS map of Indigenous Australia for Monash Online's ITO5205 Data in society Indigenous Data Soverignty module.

The map makes use of the Easy Zoom platform for exploring large images in detail.

I redeveloped the same content for QUT You's QUT002 Walking on Country unit.

Oh you absolute legend - this is fabulous.
This is exactly what I wanted the students to be able to do.
Thank you!!!!

VoiceThread

In collaboration with my Monash Online colleagues, I developed procedures for the use of VoiceThread through the trial of the platform in ITO5205. 

This work involved introducing the video discussion platform to students, academics and teachers, and encouraging them to engage in discussions. 

In the case of ITO5205: Data in society, this was about the use of personal data in the health industry.

Poll everywhere

I introduced the Poll Everywhere platform to the Monash Online learning design team and developed its usage in many different units.

For ITO5205 Data in society, I developed a unique usage where students's poll responses are captured in one part of the module, and then reviewed much later, after students have encountered the learning materials.

The Everyday surveillance – China's social credit system case study, asked students to record their preconceptions about China's social credit system at the beginning of the case study. Later students are asked to reflect upon their earlier prevconceptions after they ahve engaged with the intervening the myth-dispelling learning content.

Assessment scaffolding for ITO5205 Data in society

I led the learning design team in converting Monash's capstone ITO5205 from an on-campus delivery to online delivery for Monash Online.

The unit requires students to undertake assessments which are atypical in ITO units so, just as in the on-campus delivery, a lot of scaffolding was required to help students make the academic adjustment.

I developed the Grade Booster structure throughout the unit. Each Assessment Booster was a weekly deep dive into the assessment requirements for that week, giving students guided detail on the week's assessment requirements, including an analysis of the grading criteria.

ITO5205 was a good example of tying authentic assessment to the learning materials and a co-design approach with Monash academics and teaching staff to develop authentic assessment approaches.

it is looking good - many thanks for everyone's hard work.

Another assessment scaffolding structure I developed for this unit was the Research Resource block. Blocks appeared throughout the unit's learning materials. Each block highlighted a resource which students may opt to use for their final Ethical design report assessment

 

Pass-rate data indicated that the scaffolding structures in place in the unit were effective in allowing students to successfully tackle the unfamiliar assessment types.
