Challenging The Status Quo. What Is Driving Change In Assessment In Higher Education?, Patricia A. Williams
eCULTURE
Assessment is an integral part of the student learning experience. It can be argued that it has the single greatest impact on student learning. Therefore it is imperative that we understand how assessment in higher education is changing, what drives these changes and how these changes affect individual teaching practice. This paper discusses assessment as a driver for change by examining the stakeholder perspectives and expectations of assessment, and equating these to potential drivers for change in student learning.

Arguably, most undergraduate education in business schools focuses on transmitting knowledge from teacher to student, the goal being for students to acquire facts, practical or technical skills and specific problem solving strategies (Cranton, 1994). Students feel comfortable with this positivistic learning situation as it is goal-directed and certified by a diploma or degree. Many of the teaching styles and the learning activities we believe enable us to 'teach effectively' are related to this transmissive paradigm of education. Adult learners, by contrast, need to know why they need to know something before undertaking to learn it. Learning becomes a process of …

Teaching Applied Psychoanalytic Concepts With Online Assisted Technologies: An Australian Case Example, Sarron Goldman
eCULTURE
The present report is a review of an Australian case example of teaching psychoanalytic concepts with online assisted technologies. It is a first attempt to address a hiatus in the extant literature.

Despite the anecdotal nature of the study, findings lend credence to the suggestion that the online medium has an enormous potential for teaching applied psychoanalysis. Specifically the cyber-classroom contributes to interactivity, situated learning, …

The First Global Google Online Marketing Challenge 2008: Perspectives Of Ecu Student Participants, Peter Ling
eCULTURE
University students enjoy experiential marketing education that involves live cases and competition projects. While empirical studies have focused on various marketing education disciplines, few have investigated live global competition projects in the integrated marketing communications discipline. This study explored the perspectives of Edith Cowan University undergraduate and postgraduate students who participated in the first global Google Online Marketing Challenge in April-May 2008 as an optional assessment in an integrated marketing communications unit, which is part of the Advertising and Public Relations majors in the School of Communications and Arts. Participation in the Challenge was analogous to Kolb’s experiential learning theory …

I Hate Marking: An Innovative Use Of Technology To Ease The Marking Day Blues, Jenny Lane, Alistair Campbell
eCULTURE
“I hate marking” reflects the feelings of many educators when faced with large piles of work to assess. This paper discusses the challenges and tensions in the assessment process, and considers ways of improving it, such as accommodating the learning styles of all stakeholders and incorporating technology. Two case studies are presented that include examples of how technology can be used in the assessment process to improve efficiency, streamline the administrative processes, and support the learning styles of students. The development of e-marking rubrics, podcasts and vodcasts are described as innovative ways to promote effective teaching and learning practices. Although …
