Peer Assessment Of Oral Presentations Using Clickers: The Student Experience, Graham Barwell, Ruth Walker

Graham Barwell

This paper reports student reactions to the use of a personal response system (clickers) to provide peer assessment. Trials were conducted in three upper level seminar classes in two different subjects in an Arts Faculty, where students were required to give individual in-class presentations as part of their assessable work.

Capitalizing On (Un)Limited Potential: Building Digital Collections With A Student Workforce, Erin Passehl

Erin Passehl Stoddart

One way to make progress in this digital environment with a shoestring budget is by taking advantage of a student workforce.

It will also look at why video can be a useful choice to connect students with primary sources through archival instruction.
