| Summary: | Final report from a project that showed lecturers how to use standard LMS software to deliver high-order content and simultaneously to conduct assessment. Already piloted successfully in first-year and fifth-year subjects, this method for conducting assessment-as-learning deserves to be shared. The computer simulates the excitement of a conversation, where interpretation of views and decisions follow upon one another in a stimulating sequence. Because of its likeness to a tutorial discussion, the authors have called this new paradigm 'conversation sim' or conversation simulator. It uses multiple-choice software but avoids the pitfalls of the shallow and sometimes fallacious learning that multiple-choice questions encourage. This project (a) thoroughly tests the conversation sims that have already built, (b) yields a comprehensive manual for how other academics can construct their own conversation sims and (c) provides pilot development of new conversation sims by appointed champions who have hitherto had no similar experience with their LMS. |
