23 August 2012: Assessment and the Manifesto for Teaching Online
Presenter: Clara O'Shea (University of Edinburgh, UK)
Hosted by Professor Geoff Crisp, RMIT University and Dr Mathew Hillier, University of Queensland, Australia starting 07:00AM UST/GMT. Duration 1 hour, 24 minutes.
Manifesto for Teaching Online is in part a reaction to problematic assumptions that seem to structure a lot of what is developed and promoted as e-learning and as a way of promoting a positive and forward looking, yet realistic vision for e-learning.
This session focused on what the Manifesto has to say in regard to the assessment side of online teaching and learning. The audience was strongly encouraged to engage and contribute their views to the conversation.

Blackboard Collaborate/Elluminate v11 archive version
This uses the classroom system itself to re-play a recording of the event. It provides a higher level of interactivity than the video versions (see below), almost as if you were attending a live event. You are also able to jump forward, back and pause the recording.
