Tracking midwifery student course participation

WHEN: 1.00PM, MONDAY 1 APRIL 2019
WHERE: ONLINE

Our April presentation is by Kimberly Smith,  School of Midwifery Lecturer:

Can student analytics be used to improve successful outcomes?  Tracking student course participation via Moodle, kuraCloud & Adobe Connect.

"This talk is going to outline what I have put in place in the Bioscience courses in Midwifery around collecting ‘data’ regarding student participation/use of learning resources within the courses to inform conversations with students who may struggle and/or who perform poorly in course assessments.  And additionally to see if there appears to be any correlation between student participation data and course outcomes which could form the foundation for further research to identify how these data could be used to improve student course outcomes."

Kimberly Smith has been teaching Bioscience courses across multiple health programs at OP since 2009 and has lead curriculum development of Bioscience courses in Midwifery, Nursing and Beauty Therapy, including the development of appropriate course aims & outcomes, development of course learning material within the online Lt kuraCloud platform, development of assessment strategies and assessment questions and the development of beneficial and interactive classroom lessons, both online and face-face. 

The School of Midwifery seminar series are held on-line via Adobe Connect roughly once per month on a Monday at 1pm.
