Hi Marina,
I have used online iRATs during class to limit using the internet to search for answers. The limitation I ran into was bandwidth issues in the particular classroom - some students would get kicked out of the iRAT when the router reached its max number of connections. That has since been addressed so no longer an issue but as a result of that experience, I still go with paper and pencil and use
QuickKey to quickly score them while the tRAT is running.
I tried using Moodle for tRATs but the IFAT cards are just much more satisfying for students.
Jim, really interesting to hear that your tRAT questions are different from iRAT questions with the tRAT questions being higher on Bloom's. I have thought about doing that as I have found it difficult to balance the reading quiz nature of the iRAT with the intent to promote discussion of the tRATs. Having different questions for the iRAT and tRAT solves that tension. I'll have to consider that solution in my own TBL classes.
Cheers
Neil
Hello,
I'm studying TBL and preparing lessons for the next semester, in which I will start with TBL in my Analytical Chemistry course (bachelor's degree in Chemistry, second year).
I'd like to ask you about your experience with i-RAT: do you use an online platform such as Moodle or a traditional piece of paper?
I have around 60 students and for this reason I could use Moodle, but I'm concerned about the possibility of cheating (are students with a phone or a PC connected to Internet tempted to give a quick glance at the possible answer or their notes?).
Thank you if someone wants to share his/her experience and suggestions on the matter.
Marina
