Hi Derek et al,

I will just say that when our curriculum designers helped me set this up during COVID lockdown, they didn’t express any concerns. 

You could do them as anonymous links and ask for some sort of code or other way to connect the responses to the students.

 

I still have to enter the grades into the LMS, although I think there is also a way of getting that to work automatically.  My classes aren’t huge, and I adjust the scores to fit my overall grading scheme.   It works pretty well.  Systems like InteDashboard and LAMS are a bit nicer, in that they show wrong answers previously attempted on the tRAT.  I think there is also a way of doing this in Qualtrics, but I haven’t really tried to figure it out.  The way I can think of doing it was way too much work. 

I hope this helps!

I am more than happy to talk about it further.  I am also wondering about joining a group wanting to research point-spreading/confidence-based testing.  Anyone interested?

 

Best,

Neal

Hi Jen, Richard, and all,

 

I’ve been pretty successful using the “Interactive with Multiple Tries” feature in the Moodle quiz activity for tRATs. I’m curious if others have used that. That’s not helpful though if you are in D2L/Brightspace. A workaround I was thinking about for a tRAT in D2L is to use multiple attempts of the entire quiz and then each attempt gets marked on a declining scale. When teams go through their second attempt, they would just skip the questions they had already answered correctly and only answer the ones they had gotten wrong. That’s a bit complicated though from a grading perspective.

 

I am very curious, Richard, about your experience with Qualtrics! I like the idea of confidence-based responses in the iRAT. We have a Qualtrics license here and that might be an interesting alternative to one of the various TBL platforms out there. I am curious about the data privacy implications though and how you manage that since it’s not a tool that’s been vetted for teaching/learning use. We don’t have enough instructors doing TBL yet to justify purchasing something like InteDashboard.

 

Take care,

 

Derek
