Formative digital testing

For learning materials that are primarily acquired through repeated practice, you can use formative practice tests with feedback. Students can practise by completing as many tests as they wish. Depending on the testing system used, these tests can also be adaptive. In an adaptive test, every new session consists of questions selected on the basis of the student’s previous performance. If you have any questions about formative testing, please contact your ICT and Education coordinator.

Web lectures and knowledge clips

A web lecture is a recording of a presentation, lecture or workshop that can be viewed online. The recording is automatically linked to the accompanying PowerPoint or Prezi presentation. Students can use a web lecture to catch up on missed lectures or review difficult topics for an examination.

Instead of recording an entire lecture, you can also create a knowledge clip. A knowledge clip is a video recording of a lecturer discussing a specific topic in maximum 10 minutes.

If you need help or if you have any questions about recording web lectures or knowledge clips, please contact your video coordinator.

Interactive videos

There are various options for creating an interactive video, including apps that allow you to record your own screen. You can enrich your presentation by inserting images, videos or written texts and manually adding notes.

There are also tools for video editing, with which you can shorten your videos or include audio comments or questions. These tools mean  you can use videos as listening exercises or explanatory videos. 

You can also use a screencast tool such as Screen-o-matic to record your own screen and all the actions you perform (a screencast). You can for instance make a screencast of your PowerPoint presentation. By inserting audio, video or comments, you can turn your screencast into a knowledge clip.

If you need help or if you have any questions about recording interactive videos, please contact your ICT and Education coordinator.

Animations

Animations can help students to better understand and memorise materials. There are tools available that allow you to easily create animations even if you have no background in graphic design. If you need help or if you have any questions about how to create animations, please contact your ICT and Education coordinator.
