Teaching Online at UTAS

Here are some Student Engagement Activities that you could consider incorporating into your unit.

• Students successfully complete the College of Arts and Law’s Academic Integrity Module (AIM) with a score of 90% or more.
  The AIM Academic Integrity Module is made available to first year students. You will still need to record student engagement data directly into a Grade Item column in the Grades tool. Further information is available here.
• Students complete a Quiz in your unit’s MyLO site.
  An advantage of Quizzes is that engagement can be automatically recorded into a Grade Item column in the Grades tool.There are three types of Quizzes you could use:
  • A practice Quiz. This Quiz, developed by BLU, contains a sequence of questions of different types so that students can practice using the Quiz This is recommended for units where Quizzes are used for formative feedback or assessment. Question types not used in your unit Quizzes can be removed from this Quiz.
  • An Academic Integrity Quiz. This Quiz, developed by BLU, prompts students to check their understanding of academic integrity. Note that this Quiz does not address types of referencing.
  • A Quiz that you design specifically for your unit. This could be an assessable Quiz, a Quiz developed to provide students with formative feedback, or even a Quiz designed to check student understanding of key elements of your Unit Outline!
• Students participate in a face-to-face class or online discussion.
  In this case, you record student engagement directly into Grade Item column in the Grades tool.
• Students access a particular item in MyLO Content.
  An item is a link accessed via the Content tool in MyLO. Students ‘view’ the item by clicking on it or marking it as complete (depending on the completion method applied to the item). You record student engagement directly into a Grade Item column in the Grades tool. As the Unit Outline can be accessed from two locations (Content and the unit Home screen), access to it cannot be reliably tracked. Therefore, the Unit Outline cannot be used as your chosen item.
• Students add themselves to a Group Category/Categories.
  Students enrol in a Group in at least one of the Group Categories that you have specified.  You record student engagement data directly into a Grade Item column in the Grades tool.
• Students access the MyLO unit.
  This activity is based on the premise that students access your unit’s MyLO site at least once by a specific date. You record student engagement data directly into a Grade Item column in the Grades tool.
• Other.
  For example, students may complete a MyLO Survey or Checklist, or submit to an Assignment Submission Folder.
