Dinamika dan Transformasi Implementasi Evaluasi Pendidikan pada Masa Darurat Covid-19

The emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic on a global scale has caused major impacts on various sectors, including the education sector. In order to reduce the spread of Covid-19, many countries have implemented learning from home, distance learning or e-learning. Several online platforms that are widely used as learning media include Microsoft Teams, Google Classroom, and Canvas and Blackboard, which allow teachers to create learning development programs. These online platforms have various features including chat, video meetings and file storage that keep classes organized and easy to learn. Such change in the learning methods requires the adjustment of educational evaluation system or learning assessment towards the online tests or other forms of distance assessment. The main problem with online evaluation is that the exams are performed without the physical presence of both students and teachers As a consequence, verification of the examinees and the potential for cheating among the students have appeared as major obstacles during the online learning assessment. Another obstacle that arises in online exams is related to facilities such as hardware (laptops, androids, tablets, etc.), software as well as the stable internet connection for all students

A pedagogical framework for embedding C&IT into the curriculum

This paper proposes a methodology for effectively embedding communication and information technologies (C&IT) into the curriculum. This builds on existing frameworks for designing courses involving C&IT. A hypothetical illustration of this process is provided, and issues relating to the adoption and application of the methodology are identified

EyeSpot: leveraging gaze to protect private text content on mobile devices from shoulder surfing

As mobile devices allow access to an increasing amount of private data, using them in public can potentially leak sensitive information through shoulder surfing. This includes personal private data (e.g., in chat conversations) and business-related content (e.g., in emails). Leaking the former might infringe on users’ privacy, while leaking the latter is considered a breach of the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation as of May 2018. This creates a need for systems that protect sensitive data in public. We introduce EyeSpot, a technique that displays content through a spot that follows the user’s gaze while hiding the rest of the screen from an observer’s view through overlaid masks. We explore different configurations for EyeSpot in a user study in terms of users’ reading speed, text comprehension, and perceived workload. While our system is a proof of concept, we identify crystallized masks as a promising design candidate for further evaluation with regard to the security of the system in a shoulder surfing scenario

Faculty Excellence

Awards for Excellence in Teaching are given in each college and school, and university-wide awards recognize public service, research, teaching and engagement. This booklet details the year\u27s award winners\u27 accomplishments in short profiles with photographs and text

Design and Assessment for Hybrid Courses: Insights and Overviews

Technology is influencing education, providing new delivery and assessment models. A combination between online and traditional course, the hybrid (blended) course, may present a solution with many benefits as it provides a gradual transition towards technology enabled education. This research work provides a set of definitions for several course delivery approaches, and evaluates five years of data from a course that has been converted from traditional face-to-face delivery, to hybrid delivery. The collected experimental data proves that the revised course, in the hybrid delivery mode, is at least as good, if not better, than it previously was and it provides some benefits in terms of student retention

The difference between presence-based education and distance learning

Attempts to define distance learning always involve comparisons with presence-based education, as the latter is the most direct reference that the former has. It is on this basis that the convergent points, similarities and differences of the two types of approach are established. This article opens with such a comparison, before going on to focus mainly on distance learning and to examine methodological strategies that should be borne in mind when implementing an e-learning system
