UVLe LTI Packages

From Iskomunidad

"LTI" stands for "learning tools interoperability," a standard for integrating rich learning applications for learning management systems like UVLe. To know more about tools that can be incorporated into UVLe, please see this catalog.

The LTI packages discussed in this page are already available on UVLe.

ChemVantage


The ChemVantage package provides resources that include online textbooks, video lectures, and class activities like homework exercises, quizzes and practice exams for General Chemistry. Here's its demo page on UVLe for students. If you want a teacher demo account, please contact our Helpdesk.


There are several topics to choose from:

Available video lecture topics:


Quizzes

Using this LTI package, it allows UVLe and ChemVantage to communicate with each other, meaning, the quizzes taken by the students on this tool will be added to their UVLe course gradebook automatically. Currently, it is populated with more than 2000 questions. Each quiz consists of 10 questions drawn at random from its own question bank.

Score passed to course gradebook

The students can have unlimited attempts on a particular quiz, and the highest score among the quiz attempts would be recorded on the course gradebook, as the student's final grade.

Video Lectures

It offers a series of 10-minute video lectures on a variety of General Chemistry topics that are listed on this page.

WebPA



WebPA (short for "web-based peer assessment") is an online automated tool that facilitates peer moderated marking of group work. Students carry out a group task set by the academic tutor and follow this by an assessment on the performance of the group. A ‘weighting factor’ is generated for each individual group member which is derived from each student’s input against defined criteria. Based on the total mark given to the group task, assessed and allocated by the academic tutor in the usual way, the weighting factor is then used to moderate marks providing an individual mark for each student.

A well criticism of assessed group work is that each student recieves the same team mark, regardless of individual performance. By using WebPA to peer assess group work, each student recieved an adjusted mark.

Scales

WebPA have two different ways that your student can score each other.

  • Likert scale


The standard WebPA scoring. Students rate each other against a small likert scale, typically 1-5 or 1-10, by simply clicking the appropriate radio button.

  • Split 100


Students must split 100 marks between their teammates for each criterion, with each score being entered manually into the appropriate box. The score for each criterion must total 100, so students using this method will be made more aware of the effects of their peer assessment scores, as giving more marks to one team mate means another must get less.

Noteflight

Noteflight is a music composition and instruction tool.


For now this is a demo version; meaning, exercises cannot yet be saved. If we have enough users for this functionality, we may convert it to a full-fledged version.
