One of the frustrating things I found in teaching online last semester was the lack of direct contact with students. The class felt impersonal, despite my efforts to give it life. I found that especially frustrating when I graded assignments. The feedback seemed cold and distant, even as I as I tried to point out strong areas of writing and multimedia projects.

I found that especially frustrating when I graded assignments. The feedback seemed cold and distant, even as I as I tried to point out strong areas of writing and multimedia projects. I overcame this in part by using my iPad to add audio comments to grading. This was a revelation to me. Using an app called iAnnotate, I could write comments on PDFs but also add voice comments, allowing me to make grading more personal but also add details that I otherwise wouldn’t have included.

Apple has added in some controls to Guided Access that lets teachers turn off the ability to use Safari to look up answers while taking a test. In fact, you can disable and enable all sorts of custom controls. You can use ‘Single App Mode’ where a student can ONLY use the app that’s delivering the test.

Initiatives seek to give students permanent online records for skills they have developed that they could then use when applying to college or for jobs.
KF: The badges approach is especially suited to more open education strategies and begins to recognise that there are sytill areas that do no require formal accreditation. I suspect the approach has a long way to go before mainstream adoption and will need to address some questions around "assurance of learning" if it is to be picked up more ubiquitiously. I can see there being a system whereby even your employer can award badges that help you map your learning from experience and training.
