External Educational Technologies for Learning and Teaching Policy<\/span><\/h4>\n

This policy regards the use of External Educational Technologies (EETs)<\/a>. The policy recognises the tension between open, networked practice and institutional obligations around risk, and seeks not to control or inhibit the use of EETs, but rather to support mindful, appropriate choices. The policy related to the use of EETs for learning and teaching, including staff use when posting about the University.<\/p>\n

External Educational Technologies for Learning and Teaching Guidelines<\/b><\/p>\n

Accompanying the policy are related policies, documents and guidelines<\/a> which you may want to consider in relation to using EETs.<\/p>\n

About the technology itself<\/h3>\n
\n

Things to consider with any technology use:<\/b><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    What security\/privacy features are provided by the tech\/website and are they sufficient for the activity\/assignment without endangering students and their personal information?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Will the information uploaded to the tech\/site be publicly accessible or not? What are the ramifications if so\/not?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    Does the tech-based activity require higher levels of broadband than is required by CSU for online students?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  4. \n

    Will this tech be equitably accessible by all students enrolled in the course (any limitations for users in other countries? Mobile access?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  5. \n

    Accessible to students with vision or hearing impairment?)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  6. \n

    Does the site\/tech cost the students any money for subscription? Is it a \u201clite\u201d or \u201c30 day trial\u201d that might require students to pay in the future if they would like to continue to access the work they have posted there or access more\/better site features?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  7. \n

    What information does the site glean from users and is that worth the usefulness of the tech\/app provided?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  8. \n

    Have you carefully read the terms of subscription\/use of the external tech and deem it appropriate for educational use?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Earning recognition\u00a0can be\u00a0a powerful motivator, and the Achievements tool in Interact2 provides opportunities for faculty to recognise student accomplishment throughout\u00a0their courses\/subjects.\u00a0With Achievements,\u00a0faculty can use certificates and open badges<\/a> to motivate students to excel and to provide a map of their learning that is more\u00a0detailed than\u00a0a grade. Plus, these certificates and open badges can\u00a0go with students when they leave the university, helping them to communicate their professional identity and reputation\u00a0to help\u00a0open job and education opportunities.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    Faculty can designate criteria for issuing badges and certificates for course completion or milestones, and then view who has earned each badge. Badges can be awarded for any notable course accomplishment, such as mastering a skill, completing a project, or\u00a0demonstrating collaboration or leadership.<\/p>\n

    \"Image\"<\/p>\n

    Students can see which rewards they’ve earned and what is required of them to receive additional rewards, providing insight into learning progression toward defined competencies. Students are also able to publish badges to the Mozilla Open Badge Backpack<\/a> to\u00a0maintain evidence of their learning outside the LMS.<\/p>\n
