Introductions
• Name• Role• Interest in /experience of the oral presentation of
posters• Any concerns?
![Page 3: Oral Presentation of Posters 25 November 2010 Rosalind Duhs Centre for the Advancement of Learning and Teaching (CALT)](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/5515da30550346cf6f8b4a30/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Session intended learning outcomes
After the session, participants are expected to be able to do some/all of the following:
• decide if oral presentations of posters could be integrated into their assessment diets
• plan the use of oral presentations of posters to promote student learning in their discipline.
![Page 4: Oral Presentation of Posters 25 November 2010 Rosalind Duhs Centre for the Advancement of Learning and Teaching (CALT)](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/5515da30550346cf6f8b4a30/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• Summative assessment counts towards final results in relation to learning outcomes
• Formative assessment does not count towards final course grades, but measures progress and provides students with valuable feedback
• Summative assessment should also be formative
Summative and Formative assessment

Session outcome 1
• Decide if oral presentations of posters could be integrated into their assessment diets– Rationale for diversifying assessment methods:
Why do it?– Cases of oral presentation of posters
How do you do it?
![Page 6: Oral Presentation of Posters 25 November 2010 Rosalind Duhs Centre for the Advancement of Learning and Teaching (CALT)](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/5515da30550346cf6f8b4a30/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Rationale
![Page 7: Oral Presentation of Posters 25 November 2010 Rosalind Duhs Centre for the Advancement of Learning and Teaching (CALT)](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/5515da30550346cf6f8b4a30/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Diversity enables more students to excel (UCL example)
’Global problems in performed literature’
’The variety of assessment formats (a jointly authored essay, an individually authored essay, a group performance and a group presentation) gives each student an opportunity to excel.’
![Page 8: Oral Presentation of Posters 25 November 2010 Rosalind Duhs Centre for the Advancement of Learning and Teaching (CALT)](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/5515da30550346cf6f8b4a30/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The lecture/formal exam tradition
• Write lecture notes• Learn them strategically at the end of the course
for exams
![Page 9: Oral Presentation of Posters 25 November 2010 Rosalind Duhs Centre for the Advancement of Learning and Teaching (CALT)](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/5515da30550346cf6f8b4a30/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Embedding assessment in the student learning process: ‘backwash’
Assessment shapes learning
![Page 10: Oral Presentation of Posters 25 November 2010 Rosalind Duhs Centre for the Advancement of Learning and Teaching (CALT)](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/5515da30550346cf6f8b4a30/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Luke (Human Sciences)This is the last term now, and it's exams o'clock! I have eight
of them to endure over the coming month, including four in a row one week. The Easter holiday was really relaxed - I didn't do any revision and just caught up with friends and family.
What do you think of this form of summative assessment?What sort of learning do you think this type of assessment leads to?Which skills are being tested?

Strategic compliance
Surface approaches to learning
Focus on accreditation/qualification
“Will this be in the exam?”
Extrinsic motivation
![Page 12: Oral Presentation of Posters 25 November 2010 Rosalind Duhs Centre for the Advancement of Learning and Teaching (CALT)](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/5515da30550346cf6f8b4a30/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Intrinsic motivation- a genuine interest in the subject
• How can it be achieved?
![Page 13: Oral Presentation of Posters 25 November 2010 Rosalind Duhs Centre for the Advancement of Learning and Teaching (CALT)](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/5515da30550346cf6f8b4a30/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
’Graduateness’ in context: knowing where you’re going, understanding the relevance of learning
![Page 14: Oral Presentation of Posters 25 November 2010 Rosalind Duhs Centre for the Advancement of Learning and Teaching (CALT)](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/5515da30550346cf6f8b4a30/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Why change learning and assessment? (1)
The certainties of recognised bodies of knowledge have been swept away by the uncertainties of the postmodern world (based on Scott, 1995)
An unpredictable globalised world
Fast change
Cultural diversity
![Page 15: Oral Presentation of Posters 25 November 2010 Rosalind Duhs Centre for the Advancement of Learning and Teaching (CALT)](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/5515da30550346cf6f8b4a30/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Why change learning and assessment? (2)
Graduates/adult learners need wide-ranging skills:
higher order learning – analysis, critique
skills communication
teamworking
professional expertise
functioning knowledge
![Page 16: Oral Presentation of Posters 25 November 2010 Rosalind Duhs Centre for the Advancement of Learning and Teaching (CALT)](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/5515da30550346cf6f8b4a30/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Alverno: Assessment-as-learning must• Judge performance in contexts related to life
roles• Include explicitness of expected outcomes,
public criteria and student self assessment• Include multiplicity and be cumulative and
expansive• Include feedback and external perspectives as
well as performance• Be multiple in mode and context
(Mentkowski and Associates, 2000)

Innovative assessment methods – authentic assessment
• Poster presentations with peer review and the defence of content (biology)
‘Dedicated field courses result in a mixture of written work and oral/poster presentations. The final year research project is assessed by a project report plus an oral presentation.’

Oral presentation of posters: How do you do it?
![Page 21: Oral Presentation of Posters 25 November 2010 Rosalind Duhs Centre for the Advancement of Learning and Teaching (CALT)](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/5515da30550346cf6f8b4a30/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Case: authentic example (Life sciences)
These poster presentations are good for the students’ development as they have to use these skills for defending their projects and [these] will also be used once the students have graduated. It is a very important part of the course and should remain as part of it.

![Page 22: Oral Presentation of Posters 25 November 2010 Rosalind Duhs Centre for the Advancement of Learning and Teaching (CALT)](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/5515da30550346cf6f8b4a30/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Case: authentic example (Life sciences)
• Posters – Group work: The group dynamics were not great. There were members of the group who did not pull their weight, so communication was slightly stressful... Allowing the students to choose their own groups would be a disadvantage to the students. ... It was good that the medics and the science students were jumbled up.

BRAINSTORM suggestions for solving this problem.
![Page 23: Oral Presentation of Posters 25 November 2010 Rosalind Duhs Centre for the Advancement of Learning and Teaching (CALT)](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/5515da30550346cf6f8b4a30/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Another problem to solve
• The poster presentations did not meet the expectations of the students and they did not feel that they learnt any specific skills from doing the poster.
• Workshops for the design and presentation of posters will be organised next term.
(ibid)

Group preparation of posters
• Teachers select groups of around 5 students• Make groups diverse (level, personality, discipline
where relevant)• Ensure that each member of the group knows
their role (project manager, secretary, meeting convenor, poster designer, etc)
• Remind students that this is a work-like scenario• Require them to self- and peer assess their
contribution to the group project against agreed criteria.
![Page 25: Oral Presentation of Posters 25 November 2010 Rosalind Duhs Centre for the Advancement of Learning and Teaching (CALT)](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/5515da30550346cf6f8b4a30/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Preparing the posters: show examples of posters in your discipline(eg links on Moodle)
• Use UCL advice on preparing academic postershttp://www.ucl.ac.uk/mediares/downloads/poster_printing.pdf
OR find subject-related advice• See
http://www.ucl.ac.uk/lifesciences-faculty/degree-programmes/msc-surgical-science/practiceofsciencetimetable2008.pdf
for an example of preparationAND http://prs.heacademy.ac.uk/view.html/PrsDiscourseArticles/125

Steps to take (from Life Sciences)
• Poster exercise – preparing posters using power point
• Abstract writing – précis background, highlight key results, use a catchy title
• How to plan, structure and deliver a research talkhttp://www.ucl.ac.uk/lifesciences-faculty/degree-programmes/msc-
surgical-science/practiceofsciencetimetable2008.pdf
![Page 27: Oral Presentation of Posters 25 November 2010 Rosalind Duhs Centre for the Advancement of Learning and Teaching (CALT)](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/5515da30550346cf6f8b4a30/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Oral presentation of posters
• Make it festive but serious (vernissage).• Help students to appreciate that they have
achieved something.• Prepare feedback forms for peer feedback, with
space for suggestions for modifications AND space for detailing what went well.
• Include both content and quality of presentation.• Students can find it challenging to judge content
so get experts in to comment too.

Session outcome 2
• Plan the use of oral presentations of posters to promote student learning in their discipline.
![Page 29: Oral Presentation of Posters 25 November 2010 Rosalind Duhs Centre for the Advancement of Learning and Teaching (CALT)](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/5515da30550346cf6f8b4a30/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
5 minute planning exercise
• Look at the resource on the oral presentation of posters
• Could you integrate one of these innovative forms of assessment into your assessment regime?
• How would students and colleagues react?
![Page 30: Oral Presentation of Posters 25 November 2010 Rosalind Duhs Centre for the Advancement of Learning and Teaching (CALT)](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/5515da30550346cf6f8b4a30/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Conclusion
For group-based projects which end in the production of posters and their presentation you need:
1. Clear learning outcomes, including knowledge and skills
2. Resources for students so they learn poster production and presentation skills
3. Agreed groups and group tasks
4. Agreed and published grading criteria including knowledge and skills
