School of Nursing, Midwifery and Social Work Using Blogs in Summative Assessment - the Student Experience Julie Vuolo and Irene Anderson

School of Nursing, Midwifery and Social Work Background New module; mature, part-time students N=22 Assessment strategy to: – meet module learning outcomes – respect diversity of student population i.e. differing learning styles and preferences; prior HE experience – give less experienced students an opportunity to gain marks for content over style – minimise plagiarism opportunities

School of Nursing, Midwifery and Social Work What we did September 2009: set blog as part of the summative assessment strategy for a 30 credit module (20%) Evaluated the student experience by survey and focus group 8 students in total

School of Nursing, Midwifery and Social Work Survey Outcomes

School of Nursing, Midwifery and Social Work Initial Feelings apprehensive exposed scared annoyed intrusive worried self conscious terror nervous additional work expectation in-touch interested

School of Nursing, Midwifery and Social Work Themes Fear of the unknown Bravery and willingness to engage Collegiality and support Impact on learning

School of Nursing, Midwifery and Social Work Fear of the Unknown 1.technology, extra work, anxiety 2. associated with Face book; social not education 3.Didn’t realise it would be quite so easy to access terminology blog is very slang...it is a word that I’d heard and thrown out my head....I did ask my teenage daughters, what’s a blog?..

School of Nursing, Midwifery and Social Work Bravery and Willingness to Engage 1.forced to get involved, would not normally speak up but better for me having to do it 2. more personal but does push a bit more Tutor: would you change your mind about coming on the course [if knew about blog in advance]? 3...seriously consider it.. Others felt differently, prefer to know what they were facing in advance 4...different way of learning....exciting...going to do something new......once it was explained...views definitely changed...

School of Nursing, Midwifery and Social Work Collegiality and Support 1.would not have got to know people so well, challenging as not sure who was enrolled initially 2.Strategic alliance: things that you’re interested in and the ones you are going to keep up... 3.When experiencing difficulties: that you are not the only one. Psychologically it was good. Really interesting reading peoples’...what they have been doing. 4.Tutor support -. very worthwhile having comments from the tutor..reassured..right lines...

School of Nursing, Midwifery and Social Work Impact on Learning 1.motivation, plagiarism avoidance 2. support, different way of learning 3.focusing and pushing, organised more prepared to do the work, probably would have left it....made me work better towards the assignment.....makes you more aware of what you’ve got to do.....not sure how much I learnt [from others]...great for sort of focusing..choosing your topic...getting the ball rolling.
