Research output: Book chapter/Published conference paper › Conference paper › peer-review

Abstract

The aim of this project is to research, develop and evaluate a set of tools that can be used in tertiary subjects to formatively scaffold the skill base of students. The SkillBox instrument uses text, video and quizzes to deliver learning materials and formative assessment to students on a specific topic within a discipline area. A pilot project evaluated the use of a Matrix SkillBox in a Charles Sturt University (CSU) Distance Education (DE) subject and found its use appeared to increase knowledge and confidence in the topic areas covered. These findings will be further investigated in ongoing research involving larger numbers of students.
