How to Bridge the Learning Gap Caused by the Pandemic?
Analysing the huge learning gap cause by School Closures and Lost Instructional Time during the pandemic and what it means for the EdTech industry.
Content Development For K-12 | Purpose, Best Practices and More
Content Development for online learning platforms k-12 collectively refers to all study materials, assessments, question banks, and test prep from grades K to 12. Since the world is shifting from in-person learning to e-learning, online content development has become an integral and salient requirement for student learning and development. Having said that, it is imperative […]
Content Creation for STEM Subjects to Enhance STEM Learning
Content Creation for STEM subjects is lately gaining a lot of steam because of the shift in focus towards the learning and teaching of the multidisciplinary subjects- Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). In a contemporary post pandemic world, where the world is moving largely towards virtual learning and training, there is a rapid demand […]
Curriculum Development and Its Importance for the Educators
Curriculum development and management facilitate the optimal utilization of the available resources by the educators.
Adaptive Learning in The Classroom
Implementing Adaptive Learning As mentioned in our previous article, Adaptive Learning systems provide personalized learning experience for students by first adjusting to their learning styles and paces. Following this, instructional designers perform unique course sequencing and evaluation methods. In this way, educators can secure equitable learning on a scale of 100-200 pupils per class. This […]
Teachers’ Role in Project-based Learning
The teachers’ role in Project-Based Learning is unique and pervasive. An educator’s ability to transition from the role of instructor to that of a mentor or collaborator can make or break it. As is evident from our previous blog – Project-Based Learning Tools, PBL, if done well, helps inculcate skills such as active learning and problem-solving in […]
Application of DOK Levels in Mathematics
In our Depth of Knowledge article, we provided an insight into the specifics of this rubric for the assessment of education-related tools. Building upon that, we created another Depth of Knowledge Questions (Science) article to provide a look into how the DOK Levels translate into practical questions. And now, to complete the translation of the […]
Depth of Knowledge Sample Questions for Science
These example Depth of Knowledge questions are listed in increasing order of difficulty. Following this pattern, you can develop your own questions based on the subject and the student’s proficiency. DOK Level – 1 Q1. Which theory has most prominently predicted the existence of the long-sought Higgs boson particle? Q2. What is the most thermodynamically stable form […]
Common Core State Standards And Its Significance
The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) are generic learning goals laid down by the California State Board, along with representatives from 48 states across the globe, all of whom were the members of the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices (NGA Center) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) at the time, […]
Depth of Knowledge (DoK)
What is Depth of Knowledge? A senior research scientist and mathematics teacher from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Norman L. Webb, conducted extensive research throughout the 1990s and developed a system for methodically analysing education-related tools and standardized assessments called the Depth of Knowledge (DOK). Originally, Webb developed Depth of Knowledge only for the field of […]
