This course is based on the Heathcote A level Computing book (PG Online) written for OCR H446.
It countains 3 SPAs, which encourage students to really understand and evaluate a topic. To run an SPA in the classroom:
Assign as normal.
When students are ready, click the Start button in the Assignments list. Make sure you have enough time; an SPA cannot be stopped half way through. You can adjust the time allowed at the start point, but not after.
Students will work through a 3-step process of write|judge|vote.
When they are finished, you can access their answers from the Assignments list. Answers are ranked by the process but these ranks do not correlate direct to grades.
Show this 2:15 orientation video to your students before they start.
After the exercise, find the responses listed at Assignments Tab->Results->Short text responses
SPAs work best with open questions that invite evaluation and explanation. They are not suitable for testing rote-learned facts. When assigning, please draw students' attention to the judgement criterion: the teaching point is actually subtly encoded in this.
