Canvas analytics and assessment data week eight fall 2021

Week eight saw additional classes come up in Instructure Canvas. These courses appear to be ACE courses that started up on October 7. The platform has 31 instructors logging in and is serving 977 students. 

Week eight saw an increase in platform engagement on Monday and Tuesday, the days scheduled for midterm evaluations in the calendar. 

Total weekly page views have seen an uptick in weeks seven and eight. Saturday and Sunday of week eight, however, saw some of the least weekend engagement to date.

The course learning outcomes fall 2021 dashboard consists of four dashboards: Course learning outcomes overview with program and institutional learning outcomes shown, CSLO raw ratings which displays results for courses where the instructor has chosen to strip out the numeric rating scale, a campus analysis, and course level performance overview. The scale is a five point scale detailed in a post last March. A discussion of mapping decisions can be found in the week two and three reports. 


The general education outcomes dashboard displays the results of 3,077 assessments of 170 students. The overall average at present is four - a sufficient performance on the five point rating scale. On the rating scale a four is considered to be evidence that the student has demonstrated the student learning outcome. 


The learning outcomes disaggregated against student information system variables are only available for the author's courses. The dashboard is comprised of a set of four dashboards that explore learning by course level outcomes and a subset of student information system variables for the author's courses.

The overall average learning outcome performance over time dashboard was changed from a running cumulative average to daily average basis.  

Faculty at the college who are using Canvas can learn how to report learning to the institutional assessment dashboards from the following video.


Course learning outcomes from the institutional bank can be included in rubrics or in classic quiz question banks. 

Reports

Week one: assessment available at sunrise on a new term
Week two: SIS disaggregation and a deep dive into mapping decisions
Week three: SIS disaggregation and another dive into mapping complexities
Week four: a focus on subaccounts and campuses
Week five: pivot of state of origin versus gender
Week six: dashboards can be focused
Attendance versus performance in statistics
Week seven: outcome performance at the course level and other dashboards
Week eight: update at midterm

Plotting polar coordinates in Desmos and a vector addition demonstrator

Image
In an earlier post I noted that Desmos did not directly plot polar coordinates. Not only was I incorrect, but Desmos responded to my blog to correct me! Although I had at some point seen that one could define a function f(x)=3x+5 and then have Desmos calculate f(6), I had not absorbed how this might be used to plot polar coordinates. The above works beautifully . Realizing that I could effectively program Desmos, I applied this thinking to demonstrating how to add two vectors when given the magnitudes m and the direction angles theta. The graph calculates the i and j components for the two vectors and then adds the vectors, graphically displaying the result while also providing information on the magnitude and direction of the vector sum. m1 and theta1 are the magnitude and direction angle for one of the two vectors, m2 and theta2 are the magnitude and direction for the other vector. All four are dynamically interactive and can be changed. The diagram purports to illustra...

Setting up a boxplot chart in Google Sheets with multiple boxplots on a single chart

Image
The  Google Statistics  add-on for Google Sheets can display multiple boxplots in a single chart. The key is the layout of the data. One column should be the variable by which the data is to be grouped, the other column should be the data to be box plotted. Set up the Statistics add-on with the data to be plotted as the variable, and the grouping column as the "by" variable. In this image I had deselected all but the boxplot option, the result was the appearance of the Moment, Standard errors, and Confidence intervals options. The default is apparently a 95% confidence interval for the mean. The result is multiple boxplots on a single chart with a common scale. The new tab that is created also quotes 95% confidence intervals for the mean. Note that as of 2018 the Google Statistics add-on cannot be found by search in the add-ons. In addition, as of May 2018 the add-on no longer verifies, possibly due to the add-on not having been updated since August 2017. One may ha...

Traditional food dishes of Micronesia

Image
Clara, Jennette, and Joanie presented ground hard taro cooked in an umw, effectively a hot rock oven. Pohnpeian: rotama. Pingelapese: sero. Mwoakillese: rodma. Mortlockese: Amahd. Kosrae: rodoma. After cooking in an umw the rotama is pounded with the petiole of a palm frond. Rotama is made from hard or swamp taro, known as mwahng on Pohnpei, mweian on Pingalap, pula in Mortlockese, and pahsruhk on Kosrae. In traditional times on the outer islands the women had primary responsibility for tending the taro while the men handled fishing and climbing tasks. Joesen and Noeleen presented fermented breadfruit from the outer islands of Yap such as Woleai and Eauripik. The raw ingredients were actually brought in from Yap, Noeleen prepared the maare.  The leaf wrap is ti leaf - Cordyline fruticosa. Pauleen, Barnson, Trisha, Verginia, Con-ray, and Maylanda from Kitti, Pohnpei brought in mahi umw, koahpnoair koakihr, and uht sukusuk. Above is breadfruit umw, mahi umw, o...
