From the editor

What I find particularly valuable about the current volume is that all papers but one concern teaching and learning. They either directly refer to online education or present the solutions which may equally well be used in online and f2f settings. No one can tell how the new academic year will look like, and whether teaching and learning will take place mostly online or on campus. However, it seems quite reasonable to get prepared for the prevalence of distant classes. There is no doubt it cannot any longer be emergency remote learning. Therefore, the examples of practices that worked are particularly valuable. I do believe that the readers of the current volume will find the topics. covered in it inspirational.

Michael A. Kolitsky, Retrieval practice enhances online learning in micro and macro anatomy courses

Retrieval practice is described as a pedagogy that includes ways that students have a chance to recall information during their study process. With the introduction of online learning and course management systems which permit secure testing online, a way is provided to generate many sets of small quizzes from large question pools which can serve as an efficient digital method for practicing recall of the information to be learned. Course management systems also provide a way to capture and store the results of the small quizzes used for retrieval practice.

Kursy typu HyFlex – możliwości i wyzwania

Po bardzo nietypowym semestrze letnim roku akademickiego 2019/2020 przyszła pora na refleksję i decyzje, jak mogą lub powinny wyglądać zajęcia ze studentami w kolejnym roku. I właśnie biorąc pod uwagę ową niepewność, wiele uczelni już podjęło decyzje o realizacji semestru zimowego wyłącznie w trybie online, choć nie brak i takich, które ostateczne rozstrzygnięcie uzależniają od rozwoju sytuacji epidemiologicznej.

Jak oceniać wspólnie ze studentami

Czas biegnie szybko, chwilami wręcz mam wrażenie, że coraz szybciej... Poprzedni mój post był zatytułowany „Sesja tuż tuż…” i ani się obejrzeliśmy, a już prawie kończy się pierwszy wakacyjny miesiąc. Pozostając przy tematyce zaliczeń chcę zaproponować włączenie studentów w proces oceniania.
