Teaching and Learning Research and Innovation
From participants of ALT Association for Learning Technologies added to some exploration and studies I have collected this content.
I have created a Wiki with the same content, but one of the most valued project was the REAP, because it is very aligned to my research.
REAP – Re-engineering Assessment Practices
“The REAP project has demonstrated that assessment redesign with technology can result in improved learning, higher student satisfaction and more efficient use of staff time.” http://www.reap.ac.uk/reap/index.html

Jisc (formerly the Joint Information Systems Committee, and still commonly referred to as JISC) is a United Kingdom non-departmental public body whose role is to support post-16 and higher education, and research, by providing leadership in the use of information and communications technology (ICT) in learning, teaching, research and administration. It is funded by all the UK post-16 and higher education funding councils.( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jisc and http://Www.jisc.ac.uk )

Some tools Retrived from Edudemic.com http://www.edudemic.com a very interesting website for teachers, as well.
ClassDojo is a classroom tool that helps teachers improve behavior in their classrooms quickly and easily. It also captures and generates data on behavior that teachers can share with parents and administrators. Better learning behaviors, smoother lessons and hassle-free data – and its free! http://www.classdojo.com/
TeacherKit is a free app that serves as a grade book, attendance monitor, and behavior tracker for your classes. It offers a lot of stuff for a free app, including the ability to email contacts (students, parents) from the app, and set up profiles for all of your students, which is a great way to keep track of anything you need to remember about a particular student. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/teacherkit/id389584618?mt=8
Essay Grader offers a simple way to for teachers to grade writing assignments. The app includes several categories with checkboxes to give basic feedback to students (such as for readability, paragraphing, content, organization, and analysis), and then an area to offer text feedback personalized for each student. You can easily email the grading to the student via email. At $9.99, it isn’t exactly cheap, but if you’re going to be grading a lot of writing assignments, it offers a simple and streamlined way to get the job done. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/essay-grader/id376946246?mt=8
Miituu is a new, fast and cost effective way of collecting video feedback from many audiences. It is an innovative feedback application that makes listening to people easier and more efficient. It is quick and easy to set up, and it is straightforward for anyone to respond using their own devices – rather like taking a virtual interview. Miituu is different to a traditional data collection methodology used by market researchers and pollsters to collect text and statistics. Instead, miituu lets you gather responses from individuals with or without an internet connection and receive responses in video and audio so that real human emotions and feelings are captured and communicated. – See more at: http://miituu.com/what-is-miituu/#sthash.EmwCtiP7.dpuf
mQlicker is a powerful Audience Response System (sometimes, in the education context, referred to as a Classroom Response System) which enables a wide range of activities such as mobile polling and mobile surveys for an audience to provide instant responses via mobile devices. An audience in a traditional classroom, conference room or virtual classroom can be given an audience interaction activity to answer multiple choice questions with single or multiple selections, or provide a response in the form of a number or a text message. The responses from the audience can be presented live using a projector for classroom discussion, integrated with PowerPoint or even exported as a spreadsheet for analysis. http://www.mqlicker.com/product.html
Turnitin is a comprehensive cloud-based solution that helps students learn by facilitating personalized feedback. http://www.submit.ac.uk/ or http://turnitin.com/
