Finding and interpreting learning gaps

• Highlight specific gaps in student learning and provide concrete, actionable steps that students can take to move to the next level.

• Emphasise more on the mastery of skills and content rather than marks/grades. Marks/grades alone may not let students know their learning gaps; students may even feel helpless or have no control in their learning.

• The ultimate goal of AfL is to get students to take ownership by playing an active role in the process of learning in school and beyond.

Tech-enabled AfL

Watch how the teacher uses Kahoot in class to locate and close gaps. Consider how Kahoot can be assigned for self-paced learning and can help track individual students' strengths and weaknesses across learning episodes.

Watch how SLS enables monitoring of students' progress and affordances for individualized and immediate feedback to support in-class and home-based learning. For more ideas, join the Singapore Learning Designers Circle community and Home-based Learning Support Group.
