Data


 * Data-**


 * Data Acquisition Means, Student Surveys:**
 * 1) iPad Users-Loyola Moodle Server, using the Questionnaire module within the Moodle CMS to gather different types of surveys from free response to numerical values.
 * 2) Non iPad users-using Qwizdom remotes that both Qazi and Uy have for free response questions (multiple choice, numerical value)

Surveys will be identical for iPad and non iPad and will be administered at various key times throughout the school year (end of quarter, semester, year)


 * Data Acquisition Means, Student Performance:**


 * Assessment-**
 * iPad Users-Loyola Moodle Server, leveraging quiz module, hot potatoes quiz module for quizzes and unit tests
 * iPad Users-Quiz response app, $.99 for each device, similar to audience response systems-except we are using the iPads as the interface.
 * Non iPad Users-Using Qwizdom or ScanTron type quizzes and tests

Quizzes and tests will be identical for both iPad and non iPad, with an emphasis on multiple choice and numerical response only.


 * Reports, Classwork, Homework-**


 * iPad Users-Loyola Moodle Server-using the assignment module, where the user will turn in written work (lab reports, short answer) is a window within the web browser. This could be adapted on a per activity basis. Also, assignments can be distinguished as lab reports or homework. For homework, it will need to be done online at home.
 * Non iPad Users-all work will be kept in a science journal composition book, chronologically maintained.

Class performance will be graded the same throughout all classes of Qazi and Uy, with performance comparisons through data inputted within the Zangle grade system.For example, we will have the same assignment in Zangle with the same points and weighting regardless of iPad or non iPad.


 * Chapter Challenges-**


 * iPad Users-Chapter Challenges will be video based, with the challenges adapted to short segment video presentations. Students will peer assess online using the Moodle server. With the current OS of the iPad and the issue of saving on the hard drive space of the iPad, my suggestion for Chapter Challenges is to have the challenge be uploaded to a video sharing service (YouTube, Vimeo) the students will then "submit" their assignment via submitting a link of their project
 * Non iPad Users-Chapter Challenges will be based on other formats (models, poster presentations, even videos) and will vary per challenge.

All data acquired will be compared within all classes of Qazi and Uy, with the idea to have all work be the same for all classes as much as possible, from point assignment, to concepts covered.
