S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
um thank you for watching this video everyone i hope it's not
0:04
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
too long i will try to keep it short um i believe i've met most of you
0:08
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
uh over a video call at some point but hello to those
0:12
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
of you that i haven't met uh my name's paddy um
0:17
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
I'd like to introduce you to the Uplift project,
0:20
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
which is very different to some of the stuff you would have been doing so
0:24
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
far as part of the marking project.
0:25
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Marking has been going very,
0:28
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
very well.
0:28
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Very grateful for all the work you've done on that.
0:30
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
The performance that you've been monitoring over the last couple of weeks
0:34
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
is looking really good.
0:36
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
There's work to be done,
0:37
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
but yeah,
0:38
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
it's looking, it's looking,
0:39
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
it's what we expected in terms of performance,
0:42
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
which is nice to have that confirmed.
0:43
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
So yeah,
0:45
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
thank you for that.
0:46
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
um let me explain the uplift project um this
0:51
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
is a requirement for our
0:55
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
practice materials on the ielts sites that we have we
1:00
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
have um ai generation capabilities
1:05
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
where we can generate question types from
1:09
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
the ielts test and we can put those in front of students
1:14
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
But as with everything related to AI,
1:16
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
it's imperfect and sometimes inconsistent.
1:20
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
And we're not going to put anything in front of students that is
1:24
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
for practice that hasn't been looked at by people.
1:28
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
The AI element is time -saving rather than replacement.
1:32
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Some of you have already
1:36
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
been assessing this content,
1:38
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
but some of it's passable.
1:41
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
And some of it's level one,
1:42
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
some of it's level two.
1:44
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
What we're doing in this project is we're taking IELTS reading and listening content,
1:48
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
which has been designated as passable,
1:50
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
and we're editing it to get it to level one.
1:54
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
So let me explain what that means.
1:57
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Passable content may have some
2:01
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
minor issues.
2:03
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
And it might be imperfect in many ways,
2:06
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
but you could still reliably put it in front of a student and not
2:10
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
be totally embarrassed.
2:11
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
It's still useful practice for a student.
2:14
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Maybe more for their English language skills than specifically
2:18
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
IELTS skills,
2:19
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
but it's still a valid use of their time,
2:23
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
even if some of the questions are quite weak.
2:25
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Level 1.
2:28
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
is a much better reflection of IELTS question types.
2:32
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
And if a student does a level one activity,
2:36
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
we can confidently say that they are doing valuable
2:40
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
IELTS practice.
2:42
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
That's what we're aiming for.
2:46
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
In theory,
2:47
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
the time it takes to edit a passable exercise to
2:51
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
a level one exercise should really be no more than 20
2:56
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
or 30 minutes.
2:56
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Obviously longer when you first start doing this and get familiar
3:00
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
with the platform.
3:01
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
But after you've gotten familiar with the editing process,
3:04
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
it really shouldn't take that long to fix a passable activity
3:08
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
because it's probably going to be...
3:11
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
something's wrong with the formatting or one of the questions is slightly
3:15
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
weak or some variant answers haven't been included as possible
3:19
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
answer keys,
3:20
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
things like that.
3:21
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
If you're looking at an exercise and you think,
3:25
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
oh, this is going to require a lot of work to get it into a shape
3:29
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
that's suitable for students to practice IELTS questions with,
3:32
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
then we probably want to skip it.
3:36
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
It probably shouldn't have been passable.
3:38
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Maybe it was fail.
3:39
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
So move on to another one.
3:41
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Level two.
3:43
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
So to give you an idea of where level one is,
3:45
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
level two is much closer to mock test standard.
3:49
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
We're not really using AI for our mock
3:53
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
tests.
3:53
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
They're somewhat sacred.
3:55
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
We might use it for creating the texts,
3:58
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
but we're not going to let AI have the final say on that stuff.
4:01
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Mock test standard is about IELTS difficulty.
4:05
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
So level one may not necessarily be the difficulty of the
4:09
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
real IELTS test.
4:10
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
It might be a bit too easy,
4:11
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
might be a bit too hard.
4:12
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Whereas level two is designed to accurately
4:16
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
give students a reflection of their performance,
4:19
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
their test -taker performance.
4:20
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
So if you see an activity and you
4:24
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
think, oh, it's a little tricky,
4:25
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
I could edit all the questions to make it a bit easier,
4:28
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
that might not be necessary for it to be level one.
4:31
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Level one is basically,
4:33
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
it's good IELTS practice,
4:35
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
even if it's not something you might get in a mock test.
4:39
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
So I hope that's clear.
4:40
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
These level definitions are subjective,
4:43
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
I do appreciate,
4:44
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
and I welcome any questions you have about them at the beginning.
4:48
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
There'll be lots of feedback about the assessments and the edits that you've
4:52
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
done.
4:52
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
But yeah,
4:55
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
it is somewhat dependent upon personal judgment of
4:59
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
what you...
5:00
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
would put in front of a student for IELTS practice but yeah
5:04
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
I hope you can use your judgment accordingly.
5:06
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
So where are these going to appear?
5:09
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Well on our site be
5:13
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
it IELTS Flex or IELTS Ready Premium,
5:15
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
the one that we provide to British Council,
5:17
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
students can do mock tests.
5:21
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
or they can do practice.
5:22
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
So a student can take a mock test or they can do individual
5:27
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
practice questions.
5:28
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
At present,
5:29
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
all of our practice questions come from the same database
5:33
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
that all of our mock tests come from.
5:35
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
That means that when a student joins our site and
5:39
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
says, I want to do lots of true false not given questions,
5:43
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
if they blast through all 34 of
5:47
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
these,
5:48
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
then when they come to do their mock test...
5:51
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
They've already done all of the true,
5:53
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
false, not givens.
5:54
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
You can see the problem here.
5:56
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
They're cannibalizing their own store of
6:00
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
mock tests.
6:01
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
What we want to do is make the practice area a separate
6:05
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
database to the mock test area.
6:07
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
This means generating lots of practice content,
6:10
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
determining which of it is suitable,
6:12
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
level one,
6:13
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
or even passable,
6:14
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
making sure it's at the level we want,
6:17
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
and then students will be able to practice those.
6:20
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Hopefully the difference between mock test standard and practice is clear.
6:23
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Practice is like,
6:24
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
I want to see what it's like.
6:26
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
I want to see how the questions appear
6:30
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
to me, what the format is.
6:31
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Whereas mock test is,
6:33
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
I want to know my level.
6:34
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
So different requirements in terms of the materials.
6:37
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Much higher standards for mock tests.
6:41
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
So you can see for practice,
6:42
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
we've got lots of different question types available.
6:44
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
In some cases,
6:46
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
this is a general training student.
6:47
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
We've only got four of multiple choice.
6:50
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
So that's frankly,
6:53
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
could be much better.
6:54
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
We'd like more of each question type.
6:56
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
For academic,
6:57
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
these numbers would be much,
6:58
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
much higher.
6:58
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
But our target for this is 25 of
7:03
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
each. We'd like 25 of each question type across listening,
7:07
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
across academic reading,
7:09
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
across general training reading.
7:11
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
So that brings us over to the uplift project.
7:14
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
This is the sheet that we're going
7:18
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
to be working from.
7:19
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
It's called passables for uplift,
7:21
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
meaning we're uplifting passable level activities to
7:26
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
level ones.
7:27
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
We're tracking what we have so far,
7:30
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
and in some cases we already have what we need.
7:34
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
True force not given.
7:36
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
We generated a lot of these,
7:37
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
and it didn't perform tremendously well,
7:40
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
but because the volume we generated was so high,
7:43
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
and as many of you watching this will know,
7:46
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
we got a fair few level ones out of it.
7:49
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
We got 52 level ones already,
7:51
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
so that more than meets the requirement of 25.
7:55
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
So we're good to go with True False Not Given academic reading.
8:00
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Whereas matching information to categories in section one of the general
8:04
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
training reading,
8:05
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
where we have multiple texts,
8:07
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
you know, section one,
8:08
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
sometimes you have multiple advertisements,
8:10
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
that kind of thing.
8:11
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
We've got 44 passables,
8:13
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
but none of them were level ones.
8:14
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
So the assessors decided that none of those were quite
8:20
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
ready to be called level one.
8:22
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
So in order to reach 25,
8:24
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
we should take 25 of these 44 and uplift them
8:28
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
to level 1s.
8:30
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
You'll notice I'm not really mentioning level 2s.
8:32
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
That's not our objective.
8:35
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
I mean,
8:36
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
if you uplift something to level 1 and it ends up being a level 2,
8:39
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
great.
8:40
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
But in terms of how you manage your time,
8:42
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
you shouldn't be striving for mock test standard because these are never going
8:46
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
to be included as part of a mock test.
8:49
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
their generic IELTS practice,
8:51
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
which gives an idea of the structure of the questions.
8:54
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
For some of them,
8:57
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
we're close.
8:58
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
You know,
8:58
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
we've got like a few,
9:00
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
but we need 14 more.
9:01
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
So there's lots of passables we could pull from.
9:04
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
We just need 14 out of these 155 to
9:09
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
uplift.
9:09
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
So if you don't get one of these part three flow completions that
9:13
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
you're happy with,
9:14
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
that you think is easy to uplift,
9:15
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
jump to the next one.
9:17
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
okay skip that one we want to spend as little time on this
9:21
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
as possible uh so choose a possible which is going to be easy
9:25
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
editing work so what is
9:29
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
the actual task well in this sheet here which
9:34
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
is called the uplifting zone um we've
9:38
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
got all of the exercises which were deemed to be
9:42
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
possible before
9:44
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
In some cases,
9:45
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
you might disagree that these were passable.
9:47
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
You might think,
9:48
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
actually,
9:49
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
this fails in a number of ways and it's going to take me a lot of work to
9:53
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
get it to a level one.
9:54
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
If that's the case,
9:55
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
skip it.
9:56
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Move to the next one.
9:57
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
If you find that's the case for...
10:00
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
10 in a row then it may be that your
10:05
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
standards are too high or it may be that there's some
10:10
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
major issue which to you looks major but is actually a relatively easy fix
10:14
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
within the interface,
10:18
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
within the platform that we're using to edit these.
10:21
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
In other cases it may be that the issue is
10:25
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
entirely down to a listening recording.
10:29
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
So maybe all of these listening form completions contain a problem with the audio,
10:33
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
serious unnatural pronunciation,
10:36
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
and it cannot be fixed with editing.
10:39
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
We'd have to fix the audio.
10:40
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
If that's the case,
10:41
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
so be it.
10:42
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
I mean,
10:43
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
we need to generate more audio and assess and find more level
10:47
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
ones within that.
10:48
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
But as much as possible,
10:50
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
we want to take what we have and uplift it.
10:53
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
On columns A
10:58
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
to E,
10:59
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
A to D,
11:00
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
I should say, we have information about the task.
11:02
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
I think the most interesting one is column B,
11:06
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
which tells you whether it's general training reading,
11:08
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
GTR,
11:09
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
or academic reading,
11:11
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
which would be ACR.
11:12
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
And if it doesn't say ACR or GTR,
11:15
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
that means it's listening.
11:16
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
So this one starts with the word education.
11:19
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
That means it is listening.
11:21
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Task type tells you the type
11:25
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
of task.
11:25
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
You will recognize most of these names.
11:27
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Some of them you...
11:30
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
may take a bit of comprehension but if you see things like part
11:35
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
two it means it's specific to that section of the text so you know
11:39
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
part one form completion in listening is a little different to completing
11:44
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
a table in part four of the listening test in
11:48
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
general training sometimes they say things like section one single text
11:54
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
that means it's a type of section one text where there is only one
11:58
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
text.
11:58
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
And if it says multiple text,
12:00
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
that means it's made up of like different sections of the text.
12:04
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Those of you who've worked with general training reading will
12:09
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
be familiar with it.
12:10
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
If you're not familiar with general training or if you're not
12:14
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
familiar with certain question types,
12:16
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
I do encourage you to go and look at some of the Cambridge books.
12:20
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
go and do a bit of research,
12:21
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
find out what they look like.
12:23
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
If you need help or if you need any guidance on it,
12:26
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
don't hesitate to ask me.
12:28
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
I'm happy to provide you with examples.
12:30
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
I'm not expecting you to be fully au fait with
12:34
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
the complete editorial standards across all reading
12:39
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
and listening tests.
12:40
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
It's quite a big ask.
12:41
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
But I'm sure things like,
12:43
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
you know, multiple choice we're all pretty familiar with.
12:46
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
In column E,
12:49
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
we have how many we need.
12:51
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
As we convert more and more of these passables to level
12:55
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
one, this number will go down.
12:58
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
So if I change this to level one,
13:00
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
we can see it goes to 17 from 18.
13:02
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
When it gets to zero,
13:04
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
don't do any more.
13:06
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
We don't need to work on that anymore.
13:08
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
And we'll see in the requirements that this number reaches zero.
13:12
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
We can stop working on it.
13:14
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
OK,
13:19
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
then we get to F,
13:20
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
G, H and I,
13:21
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
these columns here.
13:24
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
These are all links to the writers interface.
13:27
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Some of you already have logins to writers.
13:31
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Some of you do not.
13:32
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
I'm setting that up this evening and I will pass on that information.
13:35
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Please be patient with the writers logins.
13:38
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
They will probably not work initially.
13:40
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
It's a...
13:42
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
It's quite an old system,
13:43
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
but it does its job very well.
13:45
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
So we might have a bit of back and forth over
13:49
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
getting those logins working properly.
13:51
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Jamin has agreed to give you a bit of marking to fall
13:55
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
back on if we can't get that fixed immediately.
13:57
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
So you're not sitting around waiting for me to fix your logins.
14:00
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
But yeah,
14:01
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
we'll try and sort that as much as possible.
14:03
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Might be easier to jump on a call to those of you in the...
14:08
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
hemisphere or longitude that I'm currently in.
14:11
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
But yeah,
14:12
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
I'm sure we'll be able to figure it out.
14:13
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Anyway,
14:14
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
I'm going to set you up with writer's login so that these links will open for you.
14:18
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
F and G are both preview
14:22
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
links.
14:23
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
It doesn't really matter which one you go for,
14:26
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
but G is probably the most useful because you can easily see feedback.
14:30
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
So let's have a look at a preview link.
14:34
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Let's do a listening.
14:36
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
It's a nice one to start with.
14:40
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
So the preview link,
14:41
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
this is a flowchart question.
14:42
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Flowchart questions can seem quite ugly because we've
14:47
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
got the actual flowchart in the question instructions,
14:51
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
which is not very aesthetic,
14:53
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
but you can see how it works.
14:56
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
And then the actual questions.
15:00
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
and the options are presented underneath.
15:01
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
This is probably our most,
15:04
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
if I'm brutally honest,
15:05
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
this is our most makeshift question in that we've kind of cobbled this
15:09
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
together in a way that works on our platform because gap
15:14
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
fill flowcharts generated by AI,
15:16
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
getting them to function well is a surprisingly hard thing to do.
15:20
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Anyway,
15:21
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
you can listen to the audio.
15:25
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
If you're looking at it in this view,
15:27
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
you can also download the audio.
15:28
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
You may want to do this if you want to transcribe it.
15:32
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
There are a number of free transcription tools online.
15:35
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Otter AI is one I've mentioned in the guidelines here.
15:39
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Otter AI.
15:42
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
It might help you if you're editing the question or if you're editing the
15:46
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
feedback for the answers.
15:47
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
You might want to know what the speaker says without having to go back and play it again.
15:52
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Failing that,
15:53
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
if you download it,
15:54
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
then you have a lot quicker control over the audio file.
15:57
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
So you don't have to transcribe it.
15:58
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
You can just listen to what they say.
16:00
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
It's up to you.
16:01
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
So I'm previewing the activity.
16:04
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
You might want to do it.
16:05
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
You can see the feedback if you get it wrong or if you get it right.
16:09
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Have a little play around with these.
16:13
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
have a look at the questions if you do this question and you're thinking
16:17
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
this is great i can't see any problem with this this this this works perfectly
16:22
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
then go back and have a look
16:26
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
at the row um
16:31
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
and i can see that the feedback that which was pulled from a
16:35
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
previous assessment sheet so this column j is is the other writer's assessment
16:39
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
uh it says poor voice acting but the questions are broadly acceptable
16:44
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Well, we can't fix the voice acting in the audio recording.
16:48
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
The audio is static.
16:49
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
We're not going to change that.
16:50
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
So if you think that this works despite the poor voice acting,
16:55
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
it's a little bit awkward,
16:56
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
a little bit embarrassing the way they intone.
16:58
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
The pronunciation is a bit weird.
17:00
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
But it still works and it still tests people and it doesn't break the
17:04
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
activity.
17:04
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Then actually we can say this is a level one.
17:09
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
But not before you've checked the instructions
17:13
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
and the feedback.
17:17
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
You can check the instructions here.
17:21
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Also,
17:24
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
in the other view,
17:24
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
it's slightly easier to see these.
17:27
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Let's
17:32
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
just find another one.
17:33
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
I'm going to click on the first preview link,
17:37
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
column F,
17:37
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
and we can see the instructions a little clearer.
17:40
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
So there's the rubric,
17:41
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
there's the instructions.
17:42
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
This is the kind of thing we just want to check before we put it in front of students.
17:48
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Okay, so we've had a look at the activity by using the preview link,
17:51
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
and if we decide absolutely nothing needs changing,
17:55
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
well, we do still want to have a quick scan of the feedback,
17:58
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
but probably we don't need to spend too much time on this.
18:00
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
If,
18:01
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
however, we know what the problem is,
18:03
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
or the writer before us has clearly
18:07
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
identified the problem,
18:08
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
then we're going to go in and edit the activity.
18:11
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
It may be that we need to edit the questions.
18:15
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
That's what column H is for.
18:18
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Or it may be that we need to edit the text or instructions or
18:22
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
rubric.
18:22
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
That's what column I is for.
18:24
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
So let's open a edit
18:28
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
link and let's open a
18:32
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
define link.
18:33
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Okay,
18:37
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
this is one where we edit the question.
18:40
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
This type of question is close.
18:43
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
I know that...
18:45
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
because we know what close means,
18:47
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
but I also know that because I can see the word close in
18:52
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
this box here.
18:53
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Close at the end of the URL.
18:56
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
If it was not a close,
18:58
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
it would be a quiz.
18:59
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Let's just find a quiz.
19:03
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
There we go.
19:03
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
So we can see this one ends in the word quiz.
19:06
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Because
19:10
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
it's close, that means all of the questions are in one
19:14
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
question.
19:15
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
So this is one question box,
19:17
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
and I can go in and edit the answers to this question.
19:21
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Let's do that now.
19:22
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Click on edit answers.
19:23
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
The question is a block of text
19:27
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
because this is a summary completion and each of the close options is
19:31
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
represented by square brackets.
19:33
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
The close options and the question
19:37
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
number should match perfectly.
19:40
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
okay if this were a mock test then obviously we might have different
19:45
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
question numbers for the closed gap but in this case question
19:49
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
one has to be closed gap one question four has to be closed gap four for
19:53
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
this to work the closed gap corresponds
19:58
S… Speaker 2 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
to a text box
20:00
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
where students can type in the answer we
20:04
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
can actually see that if we preview this activity let me
20:08
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
just find it i'm going to search for it in this sheet because i've
20:12
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
lost it okay there we go if i preview this activity
20:16
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
we can see uh the closed gaps here one two
20:20
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
three four and a student would type their answer in that gap um
20:27
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
the answer options are halfway down the page or near the bottom these
20:33
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
positions
20:34
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
1, 2,
20:35
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
3, 4 correspond to the square bracket
20:40
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
close gaps up here.
20:41
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
So position 1,
20:43
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
the correct answer is metabolic
20:47
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
slowdown.
20:48
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Assuming that's correct,
20:50
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
maybe we look at the text and we go,
20:52
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
well, it could be metabolic slowdown,
20:54
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
but maybe slowdown,
20:56
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
just the word slowdown,
20:58
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
is also a perfectly valid answer
21:02
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
to the question.
21:03
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Okay, I don't know,
21:04
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
I'm not looking at the text,
21:05
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
but let's imagine that it is.
21:07
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
So I think one of the problems with this question,
21:10
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
number one, is that it should accept slowdown as
21:14
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
an alternative answer.
21:15
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
So what we would do is we would add an extra answer.
21:19
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
We're going to type slowdown and put
21:23
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
it in position one.
21:27
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Now position 1 has multiple accepted answers.
21:31
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
If a student types metabolic slowdown,
21:33
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
they get the answer correct.
21:34
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
If they type slowdown,
21:35
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
they get the answer correct.
21:37
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
If they just type metabolic,
21:38
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
they won't get the answer correct.
21:40
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
You can have an unlimited number of answers for any position.
21:45
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
So I could keep on adding loads and loads of possibilities.
21:48
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
For listening part one,
21:50
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
we often need to do this.
21:51
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
You know, April 25th,
21:52
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
April 25th,
21:53
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
25th of April,
21:54
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
25 April,
21:55
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
April the 25th.
21:56
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
You get the idea.
21:57
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Sometimes we have quite a few.
21:59
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Every time you add an answer,
22:03
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
you need to add feedback.
22:05
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
This question...
22:09
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
already has feedback added.
22:10
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
The AI has generated the feedback.
22:12
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
So if that's the feedback for question one,
22:15
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
then I can just copy that.
22:16
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
As a general rule,
22:19
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
it's probably better to copy the source rather
22:23
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
than the rich text.
22:25
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
You're going to hear me use the word HTML and rich text a few times.
22:29
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Basically,
22:30
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
for those of you unfamiliar,
22:32
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
rich text is what we see here.
22:34
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
It's text with formatting like italics and bold visible.
22:39
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
So if you copy this and you paste it into a word processor,
22:42
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
it will recognize the italics,
22:44
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
it will recognize the bold,
22:46
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
and it will use its own formatting to replicate that.
22:50
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
If I click on source,
22:51
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
then I actually see the HTML tags used to
22:55
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
tell any piece of software in the world,
22:58
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
more or less, what this should appear as.
23:01
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
This is far safer because if you paste this,
23:05
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
it's not going to carry any hidden formatting.
23:08
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Whereas if I paste this into certain boxes,
23:11
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
I might lose the formatting.
23:12
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
It might carry some other ugly bits of formatting inside it secretly.
23:16
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
So it's better to copy the source text,
23:19
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
which is plain text.
23:20
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
So I'm going to copy that and I'm
23:26
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
going to go to this one,
23:28
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
which is the one I added.
23:29
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
And in source,
23:31
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
I'm going to paste that.
23:32
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Great.
23:33
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Then it's replicated the formatting a bit previously.
23:36
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Be careful not to paste that.
23:39
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
without pressing source because then it'll save looking like this.
23:42
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
We don't want it to look like that.
23:44
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
We want it to look like that.
23:48
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Add feedback.
23:51
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Cool.
23:52
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
So now there is feedback for every question.
23:55
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Let's just double check that.
23:56
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Yep. I apologize for this red box.
23:59
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
There is nothing I can do about it.
24:01
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
It will annoy you and then you'll make your peace with it
24:05
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
and then you'll move forward and the pain will recede.
24:11
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
um save question when you're done i've talked
24:16
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
a lot about formatting um make sure you don't paste
24:20
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
text into this text box if i go
24:25
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
to another i don't know if i go to another website and
24:29
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
i i copy a load of text like that and
24:33
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
i paste it into this box it's going to carry
24:38
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
with it that formatting which
24:40
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
As you can see there,
24:42
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
quite a lot of hidden HTML.
24:45
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
If I save this,
24:47
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
then it's going to screw up the whole activity in terms of how it appears to students.
24:51
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
It's going to look really,
24:54
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
really bad.
24:55
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
It needs to be unformatted.
24:57
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
You can...
25:00
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
paste it unformatted by doing command shift v or
25:04
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
control shift v still not great so
25:08
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
the best thing to do if you have to paste is to paste it into source
25:12
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
and then it's the most simple form of it great
25:17
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
And now you can edit this text.
25:19
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
If you want to do line breaks,
25:20
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
you press enter.
25:21
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
You don't have to explain that to you.
25:23
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Point being,
25:24
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
any editing and bolding and italics you want to do,
25:27
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
do it in this box.
25:29
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Don't do it on a word processor or Google Docs.
25:32
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Don't do it outside of this box,
25:33
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
if that makes sense.
25:34
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Okay,
25:38
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
so that is a closed question.
25:41
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
I'm not going to save that.
25:46
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
This was the define page.
25:49
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
So if you remember,
25:50
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
I clicked on the edit link,
25:51
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
but then I also clicked on the define link,
25:53
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
which is about the text and the instructions.
25:56
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Text and instructions are the bottom three
26:00
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
boxes.
26:00
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
General question,
26:02
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
instructions to student and rubric.
26:05
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
So rubric is kind of introduction part.
26:09
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
instructions are the specific instructions for that set of questions and
26:14
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
then general question import is the text itself formatting
26:20
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
of rubric and instructions actually don't matter too much because they go into a special bucket
26:25
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
and appear the same for students every time if we
26:29
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
look at the
26:30
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
preview link we can see they basically always appear like this don't
26:34
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
worry these don't necessarily appear like this precisely on the student
26:38
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
platform they're probably going to look something like
26:43
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
this a bit a bit more natural if
26:47
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
that makes sense um okay
26:51
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
so if you decide there's something wrong with the rubric and the instructions
26:55
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
this is where you would edit it for example questions one to four
27:00
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Questions one to four.
27:01
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Are there really four questions?
27:03
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
I don't know.
27:03
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Go back and look.
27:04
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Maybe there's three questions and the AI has said something weird,
27:07
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
so we need to edit that.
27:09
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
General question text.
27:12
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Maybe you want to change the text.
27:14
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Maybe there's a way a sentence is phrased.
27:17
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
If you could just change one word,
27:18
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
then the questions would function.
27:20
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Or maybe the formatting of this looks odd.
27:23
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
You might want to change that.
27:24
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Here's where you can do it.
27:27
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
If you change the text,
27:29
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
there's a chance you might need to change the feedback,
27:31
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
because the feedback will often quote parts of the text,
27:35
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
so just keep that in mind.
27:37
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
When you're done,
27:39
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
click Save Exercise at the bottom.
27:41
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
When you are
27:46
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
happy,
27:47
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
make sure you've checked the instructions,
27:49
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
make sure you've checked the feedback,
27:51
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
and then you can change the status to Level 1.
27:55
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
When you're working on something,
27:56
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
it'll help to assign it to yourself.
28:00
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
I think your names have all been added here.
28:02
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
You can assign the next few tasks.
28:06
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
I would ask that you don't assign more than five to
28:10
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
yourself.
28:11
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Otherwise,
28:11
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
people tend to kind of take up huge rows of like 50 of them and then they don't necessarily
28:16
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
get done.
28:16
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
So yeah,
28:17
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
please no more than five just to make sure we can manage this project well.
28:23
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
I've talked about closed questions.
28:25
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Let's look at a quiz question.
28:27
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Matching headings to paragraphs.
28:31
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
OK, so a quiz question is one where students
28:35
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
have to select the correct answer as opposed
28:40
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
to typing the correct answer.
28:41
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
They have to select one.
28:43
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
That's the text there.
28:46
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Let's edit this.
28:49
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
what was the problem borderline fail only four questions weak
28:53
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
paraphrasing okay maybe we can improve the paraphrasing on this i
28:58
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
think four questions is okay we can live with there only being four it's a little short
29:02
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
general training activity maybe a student just wants you know five

S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
six seven minutes of practice as you can see it's
29:11
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
entered as four distinct questions unlike close which was just one question
29:15
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
this is four separate questions
29:19
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Let's have a look at question one,
29:21
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
paragraph A.
29:23
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
For quiz questions,
29:25
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
the first thing in the text box should be the number of the question,
29:29
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
and then it'll be whatever the question is.
29:32
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
If it's matching headings,
29:33
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
it's probably going to be paragraph A,
29:35
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
B, C, etc.
29:35
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
If it's matching information,
29:38
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
then this may be a statement or a sentence.
29:41
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Obviously,
29:41
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
it depends on the question.
29:45
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
If it's true,
29:46
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
false, not given,
29:46
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
then this will be a statement and then the options will be true,
29:50
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
false, not given.
29:50
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
If we have a look at the answers,
29:54
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
these are all options,
29:56
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
I should say.
29:56
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
These are...
30:00
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
the options that a student can select now because this is
30:04
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
what's called a matching exercise like matching headings matching
30:08
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
information to categories the options must be
30:12
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
the same for every question let's go
30:17
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
back and have a look at the four questions again if
30:21
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
we have a look at the answers the options are the same
30:25
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
for every single question
30:29
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
If that were not true,
30:30
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
it would mess up this activity because all of a sudden for one of the paragraphs,
30:34
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
you've got a different set of options.
30:36
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Well, that's not how this question type works.
30:38
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
So if I do decide to edit any of these,
30:41
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
which is absolutely welcome to do,
30:44
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
just remember you've got to apply that same edit to those other questions.
30:48
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
So maybe copy this and then add it to the subsequent questions.
30:58
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Option questions,
30:59
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
or should I say quiz questions,
31:00
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
where you select an option,
31:02
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
they're a little more irritating to add feedback because
31:06
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
there is no rich text editor for the feedback.
31:09
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
You need to put it in this tiny little text
31:14
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
box here,
31:14
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
which is fiddly because,
31:16
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
you know,
31:17
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
you can't see the whole thing at once.
31:19
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
I would recommend,
31:21
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
and this seems weird,
31:23
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
but it's quite a good way of doing it,
31:24
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
I would recommend going to this box.
31:31
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
i'm just going to click source okay add a
31:35
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
space and then write the feedback you want to give paragraph
31:40
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
c states that monkeys
31:44
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)

31:48
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
ballet so iv
31:54
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
the meaning of life is
31:59
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
the correct answer
32:02
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Now that's feedback.
32:04
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Feedback has very strict formatting guidelines.
32:07
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Most of what I'm saying and a lot of these guidelines are in
32:11
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
this first tab here,
32:13
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
guidelines.
32:13
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
So if you forget everything I'm saying in this video,
32:16
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
I'm dumping a whole load of information on you.
32:19
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
I don't expect you to remember half of it.
32:20
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
You can check a lot of what I'm saying here.
32:24
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
The format of feedback
32:29
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
is stated here.
32:34
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
so going back I want to have this part in
32:38
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
italics you can use the buttons here if you like and
32:43
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
this part bold and let's have a look
32:47
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
at what that looks like in source code great copy that delete
32:54
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
it and go down here and I
32:58
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
can paste what I just wrote here and it will contain all of
33:02
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
those HTML tags so I don't need to manually add them myself
33:08
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
To those of you familiar with HTML,
33:10
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
this shouldn't be too tricky,
33:11
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
but yeah,
33:12
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
HTML is something I've personally learned by doing this job,
33:16
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
so I wouldn't expect everyone to know it.
33:18
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Also,
33:21
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
if it's a matching exercise or multiple choice,
33:25
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
remember to set one of the answers as correct.
33:30
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
It doesn't matter whether it's correct or incorrect as to the feedback.
33:33
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
The feedback is the same every single time.
33:35
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
But if you have all of these as no,
33:38
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
the exercise will break,
33:40
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
obviously.
33:40
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
One of them needs to be correct.
33:42
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
If it's what we call multiple select,
33:44
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
meaning that students choose two correct answers,
33:47
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
then two of these would be set to yes.
33:50
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Just like that,
33:51
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
I've changed this question to multiple select,
33:53
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
which doesn't work because that doesn't fit the instructions,
33:56
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
but you get the idea.
34:00
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Cool, so that's a quiz question.
34:02
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
There's
34:06
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
a few other things to be aware of that I've put into these guidelines,
34:09
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
but I'm not going to go over these because I'm aware that this video is probably going to be
34:13
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
quite long anyway.
34:14
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
The best thing to do is to log
34:19
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
into writers,
34:20
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
have a go at doing a few exercises.
34:22
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
You might get them wrong.
34:24
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
You might mess something up.
34:26
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Don't worry too much.
34:27
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
None of these exercises are currently live.
34:31
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
So we don't need to panic if we break
34:35
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
something.
34:35
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
It's a good opportunity for you to get
34:40
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
familiar with the writers interface.
34:41
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
When I say writers,
34:44
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
that's a capital W.
34:45
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
It refers to this interface,
34:48
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
writers .gelnet .org.
34:50
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
So if you hear me use the term writers confusingly,
34:54
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
I'm not referring to the people necessarily.
34:55
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
I'm referring to the platform.
34:59
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Go and have a go at fixing some of these exercises.
35:01
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
I expect it to be slow going initially.
35:05
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
I'd like to review after you've done four or five.
35:08
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
So please do send me a message after you've done a few.
35:12
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
And I'll come in and review,
35:14
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
give you lots of feedback.
35:15
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
You'll be reporting to Jamin,
35:19
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
but we'll kind of be sharing this project.
35:21
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
So if you have any questions at all,
35:23
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
please don't hesitate to contact me or Jamin.
35:26
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
uh he can pass anything on to me that that he can't deal with um
35:31
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
yeah i think that's that's pretty much it there's probably loads
35:35
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
of stuff i've missed but ultimately um the the test is in the doing
35:39
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
so have a go and see how you find it is
35:43
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
there anything worth mentioning here
35:48
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Yeah, we've got some guidelines on the standards here,
35:51
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
guidelines on how to do closed questions,
35:54
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
quiz questions,
35:54
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
and then editing the instructions and the texts.
35:59
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Yeah,
36:02
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
I think this is quite a key point.
36:04
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
If it takes more than 30 minutes of work to get it up to standard,
36:07
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
better to skip it and choose another.
36:09
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
I'd rather...
36:12
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
skip stuff and then choose something that's easy to improve than
36:16
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
spend lots of time editing one particular
36:20
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
activity.
36:21
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Because we have
36:25
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
a total of 550 exercises to uplift.
36:29
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
We would like to get this done before the end of May.
36:33
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
That's a pretty big job.
36:36
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
We've got lots of people on this project.
36:39
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
I think currently seven people.
36:41
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
Possibly we'll add more.
36:43
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
So there is plenty,
36:45
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
plenty for people to do.
36:46
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
But yeah,
36:48
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
we'll see how you go.
36:50
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
I don't expect it to be super fast at the beginning.
36:52
S… Speaker 1 (Screen Recording 2026-05-05 At 17.26.08)
But like I say,
36:54
