EzLy-DReAM: a dual-option digital recording assessment method for the sustainable use of preinstalled auto-tracking cameras in classrooms

EzLy-DReAM, a digital recording assessment method, was developed by a team led by a Chemical and Community course lecturer to enhance the accuracy of evaluating student presentations. This method uses classroom auto-tracking cameras to record students presenting face-to-face and then review their performance through video recordings. Its goal is to improve evaluation accuracy, focus on presentations, recognize student efforts, enhance presentation skills, and repurpose unused cameras for learning purposes. Challenges in assessing live presentations led to the adoption of this double assessment method. WebEx and Canva were used for recording and feedback, with positive student responses prompting its continued use. The lecturer still evaluates presentations immediately, but the double assessment provides additional validation. This innovative approach has been used for four semesters, receiving positive feedback and improving the overall learning experience by utilizing remote learning cameras for evaluation and marking student presentations.
