Doorway Online – A Teacher’s Toolbox for Assessment and Learning

13/06/2017 by Doorway Online

This is a summary of the presentation to be given at CALL Scotland ASL & Technology Conference 14th June 2017.

Our Principles – Accessibility, Availability, Inclusiveness

Our Range – The Doorway Online Suite offers a range of activities covering aspects of:

  • Early Literacy and Spelling
  • Number up to 100 from counting up to pre-tables work and addition with carrying and subtraction with decomposition
  • Practical approaches to time and money
  • Typing Skills for visually impaired and single handed users
  • Early Skills, Memory, Matching and Targeting

Assessment and Learning – Most of our activities have two modes, or different sub activities, that are for either learning or assessment

The Talking Computer Materials – These materials were developed by Philip Whittaker during his career as ICT support teacher for AN. They take advantage of the talking computer facility that is now implemented widely (Clicker, Textease, Wordtalk). He’ll be using Clicker to demonstrate use of these materials to develop literacy by using overlearning of phonic patterns in an enjoyable way. There is some humour!

Note – Doorway Activities work with most browsers on most desktop computers. However because of restriction on Flash there may be difficulties on school networks that need to be fixed by consulting with the network admin. The activities work with Puffin Browser on iPads and Android devices.
An installation CD for Windows can be licensed, which avoids the use of an internet connection, and any restrictions on Flash.
