Faclair Beag, or Gaelic glossary is a glossary of specific Gaelic educational terms to aid practitioners, student teachers and translators in Gaelic education. It enables a consistent and correct approach to language use. This is particularly pertinent at this time of national educational reform in Scotland and the increased Gaelic professional learning opportunities. ‘S e cruinneachadh de bhriathrachas sònraichte, spèisealta do na cùrsaichean foghlam thidsear a tha seo a bhios feumail do dh'iomadach neach a tha an sàs ionnsachadh mu fhoghlam agus Gàidhlig. This is a Gaelic to English dictionary and is a collection of specialized vocabulary which was originally collated and created for Gaelic teacher education courses. The Faclair Beag will help users understand technical terms and ensure consistency across content pertaining to Gaelic education. It also aides translators by providing pre-approved specific terminology.

This poster is submitted as my Digital Artefact in support of my Associate Fellowship application. It presents the pedagogic rationale for using low-stakes quizzes in PGR teaching, alongside practical strategies for their implementation in both synchronous and asynchronous online environments. Drawing on my teaching practice, the poster outlines how quizzes can be used diagnostically to identify gaps in learning and formatively to support active engagement, check understanding, and provide timely feedback. It also highlights how carefully designed question types, such as MCQs and short-answer responses, can develop key analytical skills, including critical evaluation, application, and interpretation. The poster is informed by student feedback and indicative outcomes, demonstrating the effectiveness of quiz-based approaches in promoting interaction and supporting learning in virtual settings. Above all, the poster reflects an evidence-informed, learner-centred approach to digital pedagogy, aligned with the expectations of Associate Fellowship.
