10:01:45 From Margaret Merrill (she | her) to Everyone: Dr. Janine L.F. Wilson: https://economics.ucdavis.edu/people/jflath 10:01:54 From Margaret Merrill (she | her) to Everyone: Live captions: To access the live captions provided by Zoom, select “Live Transcript” from the Zoom menu at the bottom of your screen, and then select “Show Subtitle.” If you prefer a running transcript, select “View Full Transcript.” 10:02:51 From bettina ngweno to Everyone: Thank you Janine 10:03:51 From Talitha (NPB she/her) to Everyone: Looks like my current quarter 10:04:47 From Margaret Merrill (she | her) to Everyone: For those just joining us, live captions are working this time: To access the live captions provided by Zoom, select “Live Transcript” from the Zoom menu at the bottom of your screen, and then select “Show Subtitle.” If you prefer a running transcript, select “View Full Transcript.” 10:07:15 From Andy Jones to Everyone: I love what Dr. Wilson says about flexibility and community-building. So many of us are, as Janine Wilson says, overloaded. A relevant quotation: “We have met the Devil of Information Overload and his impish underlings, the computer virus, the busy signal, the dead link, and the PowerPoint presentation.” James Gleick 10:11:53 From Margaret Merrill (she | her) to Everyone: Video overview of Canvas Discussion tool: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Video-Guide/Discussions-Overview-Instructors/ta-p/383769 10:12:37 From Talitha (NPB she/her) to Everyone: (saves chat) - thanks Margaret 10:13:07 From bettina ngweno to Everyone: I loved the stepped approach of the discussion assignments 10:14:19 From VIctoria Cross to Everyone: I think that Canvas can keep the students in smaller groups for the discussion. You can set it so that they are only responsible for reading / responding to the same dozen other students all quarter. Make the ‘room’ feel less large and overwhelming. 10:15:23 From Joe Anistranski to Everyone: ^I use Canvas group set all kinds of different ways, if people are curious. I also have a lot to say about rubrics and discussions, which Canvas does not "do" as well as it should at this point. 10:15:43 From Margaret Merrill (she | her) to Everyone: About Speedgrader in Canvas: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Basics-Guide/What-is-SpeedGrader/ta-p/13 10:16:39 From Andy Jones to Everyone: “My big project is not in week 10 anymore. I’ve made that mistake before.” 10:17:50 From Miriam Martin to Everyone: ^^relatable 10:18:07 From Joe Anistranski to Everyone: @Andy a teaching riddle, of sorts: How can we make every project a big project, but have students only do small projects? 10:18:28 From Talitha (NPB she/her) to Everyone: big project week 10 - hear hear 10:19:03 From Andy Jones to Everyone: We should create a growing Google doc on assignments and approaches that we will keep once we return to face-to-face instruction (such as the Wilson video presentation project). 10:19:09 From Miriam Martin to Everyone: Does these courses fulfill a writing GE? 10:20:58 From Margaret Merrill (she | her) to Everyone: About Gradescope: https://keepteaching.ucdavis.edu/teach/gradescope 10:21:26 From Bwalya Lungu to Everyone: Can you read those hand written assignments? 10:21:58 From Mark Verbitsky to Everyone: You can zoom in on the writing in Gradescope. It's pretty legible. 10:22:19 From Andy Jones to Everyone: “If you have not played with Gradescope, I highly recommend that you do so.” Janine Wilson 10:22:23 From Miriam Martin to Everyone: I tell the students that if we can’t read it, we can’t grade it, and we convince them on the first assignment that we aren’t bluffing. 10:22:49 From Talitha (NPB she/her) to Everyone: <3 10:22:49 From Erik Fausak to Everyone: I wonder how this method of using discussion in Canvas compares to Perusall or Kami? Is one easier to implement and point into points for the class? 10:23:20 From Erik Fausak to Everyone: Or each has its own place? 10:23:40 From Mark Verbitsky to Everyone: I don't know what those other platforms are. Gradescope is now connected to our Canvas courses. Are those others? 10:24:38 From Erik Fausak to Everyone: Sorry, from the past piece, on using discussions for points based on reading assignments 10:25:53 From Miriam Martin to Everyone: YES…push these two scanning apps…so many problems with other scanners 10:26:31 From Margaret Merrill (she | her) to Everyone: Next Tuesday, during our first-ever ATS Ed Tech Week, we’ll be having a live session on getting started with Gradescope - please join us! https://wheel.ucdavis.edu/edtechweek 10:26:55 From Miriam Martin to Everyone: Totally agree…learning to ask for allowances is straight out of hidden curriculum 10:27:24 From Laci Gerhart-Barley to Everyone: For those who haven’t used Gradescope, I started a short guide to the settings and how to use it in different types of assignments and courses: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mTTLsQeX8SpBWIVadFvT4Cs1D_WBfPVeqBhb7Uc3n24/edit 10:27:41 From Andy Jones to Everyone: What a wonderful resource, Laci! Thanks so much. 10:27:58 From Kem Saichaie to Everyone: Thanks Laci! 10:27:59 From Melinda Livas to Everyone: Janine, that is so spot on. Often when meeting with students, some don't feel comfortable seeking additional time to complete assignments. 10:28:07 From Laci Gerhart-Barley to Everyone: We did one for Canvas too: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lZKTh03diN0o4qAqBlDLodRACnz9mZGCzRAo5ZOSMHk/edit 10:28:49 From Mark Verbitsky to Everyone: @Laci are those viewable by anyone? I click and it says I need to request access (but my chrome is linked with gmail not ucdavis) 10:29:11 From Miriam Martin to Everyone: @Laci - ur rock star 10:29:16 From Laci Gerhart-Barley to Everyone: They both are open to any UCD email address 10:29:17 From Talitha (NPB she/her) to Everyone: I had to login to ucd then was fine 10:29:43 From Joe Anistranski to Everyone: So, don't students _need_ to use college as a place to practice the important life/work skill of asking for what they need? I definitely view this a little bit differently--as something that we need to explain and teach to students (if they want to navigate a career in a Western context, at least). 10:30:36 From bettina ngweno to Everyone: probably we should teach it but we shouldn’t make our class access dependent on it 10:30:36 From Miriam Martin to Everyone: Tip: show examples of good, bad (hard to read, tiny, outside the indicated are), ugly writing examples 10:30:47 From Joan Frank to Everyone: Just a note on due dates/time. Set earlier deadlines than midnight! This way they’ll not lose sleep. Many work toward deadlines…make it 9pm! 10:31:06 From Miriam Martin to Everyone: ^yes, I”m trying to promote life balance by not encouraging those late nights 10:31:32 From Miriam Martin to Everyone: (it’s hard to not do late nights myself! lol) 10:33:17 From VIctoria Cross to Everyone: RE: deadlines. How about ‘due on Monday at 11:59. Available until Tuesday at 10am’ — It wells us to add a free grace period while embracing their familiarity with 11:59 as ‘the’ deadline. 10:34:03 From Joe Anistranski to Everyone: @Tor, Similarly, I'm thinking about 9 a.m. deadlines for the fall--essentially, "it needs to be there when we start our workday." 10:35:08 From Miriam Martin to Everyone: My approach has been to allow a minimum of 2 days (1 week for worksheets) and then call it by the end of a normal work day. 10:35:19 From Talitha (NPB she/her) to Everyone: Is grade scope also a good tool for an a assignment that is “make a schematic of X and label it”. I did have pretty good success with rubrics in canvas using speed grader. 10:35:24 From VIctoria Cross to Everyone: @Joe - seriously, use the Jedi mind trick of ‘due’ the night before and ‘grace’ until 9am. 10:35:37 From Miriam Martin to Everyone: @talitha —YES! I have them do sketches, calculations, etc 10:36:05 From Joe Anistranski to Everyone: @Tor, yes, I think that's how I'll do it! 10:36:05 From Miriam Martin to Everyone: @tor - love that…deadline, with grace. 10:36:13 From Laci Gerhart-Barley to Everyone: @Talitha - yes, in the grading, you can even draw on their schematic to correct or respond to it 10:38:09 From Miriam Martin to Everyone: @talitha - the rubric is so much easier to apply in Gradescope, and seems to be easier for students to see than in SpeedGrader 10:38:38 From Laci Gerhart-Barley to Everyone: ^totally agree. Gradescope is MUCH easier for students to see the feedback. 10:38:40 From Mark Verbitsky to Everyone: You can even use hotkeys to assign rubric grade and shift to the next student's response, so you can grade serially really quickly. 10:38:56 From Bwalya Lungu to Everyone: For a 300 plus class, how much time did you spend on grading via Canvas. I know you mentioned that it did not take long? On average how long is did not take long 10:39:26 From Bwalya Lungu to Everyone: For those assignments within assignments in the discussion 10:40:26 From Miriam Martin to Everyone: @Mark…absolutely. And it was easy to track and provide feedback on writing that was not readable, etc. The one problem with Gradescope is that automatic penalties for late assignments are not applied to scores that come over from Gradescope into Grades 10:41:24 From Miriam Martin to Everyone: Title of our next collaborative book (or this thread): Adventures in grading 10:41:52 From Talitha (NPB she/her) to Everyone: Haha, yes my students watch me on double speed, noting they WOULD slow down when I was making a joke. 10:42:04 From Laci Gerhart-Barley to Everyone: On double speed, I sound like a chipmunk 10:42:16 From Miriam Martin to Everyone: ^on 1x, I sound like a chipmunk lol 10:42:20 From Mark Verbitsky to Everyone: On normal speed, I sound like I'm on double speed 10:42:22 From Miriam Martin to Everyone: esp after coffee 10:42:27 From Margaret Merrill (she | her) to Everyone: ^ Haha! 10:42:31 From Mark Verbitsky to Everyone: Maybe 1.5x 10:42:46 From Joe Anistranski to Everyone: Re: my question before, I try to structure the "asking" process for students (with tech!) via a template in Google docs, which you can iterate and use in your courses: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Ru5j_C6fVUKvtXodX4hpo62tOUjA4-DI_ZQot3D94tA/edit?usp=sharing 10:42:53 From Mark Wilson to Everyone: For those interested learning more about Gradescope, you may want to join a webinar during next week’s Ed Tech Week events https://wheel.ucdavis.edu/edtechweek 10:43:13 From Miriam Martin to Everyone: thanks to the KYS transcript analysis I learned that I speak almost as quickly as a TED talker 10:43:47 From Miriam Martin to Everyone: @joe…that is great! 10:44:11 From Kem Saichaie to Everyone: Grading for Equity is an interesting read: Grading for Equity - link to Library https://www.library.ucdavis.edu/guide/center-for-educational-effectiveness-cee-resources/ 

p. 72 has a great summary of practices. 10:44:22 From bettina ngweno to Everyone: @Joe l like the question template you suggest 10:45:44 From Steve Faith to Everyone: I fear Tor now! 10:46:37 From Margaret Merrill (she | her) to Everyone: Please join us for our next session at 11am with Tor Cross! Register here: https://ucdavis.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJAsfumrpjotHNHzVz-W1K7yHZ5eXjfvg6TI 10:46:51 From Margaret Merrill (she | her) to Everyone: **SITT 2021 Feedback Survey** https://bit.ly/SITT2021eval Please provide ATS with your feedback! You can go back and edit your responses throughout SITT. 10:46:59 From Miriam Martin to Everyone: So hard to know if it’s better to help them learn to be adults by letting them learn the hard way not to wait until the last minute…or is it better to train/model work during normal hours, and force them to be done in time to sleep. And maybe that shifts between their first year and last. 10:47:00 From Mark Verbitsky to Everyone: Are there any upcoming talks that address Policies that Allow Flexibility While Nudging Good Decisions? 10:47:01 From Joe Anistranski to Everyone: Also, our students are developmentally more likely to have an eveningness preference (sleep/wake; diurnal rhythms) than we are, which means they're probably working differently at late hours than we are. So, what Tor is saying makes a lot of sense re: deadlines and flexibility. 10:47:02 From Bwalya Lungu to Everyone: I think students have a choice of when to do assignment and hand it in. So responsibility lies with them. So I keep mine at 11:59pm. However, my assignment durations are longer. I don’t offer grade periods because my students usually have longer times to complete and hand in assignments 10:47:02 From Joan Frank to Everyone: Thank you Victoria! 10:47:44 From Talitha (NPB she/her) to Everyone: To remember - have a deadline and a grace period with different “day” times. That way students can have their sleep. 10:48:30 From Lillian Jones to Everyone: 🐦 @Lily_Jones20 10:48:30 From Margaret Merrill (she | her) to Everyone: Please join us for our next session at 11am with Tor Cross! Register here: https://ucdavis.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJAsfumrpjotHNHzVz-W1K7yHZ5eXjfvg6TI 10:48:36 From Lillian Jones to Everyone: (^ yea, it’s something like that) 10:49:09 From Joe Anistranski to Everyone: Thank you! 10:49:13 From Rob Furrow to Everyone: Thank you! 10:49:18 From Kem Saichaie to Everyone: Thank you! 10:49:18 From Joshua Hori to Everyone: Thank you!
