Join us to see currently available software for student response systems. We invite anyone on campus interested in looking at the feature sets for these systems, and particularly individuals currently using a response system in their teaching, to attend one or more demo. Each vendor will set aside time for Q&A as part of their presentation.

Part one of this student panel, composed of current UVM undergraduate, will share student perspectives on grading and instructor feedback. The panelists will reflect on the experience and purpose of grading; the kinds of feedback they have received, how feedback has been useful, and not; and what faculty have done with feedback that promoted learning and confidence. The second part will be comprised of conversation and questions among attendees and panelists.

Perusall, which integrates with Blackboard (meaning no separate login needed), is a free collaborative annotation tool. Perusall has been shown to increase pre-class reading significantly (greater than 90% of students consistently complete readings in classes using this tool). Students (in small groups up to 20), collectively mark up readings with threaded questions and comments.

In Flipgrid, instructors post discussion prompts and students respond with short videos, whether they are learning in class or at home. In this workshop, you’ll see a demonstration of Flipgrid, participate in a Flipgrid discussion, and learn how to set it up. Flipgrid is available for free as part of UVM’s Microsoft Office 365 suite.

This workshop will show the ways to use group documents in Team channels for collaborative editing, how to run polls from Teams, how to create a Teams page, as well as the use of OneNote for instructor notes and student note-taking.

This workshop will show you how to set up the Blackboard Grade Center to make it work for you and keep students informed about their current grades. We’ll also show you how to verify its weighted grade calculations and how to troubleshoot problems.

In this workshop, we'll show how to set up a test, create questions, deploy it so students can take it, view results, and grade it. After covering the basics, we'll cover how to import test questions (from a Word file or from other tests) and build randomized question sets so students get different versions of the test.

During this live Q&A, you’ll have an opportunity to clarify questions and refine your knowledge of Screencast-O-Matic for increased confidence and independence in producing effective videos for your students. We can review any steps along the way from planning to recording to editing to sharing.

This workshop presents an overview of Transparency in Learning and Teaching in Higher Education (TILT), an award-winning, scholarly project focused on improving students’ learning experiences. Evidence from a national study shows that when faculty implement small changes to enhance transparency to the design of even just two assignments, there are statistically significant benefits for all students and even larger gains for first-generation students, low-income students, and students of color (Winkelmes et al., 2016).
