@katiemattaini "Ungrading" means raising an eyebrow at grades as a systemic practice, distinct from simply “not grading.” The word is a present participle, an ongoing process, not a static set of practices. It’s dialogue, an active interrogation, assessment done with students and not to them.

Why are so many faculty developer roles all about tech? I want to help with the deep introspection and intention that has to come before tech. I want to talk about our teaching how and why, before HTML. I want to co-create time, and space, and place, and care, for this cause.

Dear online educators, please add descriptions of students you’ve had who rely on online classes. Each of these represents a demographic of humans that F2F courses don’t serve (as well). Ex: My student who stutters & did her first ever prez she was proud of using asynch voice. …

“It isn’t just that extrinsic motivation is different from the intrinsic kind, or even that it’s inferior to intrinsic, although both statements are true. What I want to emphasize is that extrinsic motivation is likely to erode intrinsic motivation.” ~ @alfiekohn

How to overcome Zoom’s algorithmic bias

"If less vocal students only see a subset of more vocal students on their first screen, what message does this send about who is more or less valued in the class?" https://t.co/6mU1txrySJ
