What do grades really measure? Is there a more accurate indicator of our students’ skills and abilities? The traditional grading system used in higher education in the U.S. is often more a measure of privilege or personality than of learning. It also creates a competitive, chilly course climate that can undermine efforts to build community with students and positions instructors as gatekeepers, as opposed to partners.
In this session, we will introduce alternative strategies for indicating student learning that are more equitable, more accurate, and more effectively promote student agency and motivation. We will also discuss some simple changes instructors can make to their syllabus policies and course design that can increase grading equity and student engagement with the learning process. Please bring your syllabus to use in an interactive activity.

Video is a powerful way to humanize your online course and provide content in multiple formats which creates a more equitable experience for students. Screencast-o-matic is a simple-to-use video recording/editing tool. Studio is a Canvas integration that turns passive viewing into active engagement. Pair the two together and you’ve got the power to create dynamic learning experiences that capture—and hold—your students’ attention (with assessment built right in!). In this webinar, you’ll get a taste of what these two tools can offer and how to get started using this match made in heaven to power-up your course content.

What cues does your online course send to your students? Join Michelle Pacansky-Brock for a fireside chat with Maritez Apigo and Jennifer Ortiz about why cultivating trust in an online course is foundational to supporting our racially and culturally diverse students, especially in times of trauma. Do these cues cultivate psychological safety and trust for your racially minoritized and socially marginalized students? We will discuss strategies for building trust at a distance, as well as highlight deal-breakers that should be avoided.

Presenter: Fabiola Torres, Glendale College
Do you think humanizing an online course takes a lot of work? Well, it does. But it takes radical love to break down instructor-student hierarchies. Fabiola will share examples of brief, imperfect, captioned videos that help students sense there is a caring person on the other side of the screen and encourage them to lean in. We will also consider the important topic of managing your public digital identity when using instructional videos. You’ll see videos recorded with a smartphone using Clips (for Apple iOS devices only) and photomontages using Adobe Spark. Introverts and extroverts welcomed. This session will prepare you to create your own welcome video by the day’s end! Allow the love to shine through.

The weeks and days leading up to the start of a new term are filled with anxiety and nerves for many students. This term, your students will have even more questions about what to expect and how to get started. An equity-minded strategy to improve these barriers is to transform your syllabus into a Liquid Syllabus! A Liquid Syllabus is a mobile-friendly, public website with a friendly welcome video that is written with welcoming, validating language. While you may create a Liquid Syllabus using any website tool of your choice, this session will prepare you to create your own with Google Sites.

To navigate through these unknown and traumatic times, educators must be knowledgeable about how learning happens (and why it often does not). Recognizing the affective and cognitive dimensions of learning illuminates the need to understand our students as humans with rich, complicated stories and foster positive instructor-student relationships at a distance to ensure all students can achieve their full potential. This session will illuminate how humanized online teaching provides a foundation of trust you can build upon to foster positive instructor-student relationships and inspire engagement and rigor.
