Doplnil jsem ke kurzům, které jsem vytvořil pro Apify, testy, aby mi pravidelně kontrolovaly, jestli jsou v nich praktická cvičení funkční.

Testy běhají moc pěkně, takže jsem to teda opravdu zjistil, jestli jsou ta praktická cvičení funkční…

Just designed a survey to learn about the incoming class for Spring, asking them basic questions like group work, yes or no, and are they interested in reading a novel as part of course homework

We'll see if anyone answers, but at least I *tried*

I am redesigning my course and want to do an overhaul with linking assessments, resources etc. to appropriate course learning outcomes.
The templates I come across are Word documents with tables. Seems like a better format/program for this would exist by now?
I imagine a program with color text blocks that I can easily move around and match to the outcomes rather than copy/paste text in a table.
Suggestions? :boost_requested:

One of my course design goals this semester is to have all the course content assembled into a single PDF so that students and myself can have an archive of the class in one spot after the semester is over.

Since I use #emacs and org docs, I can write separate org files per assignment or reading item and either link to them directly on GitLab but also create an org file for the "book" and include the different pages, which I can then export to PDF.

Michael Feldstein's project explores how AI can streamline course design for educators, potentially saving significant time and effort. By using AI tools like ALDA, educators might soon have innovative assistants. This aligns with my belief that AI should augment human expertise, yet ethical implications remain crucial.

What online learning environments do you & your students favour when it comes to mainly asynchronous teaching with some synchronous interaction (eg forums/discussion boards)?

Currently re-evaluating teaching & learning experiences with Moodle-based platforms, Blackboard, Canvas, Google classroom, Adobe ...

What works for you & why?

Thank you 🙏🏽

I have found that fewer students are completing #studentcourseevaluations #SETs (which are awfully flawed + not very helpful). A few years ago I started sending out my own surveys via Google Forms (template you can copy at the link!) to ask students questions that help me prepare for the next semester & make real improvements to my #coursedesign and #coursedelivery https://higheredpraxis.substack.com/p/tip-better-student-evaluations

Finished the syllabus for my first ever #Course that I’ll be #Teaching in winter. Took SO MUCH work as I tried my best to put a lot of thought and care into it. I hope it’s received well ☺️ #teaching #pedagogy #coursedesign #socMastodon #SocMasto #sociology #family #sociologyoffamily

I just read a call for "Humanizing online teaching and learning."
I think that is very to the point: Most of online teaching & learning IS inhumane, unappealing, ineffective, and demotivating. The problem is not tech, though - it is content & #didactics (#pedagogy/learning method).We must up our game!
We at @qomenius believe that the solution lies in the triad of discourse learning: https://www.qomenius.com/post/triad

I'm going to try an #introduction.
Let's see: I'm passionate about #teaching and #learning in #highered. I support #faculty in their teaching at #umich. My phd is in #politicalscience from Emory.

Let's talk about #activelearning, #ScienceOfLearning, equity-focused and inclusive teaching (#DEI), teaching in #publicpolicy and political science, #coursedesign, etc.

Of course, I'm always game for fascinating animal facts, adorable/fluffy pets, #cooking and #baking in my social media. :-)
