Contracts run the risk of centering grades even more than traditional grading
Oh, yes! It also makes the learner/teacher interaction quite transactional. Yet it probably makes it easier to spend less time discussing grades.

Interesting implication about rubrics. Advocates do find them humane. Yet it's probably fair to say that not all rubrics appear humane to those who are submitted to them.

In a service learning course, this community expands even further beyond the boundaries of the class
I feel there's something profound, here. Grades are primarily about individual achievement in an environment which is deemed to be competitive. Even in teamwork, there's often a notion that each individual's grade is more important than the team's success (which is part of the challenge of teaching teamwork). Peer-assessment can be pretty powerful. ... and becomes quite impactful in a community context. Learners whose work is directly embedded in a community setting often receive deeper feedback than grades. In some cases (such as university-supported Community Service Learning), they may receive partial course credit for volunteering.

It's so very surprising when you find out that the question bears asking. Yet, like Mannan, I've been in situations where UX and/or HCD people have needed to ponder that question.

Students, just like us
Funny that, though the sentiment behind the statement is about empathy and inclusiveness, the wording makes it sound like there's a category difference between “us” and “them”. I guess the reason it strikes me is that we're talking about basic human needs and “students are humans too” feels a bit weird, to me.

I would much rather my students read one chapter closely, so that they’re able to understand its central concepts and discuss them in class, than skim three chapters and barely remember what they read
Reminds me of a shift I've done based on student feedback... In a course evaluation for one particular semester of my Material Culture course, someone said that I had assigned too many texts for what we did with them. Had it been a complaint about the burden of reading all of these texts, my reaction would have been quite different. In that case, it'd have been about learners using these texts efficiently instead of spending so much time reading them. In this case, though, it was constructive criticism about the fact that we didn't do enough with these texts to justify the load. So, the next semester, I reduced the reading list to one text per week and we really dug through each of them. That's a technique I kept using for several courses.
Another technique I've used, which is pretty much the mirror opposite: I list a large number of texts each week and each learner is responsible for one of those. Then, as learners work together, they get a bite out of each text and all of this material contributes significant to the week's topic. That technique is rather tricky. It's not one to enhance student satisfaction. It does have some important advantages, especially in terms of making learners responsible for their own process. Which is contrary to the customer-based approach.

what our students need — all of the time really but especially during a pandemic — is quality, not quantity

All of which means my courses this academic year are covering a lot less material than they normally would.

In lieu of a four-year college, 16 percent of parents said they were interested in non-college vocational training and 22 percent said they preferred to see their children consider an array of other options, including starting a business, joining the military, getting a job or doing community service. Only 8 percent of parents said they would prefer a two-year community college, where more than a third of U.S. college students are enrolled and which also offer many vocational degrees and programs.
In a strange way, perhaps, this could be a shift in the customer-based approach in U.S. colleges? Parents are the primary customers and it sounds like a significant proportion of them want a different product. Learners themselves are quite a different story, whether or not they're the ones who end up paying for their studies.

r intellectual property has always been kind of just little a little bit muddy in terms of colleges because there's colleges are different than the universities in terms of collective bargaining rights colleges have one collective bargaining agreement and within that whole collective bargaining agreement there is some language around intellectual property
Possibly another piece of the puzzle. During a recent (late March 2021) event, Mélanie Brunet (uO librarian with a strong OER dossier) was mentioning differences between provinces in terms of IP. There's probably something there.
-

Almost Maker culture or, at least, a kind of "if it doesn't exist, just build it".
-
a French context is very fertile grounds in terms of building open educational resources
There might even be a philosophical backdrop for it.
-
what's happening at the college level which is a bit different than at the university level
Another important point. Our college-based network is leading some OER initiatives, these days. Partly because our needs are quite specific. Most of the OER scene focuses on universities (or merges colleges and universities, since they are very similar in some contexts).
-
not as as much approached by publishers to use their textbooks
While it's probably true overall, there must be some variability across disciplines. For instance, even though I've mostly been teaching in English (since last century), I've rarely been approached by publishers. When reps did approach me, incentives were either vague or almost laughable.
In fact... one case has been a key turning point in my life. A publisher offered me a gift certificate for Tim Horton (sic) if I adopted a textbook chapter (?) in my class. I notified the textbook author, who happened to be bestknown for his critical approach to something very similar. While my sending that email was a relatively insignificant gesture, a friend remarked that it was what I could do in my “sphere of agency”. That comment was important to me and the notion of a “sphere of agency” has remained relevant.
-
a French institution is kind of interested in terms of sharing materials and open educational materials because there's way less opportunities for us to work with publisher materials there's just not the same amount of resources out there
One key hunch about differences between language communities.

That's very strategic. Almost like the positive/active side of "show me the rule which says I can't do it". It's the "here's the rule which says I'm supposed to do it".

-

Combining the OER push with some unbundling, perhaps?
-
faculty should always first look to no-cost options rather than publishers and consider the feasibility of open educational resources when they're assigning learning materials
Some might say that enforcement is the key, and it probably has to do with syllabus review. It's also about a support system, creating a network effect.

Online Social Annotation: Interpretation is Social
Not only is there a long tradition of scholarship about social interpretation through marginalia, one might even argue that it's the very basis of scholarship, at least based on the Talmud. Such was part of a lecture by Johannes Fabian, summarizing his work in Ethnography as Interpretation. Interestingly, three of us did some form of online annotation of that very lecture. Maximilian Forte's post goes pretty deep in the meta.

Even in remote learning, there's a lot to be said about the flipped classroom. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guA21RgRcSg&t=91s

moving away from student work as a thing to be “collected,” might actually prove best at creating intrinsic motivation to do the work of a course.
There must be a wealth of research on this. Admins and Old School teachers are quite likely to claim that only some students are intrinsically motivated and that a behaviourist carrot/stick extrinsic motivation is the only way to make them do what's good for them. Yet I'm also convinced that there's a wealth of solid evidence behind this notion that we can help learners develop their own intrinsic motivation by shifting the "reward system" to the thing itself. I keep going back to the gym analogy. Usually because of the sense of entitlement demonstrated by many customer-like students. It also works here: the work of a fitness coach builds intrinsic motivation, even if it addresses external rewards.
-
Metacognition is a practical skill that cuts across disciplines.
Yes, and... Like critical thinking, it's quite distinctive of HigherEd, in practice. Sure, most learning theories emphasize metacognition at one point or another. As a practical skill, though, it's quite difficult to develop through whole groups in most mainstream public education systems before college. (Yes, there are alternative systems where it's pushed since childhood and might work "at scale". My high school experience was actually one of those: a semi-alternative school in a local school board).
-
requires administrators and institutions to defend the academic freedom of teachers, especially adjuncts).
Precisely. Out of nine institutions, I almost never had administrators who'd support even a discussion of such an approach. While I've typically enjoyed my status of "Contingent Academic Labour" and never felt any "academic freedom" issue in terms of the academic content, this is one dimension where my lack of "teaching freedom" has been an issue. At one institution where I taught one specific course, I did have an administrator who was ok with my being lenient in grading. And there was one administrator at another institution who defended my teaching freedom around an issue which wasn't directly related to grading. Overall, though, most administrators in those nine organizations weren't very supportive of even discussing teaching practice apart from what's in their internal model or in official documentation.
-
easy, because “where they stood” in the course never felt arbitrary or mysterious.
Interesting interpretation of that comment. Had I received such feedback, I wouldn't react the same way in the least. With pressure around "grade inflation" (perceived as a problem in itself instead of a symptom of a deeper problem), I would have felt guilt and shame over such a comment.
Thankfully, nobody said to my face (or in course evaluations) that any of my courses was an easy A. I did get former students comment on the fact that one of my courses (especially in cultural anthropology) had been easy for them because they had already developed a clear understanding of the core material. Yet those who got an A in a class I taught never said that it was easy to do so.
Of course, Stommel's interactions with the student probably clarifies what was meant, especially if the comment was paired with the student's name.
-
observed a distinct gender imbalance
Been expecting the same and didn't really observe it. The imbalance I did perceive had more to do with an "attitude", which doesn't vary that much by gender in places where I've taught. It's not even so much about a sense of self-worth, though that does play a part. It's more about the emphasis on grades, which remains in my classes (because I never went as far as Stommel did).
-
I reserve the right to change grades as appropriate
Same here (for a self-assessment which usually amounts to 20% of the final grade, because rules). Initially, I'd modify a few grades, mostly by increasing them. Eventually, changes in those grades became really rare.
-
students as complex and deeply committed to their education
While the prevailing model tends to emphasize "potential", stratification, and control. While marketing constructs are deeply problematic, the frequent valuation of flexible paths by members of a given "generation" (basically, young adults at a certain point in time) goes well with "the world in which our graduates will live". It's been discussed in so many ways and bears repeating: we apply ideas from Old School HR to people who are entering (or going back to) a workforce which challenges diverse HR models.
-
necessary conversations

-

-
Students are increasingly conditioned to work within a system that emphasizes objective measures of performance, ranking, and quantitative marks

Which goes well with the "learners as products" model.

Been advocating something similar for quite a while. In fact, I distinctly remember discussing something like this while I was at UNB Fredericton for an intersession, back in 2003. Maybe my memory's off and I'm compounding two distinct events. Still, I'm quite sure it's something I've discussed while teaching in an English-speaking institution (since that's mostly where I've taught).
Interesting that it'd be associated with Francophone colleges.

Part-time students spent a lower amount on direct course costs than full-time students (£447 and £519 respectively), although these costs accounted for a larger proportion of part-time students’ spending (14 per cent compared with sixper cent). As with full-time students, their largest items of expenditure were computers (£228) then printing, photocopying and stationery (£104) followed by books (£77) andother equipment (£22;Table 5.5).

Full-time students spent the most on computers (£258), followed by printing, photocopying and stationery (£107) and books (£105) and least on other equipment (£33)as shown in Table 5.5.
-
Across all full-time students the average amount spent on direct course costs such as books, computers and equipment was £519 and for part-time students the figure was £447. The majority of full-time students reported having direct course costs, and the average spend for these students was £535 on direct course costs. Across full-timers, those studying creative arts, languages or humanities reported the highest expenditure on direct course costs of £857on average. The majority of part-time students also incurred direct course costs. Those who did incur these costs spent slightly less than full-time students on average, £478. The largest contributor to direct course costsfor both full-time and part-time studentswere computers.

Digital, it’s now everything we do!
A key lesson from Canada's federal public service, which also resonates at the provincial level. Everything we do is somehow digital, whether or not we want to emphasize that.
It also helps contextualize the digital standards behind the Government of Canada. It's much more about change management and design thinking than about tools.
There might be some lesson for hybrid pedagogy, somewhere in there...

Maha: [00:27:10] Like trying to bring out whatever elements of difference we have in the class and trying to see if people are willing to talk about that and bring that up and make it part of our identity. Like one of the things I do in my classes is ask my students to do an alternative CV at the beginning with class. This is an activity we developed for digital writing month. And it’s about presenting yourself, not with what degrees you have or whatever that you do for regular CV, but how you want people to know you. And I don’t specify what students need to say. And some of them say a lot of really interesting things about themselves and reveal those things about themselves and it makes a difference in the class.
Ha! Found it! Adopted and adapted this activity for use in one of my courses, calling it “Cultural Curriculum” («curriculum culturel», ANT3540 Cultures & sociétés was one of the few courses I taught in French). The relevant slide is still online. The Moodle assignment isn't, partly because uO switched to Brightspace right after that semester.

WellAlwaysHaveParis il y a 7 ans • Testament to the power of the Internet...Leonard Bernstein has been dead for 23 years, and yet his knowledge, insight and wisdom perpetually echo forward for future generations. This video was probably lost in an attic somewhere before somebody decided to drop it on YouTube. It warms my heart that 59,000+ people have seen it.
Recordings from the whole lecture series by “born teacher” Leonard Bernstein has been “making the rounds”, thanks in part to YouTubers like Adam Neely who has been linking to those videos in descriptions of some of his episodes.
Part of the reason the series interests me for its #PedagogicalHeritage is that it extend Bernstein’s role, who’s been mostly known as a composer and conductor. These really are lectures, delivered on campus. At the beginning of the first lecture, Bernstein explicitly described his relationship to Harvard and his being “petrified” at lecturing there. His outside status is important. In music, it’s not uncommon for lectures to be given by renowned musical experts without the academic #credentials which usually serve to “qualify” a prof. According to his bio (archive), LB was a visiting prof at Brandeis in the 1950s. When he delivered those lectures on campus, he was “Charles Eliot Norton Professor of Poetry at Harvard”. The lectures were a significant part of the deal. There’s a direct continuity between the lecturer’s experience and the delivery of “teaching material”. In another context, the research behind those lectures might not have qualified a prof for tenure.
There’s quite a bit about prestige to unpack, there. And more than a little about “The Canon”. If I use excerpts from this series in my teaching, I’ll likely start from that: who was Bernstein? Why does it matter that we hear his voice instead of somebody else’s? What learning affordances from these recordings, including the musical examples performed on the piano? The context would likely be my beloved ethnomusicology course. Otherwise, some kind of course about “broad approaches to music theorization”.
What strikes me in this comment (and in the “well, actually…” reply) is the very notion that the Internet gives us access to something valuable. Yet this access might be taken away at a moment’s notice (the ways of the DMCA are impenetrable). Yes, DVDs exist and the content might be retrieved. It’s technically possible to make backups of those videos. Yet the 5Rs of Open Content aren’t obvious, here.
Although, Neely did remix some of the content.

federico amato il y a 3 ans • hey, Bernstein died in 1990.....thats 17 years now....14 years when you wrote the comment. the video is availiable to purchase all over the world.

Deconstructing Prensky’s argument
I keep going back to things I used to teach in #CyberspaceSociology. The notion of a #DigitalNative still bothers me and the alternative from Le Cornu & White still inspires me. Some argue that Prensky's 2001 article was important when it came out, as a wakeup call to teachers. I get that. Especially with those who may not have fully grasped that younger learners have different approaches to appropriating digital tools. I just find the original text deeply flawed when used as though it were the result of robust academic research. And the notional distinction ends up erasing important differences between learners who were born the same year.

Talking About Things - Michael Silverstein
Item for #OEweek 2021 Voices from Beyond: Michael Silverstein #OE2021vfb
I would use this video in a broad course on language sciences, at the time we would move from established notions of languages as systems to culturally-sensitive language theories, probably in the second class meeting.
Michael Silverstein passed away last Summer. Having learners hear his voice would bring life to his words. Were this content fully open, I would likely remix the track containing Silverstein's voice, without the background music, and get learners to add comments about their own experiences.

You’re asking them to think deliberately about a particular perspective on a topic, the relevance of each piece to that perspective, the validity of each source, and its appropriateness for the audience.

People are getting increasingly interested in digital literacy. It's useful to remember that much of that is based on media literacy and that we have useful organizations which help with both.

Students can curate individually or collaboratively.
As learning exercises, both are incredibly valuable... And probably quite distinct. My reflex is to overuse the "think/pair/share" model. "Start curating on your own; exchange notes with a classmate; share with the whole group." In this case, there's a lot to be said about jumping into collaboration right away. A bit like an #AnnotationFlashMob, just for the curation side.
-
sharing it on a cloud-based platform.
Interesting that tools would come up at this stage. Chances are, someone's curation toolkit will cover all the steps and there are some tools which integrate several of these. Refworks, Zotero, and Mendeley might be interesting examples in that they allow for cloud sharing yet focus on the information management.
-
organizing it;
To my mind, this step might easily merge with the selection process.
-
online curation is:
The most prominent example of this type of online curation, in my personal experience as a teacher, is curating reading lists for my university courses.
In some cases (more "traditional"), this list is part of the syllabus and coursepack that I distribute ahead of the semester so it's something that I would do in the Summer or during a Winter break. Having taught several courses on a short notice (getting the contract a couple of weeks before the semester starts), I've fine-tuned my technique to be as efficient as possible. Some of my reading lists were better than others and a few were really solid. Teaching with such a reading list is quite a joy. Much more so than teaching from a textbook. At one point, I stopped having printed coursepacks. I simply give links to the fulltext articles available through #OpenAccess or through the databases to which the university's library is subscribed. A few students complained early on but it does mean that they don't have to purchase text material for the course. The reason it's important to me does have to do with the cost of higher education. It's also about shifting the role of text resources. We use these texts to do some work together. It's not like these texts are "transmitting the knowledge" to learners' brains.
So, that's my more traditional pattern: a syllabus with a list of links to articles (typically PDFs) that I distributed before the semester starts.
In other cases (my "enhanced" practice), it's something I do every week, based on what has happened in the course. And I do mean a full reading list each week. Class members choose the text on which they want to focus. Though several of them expect me to be "the sage on the stage" who will lead them to that one nugget of wisdom they will have to "retain", a shift happens once they take ownership of those reading choices. That practice is quite timeconsuming and it doesn't necessarily improves my teaching in obvious ways. It's rewarding in other ways. (I sometimes ask learners to find resources on their own, which really deepens the learning process. It requires a significant level of autonomy that they might not reveal during a given semester, even if they have significant experience as university students).
My routine of building weekly reading lists also means that I got quite a bit of practice at this.
Typically, I start the collecting with a "forward citation search" in Web of Knowledge, Scopus, or Google Scholar. I often know this one key article which is likely to have been cited by a number of authors more recently. I collect as many of those as possible and some patterns emerge. Quite frequently, there would be subtopics that I rearrange. It might send me in a "rabbithole". Which is ok. I'm in a discovery mode. And some of the texts which fall under my radar at that point become relevant at a further point.
In other words, I often cast a wide net during the collection phase.
The selection process is mostly a matter or rearranging the reading list so that the first few items cover enough of the range of subtopics. Sometimes, my lists remain quite long, which means that learners have more choice (which is uncomfortable enough to help them learn). It also involves an organization phase.
Summarizing the significance of the collection is the basis for my presentation of the list to the class. My description of the collection is the moment in a class meeting during which I switch to lecture mode. If I do it at the end of the class meeting (or just before the break), students are likely to pay less attention, even though it's typically short. If I do If I do it before discussing the items for the current week, it gets a bit confusing. So it often works best if I present this list after we've worked through the previous ones but before some kind of activity which links the two topics.
As for sharing in the cloud, I typically do this through the LMS I'm using in that institutions. I've tried more public methods but they weren't that effective.
All this to say... I could probably optimize my method.
-
summarizing its significance for the collection;
Part of what's interesting here is that it isn't necessarily about summarizing each text, as might be done in preparation for a literature review. It allows for more distance from the individual resources. And it's about what makes the collection itself relevant. Since the assessment of resource's relevance has been done, it sounds more like putting the puzzle pieces together and describing the picture which emerges.
In practice, it's bound to be a cyclical process in many instances. You've built much of the puzzle and find out that you're missing some pieces so you go search for more. And your searches become increasingly directed, like concentric circles.
This phase in the curation process also sounds like thematic analysis, à la Braun & Clarke, although the collection isn't quite like a corpus. Maybe the two methods are complementary.
-
selecting the most relevant or interesting information;
There's a pragmatic dimension to the selection process: some of these resources might only be appropriate in specific usage so it's probably important to focus on the curation's endgoal. For instance, a primary account full of inaccuracies might be quite useful to gain insight on someone's perspective, albeit flawed.
-
purposefully collecting online content on a given topic
The collection phase is topical and not haphazard. Which might not mean that topics are welldefined in advance or that the collecting is itself selective. It might also be useful to "sideload" content from semi-directed environmental scans. "These are resources which came under my radar while I was getting a lay of the land."

The individual is helpless socially, if left by himself. Even the association of the members of one's own family fails to satisfied that desire which every normal individual has of being with his fellows, of being a part of a larger group than the family. If he comes into contact with his neighbors, there will be an accumulation of social capital, which may immediately satisfy his social needs and which may bear a social potentiality sufficient for the substantial improvement of life in the whole community. The community as a whole will benefit by the cooperation of all its parts, while the individual will find in his associations the advantages of the help, the sympathy, and the fellowship of his neighbors. First, then, there must be an accumulation of community social capital. Such accumulation may be effected by means of public entertainments, picnics, and a variety of other community gatherings. When the people of a given community have become acquainted with one another and have formed a habit of coming together occasionally for entertainment, social intercourse, and personal enjoyment, then by skillful leadership this social capital may easily be directed towards the general improvement of the community well-being.

We did a study, many many years ago in education, about the importance and the role of technology in the classroom, how can it help with the education process. The result of this education research we did was that the students who succeed are the ones who are most engaged, which is really simple.
This ‘graph might be the key to something rather deep about Apple in education. And about Old School EdTech.
People are focusing on Schiller’s comment about Chromebooks, yet this reference to an old study is perhaps more revealing.

because of this spyware pixel, most of the people they are collecting information on aren’t even Superhuman customers and never even signed up for this policy
This point is where Vohra’s post is probably the weakest. Most of the reaction is about protecting the company’s customers (brought in by invitation). But the company has a social responsibility towards email recipients from whom they collect information, even if they’re not customers of this specific service.
-
Remember that they require full access to your Gmail in order to do their thing.
Not to be flippant but isn’t Gmail use training people to “just give up”? Any second-party email service already has access to your full email account and some are using that to track complex patterns of behaviours which they can then use to get deeper insight on large populations, especially through the aforementioned triangulation. A little bit like the precedent from the business’s perspective, this is also about “well, I already allow Google to track me, so who cares?”. In the process of weaning myself away from Google products, dropping Gmail was a major part of my switch in mindframe. It was originally based on the fact that my account was full, but it quickly allowed me to venture out of this Google bubble. “Oh, right! I could simply not use it… Google doesn’t own me!” Gmail was also one of the easiest to drop (I use my own email server and I have email accounts from different organizations where I work). In a way, I feel privileged that I don’t need to use Gmail. Not that it requires much technical knowledge but it does mean that I haven’t been forced into Gmail by others.
-
I can avoid their service
Again, as an email recipient, avoiding the service is trickier. Sure, it sounds like we should all avoid loading images, even from known senders. But this isn’t very empowering.
