Hybrid Pedagogy is proud to announce publication of Undoing the Grade: Why We Grade, and How to Stop by Jesse Stommel. This book represents over 20 years of thinking and writing about grades. The work of ungrading is to ask hard questions, point to the fundamental inequities of grades, and push for structural change. Undoing the Grade offers pedagogies and practices that make assessment more equitable

Coming back from sabbatical, I'm suffering from whiplash due to deterministic rhetoric around AI. I wrote myself some notes: https://zephoria.medium.com/resisting-deterministic-thinking-52ef8d78248c

But I'm also curious... why do you think deterministic rhetoric SOOOOOOO pervasive right now?

Higher Ed folks: The opportunity to sign up as a reviewer for proposals for this year's EDUCAUSE national conference is open now. It's a neat chance to see what people are proposing and it's also a great way to get a lot of useful visibility if you think you might toss in a proposal in the future yourself. Oh, and they give you a microcredential as a reviewer too.

The sign-up form is at: https://www.abstractsonline.com/dashboard/login.asp?aId=1547&targetMKey=%7B050BF681-55A0-436A-8270-7B45BB2BE5D4%7D&targetMod=submit, and if you're interested you'll want to sign up by March 30th.

Higher ed folks - the Internet 2 Inclusivity Scholarships which support women who are technology professionals as they grow their careers are open now. The provide registration fees, transportation, and lodging costs for the Internet2 Community Exchange conference held in early May in Atlanta.

Nudge someone who hasn't gone and might benefit from it - this is a cool opportunity!
