If you’re an educator struggling with burnout, I wanted to share this course I co-designed to help educators restore health, balance, and wellness. We also used an #ungrading approach that aligns with the theme of the course https://pce.sandiego.edu/courses/live-your-best-educator-life-finding-school-life-balance-through-strategic-self-support-and-wellness-prev-edu-x799k/

My colleagues and I have an open-access chapter that was just published about a faculty professional development program we designed and facilitated during covid 2020 that received the 2021 Blackboard Catalyst Award. The chapter is part of a forthcoming book that provides fresh perspectives based on reflections from the field of higher education in the time of Covid. #remoteteaching #onlineteaching #onlined #onlinelearning #facultydevelopment #covid https://www.intechopen.com/chapters/85074

Hi all! I’m an instructional designer looking to incorporate alternative grading in online courses I design. Has anyone incorporated alternative grading (Ungrading, labor-based grading, standard-based grading, etc.) into the design of online courses at a university? To do this, I will need to convince the academic directors of the programs and the grading methods will most likely need to be scalable across courses in a program. If anyone has experience doing this, I would love to chat with you!
