yep

well, you can mute their sound - never figured out how to mute people ;-)

:-)

I do telephone interviews for foreign language classes, still :)

agreed

the “liking” would be good to show “interaction”

That isn’t using Canvas built-in ‘peer feedback’ feature, right? That’s just a discussion board of its own for the project?

This is regarding your previous question about other methods for group designation…I tend to put my group work after a major project is due so I can see who is keeping up and participating. Then I send out a self-assessment survey where students rank their own skills and/or interests in certain areas (leadership, organization, communication, other soft skills, and a range of technical skills). Then based on that spreadsheet, I assign groups so that each one has a balanced mix of skills, "leaders," and people who have proven different levels of participation. That way no group ends up with a bunch of people who just disappear on someone. It has been incredibly effective, and out of 4 years using that method, I’ve only had two of about 32 groups that really disliked the group work. But even those groups completed the project successfully. And I have them use Slack, the online project management software. That also allows me to see what their communication is like as a group guest. (https://slack.com/)

Cool way to do groups, Leigh. Thanks for sharing!

videos in arc - are they only accessible to the students in the course, or is it open to canvas

then why is it in the blue general menu?

but your arc videos are all in a drop box

sorry i meant not open to those outside the course

THanks

yes

i was in a breakout room, then i came back

did I accidently mute? ok, back now

yes

Y

yes

yes

we are back

yes

yes, we could get back early if we wanted

I would add group annotation

that’s where much of the discussion is in my classes

Mostly I used discussion boards.

hang on

Mainly discussion boards

I have students call each other on the phone, because they need to practice real-time communication in a foreign language. They get a partner call every two weeks.

me, too. disc boards

I do weekly discussions for my class.

Mainly discussion boards for me as well.

Discussion board forums

I do discussions, but I have had them do group or student led discussions where they posted the questions, etc

Group projects so they have to interact with each other in order to complete their projects

discussion group, starting with groups this semester

same - discussions

I've done groups in discussion boards but it hasn't really contributed to interaction...other than a few replies. I need to learn how to better guide them

slack? What's it called?

Oh ok

https://slack.com/)

I do something similar in my hybrid course, and select students after few weeks of getting to know them. I do not ask about skills. Good idea

have your online students ever complained about random selection in online?

Not that I would know why

Just in case some of them know each other

Like your student feedback one, I have students ‘teach’ one small topic by creating a presentation to share with the class; other students do have to leave substantive feedback on those presentations.

Is there any way to have students post comments or chat anonymously? In my classes, I think students would participate in discussions a lot more if they could remain anonymous.

But I would like to know who the students are

I think there is a setting in Blackboard discussion for that

not sure - good question

I believe you can in Canvas

When peer feedback is anonymous, I assume instructors can still see names?

Yes! Student-taught topics work really well.

Thanks, Sean!
