Hypothesis: An Overview

This vendor facilitated online workshop will explore one of our newer Canvas-integrated tools. Hypothesis makes it easy for students in classes to annotate readings collaboratively. This session will show how Hypothesis can promote student engagement, expand reading comprehension, and build critical-thinking and community in classes. Collaborative annotation makes reading active, visible, and social, enabling students to engage with their texts, teachers, ideas, and each other in deeper, more meaningful ways

During this workshop, the CAT team gave a brief overview of several tools in open breakout sessions with the College of Education. The purpose of this session was to spark new ideas for student engagement in the classroom, especially in an online/hy-flex context, instead of comprehensively covering each tool. The topics included:

• Google Jamboard (12 min)
• Google Cloud Assignments in Canvas (9 min)
• Zoom Discussion Strategies (24 min)
• Juxtapose by Knightlab (14 min)
• StoryMapJS by Knightlab (11 min)
• TimelineJS by Knightlab (24 min)

If you would like to learn more about any of the tools above or how to incorporate them into your class, submit a CAT consultation request for a one-on-one meeting.

This workshop addressed rubric design and implementation. Attendees were asked to come with an idea of a rubric for a specific assignment for one of their course student learning outcomes; during the workshop, attendees designed rubrics for their assignment and then built the rubric in Canvas. Attendees also learned how to use and modify existing rubrics in Canvas and how to grade assignments using the Canvas rubric tool. 

Learning Outcomes:

• Using an assignment from one of your courses, identify how it aligns with Student Learning Outcomes at the module, course, and program level (as appropriate).
• Describe the importance of rubrics for you as an instructor and for your students.
• Differentiate between the three types of rubrics.
• Using the process shown during the workshop, design your own rubric.
• Reflect on factors that may influence your grading decisions.

Resources:

• Presentation 
• Rubric Design Worksheet 

This quick and practical session focused on how to write Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) appropriate for the degree level of your course and its strategic placement within the program curriculum.

Learning Outcomes:

• Differentiate between Objectives and Student Learning Outcomes.
• Describe the characteristics of Student Learning Outcomes.
• Construct your own Student Learning Outcome.

Resources:
