Meet the New Vice Provost for Learning Innovation and Digital Education: 5 Questions with Dr. Yakut Gazi learninginnovation.duke.edu/blog/2022/08/m…

If your institution enables faculty to experiment with unsupported #edtech tools in their classes, there are a number of topics worth reflecting on and discussing with a vendor before you partner with them: learninginnovation.duke.edu/blog/2022/07/t… @profmikegreene

@DonnyBoy71 @GoogleGuacamole @DonaldHTaylor I'm interested in lms to lxp, have any public writing available on the experience?

@GoogleGuacamole @DonaldHTaylor Does lms to lxp count? And landing after the event to 'help get things over the line'* *start from scratch

@elonteaching @mpattonchapman Interesting! I'm curious about the question type. Could they pick more than one? If so, did they rank them?

“What We Talk About When We Talk About Grades: Faculty Perceptions of Grades and Grading” session is brought to us by Margaret Chapman @mpattonchapman. It’s fascinating to see how faculty across disciplines think about their grading systems! #ElonTLC22

@Jenae_Cohn @DukeLearning No, but I said I was gonna blog more this year so… ✍️✍️✍️

@profmikegreene @DukeLearning Michael, Wow!! What a thoughtful thread! Thanks for sharing your thoughts (and seriously excellent use of that drum roll emoji!). I think this is all spot-on. Have you considered rolling this up into a quickie advice or blog article (if you haven't done so already)?

I'm thinking about the adoption of one-off innovative tools for virtual learning that don't have institutional support and haven't been vetted for accessibility. I'm not opposed to this practice per se, but it does make me think about sustainable & inclusive strategy? #pprs22

@DukeLearning @Jenae_Cohn Not a perfect or all-encompassing solution but somewhere to start. END/

@DukeLearning @Jenae_Cohn 1. Is your product FERPA and WCAG 2.0 compliant? 9/

@DukeLearning @Jenae_Cohn We recommend asking a representative of {TOOLNAME} these questions before you move forward: 🥁🥁🥁 8/

@DukeLearning @Jenae_Cohn For students in some countries (ex. China) some commonly used tools (Google Docs, Google Sites, WhatsApp) may not be accessible. Students may be able to work around this problem by using a VPN; however, this solution may not be straightforward for students. 7/

@DukeLearning @Jenae_Cohn 3. providing technical support for the tool yourself (if the tool or platform doesn’t already provide sufficient support). 6/

@DukeLearning @Jenae_Cohn 2. informing your students that they’re using a tool that your institution does not support and has not reviewed for privacy and security (this is especially necessary when a tool produces something public – like a public blog or website, for example); 5/

@DukeLearning @Jenae_Cohn 1. making sure your students’ data is protected and not shared; 4/

@DukeLearning @Jenae_Cohn If you do move forward with {TOOLNAME}, keep in mind that when you use tools that have not been reviewed and supported by Duke you are responsible for 🥁🥁🥁 /3

@DukeLearning @Jenae_Cohn We recommend using Duke supported and endorsed tools to keep things simple, secure and reliable, but realize you might also be faced with a situation that warrants the use of non-Duke tools. 2/
