This workshop explores strategies for providing feedback that enhances student learning while helping you manage grading time. Participants will learn how to deliver intentional, elaborative feedback and how to prioritize higher-order concerns in written assignments. The session will also introduce educational technology tools and assessment strategies designed to streamline the feedback process. By the end, attendees will walk away with practical techniques to support student growth without increasing workload.

Upon completion of this learning experience, participants will be able to:


describe the role of feedback in promoting student learning
explain the benefits of providing students with intentional, elaborative feedback on multiple-choice questions (MCQs)
differentiate between higher-order and lower-order concerns in feedback on assignments

Join the DSL Graduate Arts Fellow, Hailey Becker (Art, Art History and Design and Forestry) in a workshop on using 360 cameras to capture changes to place. Participants will be guided through the basics of recording and editing 360 footage, ending with their  footage being displayed in the Digital Scholarship Lab 360 Room. Using 360 footage can be a great way to archive an artistic practice or scientific research. No experience required, all levels welcome!

This talk explores the way that blue-collar attire is used by folk and roots musicians in the United States regardless of their own labor backgrounds to show solidarity, express identity, and connect with the histories of the music.
