Beyond "I Agree": Developing a Toolkit for facilitating Online Discussions
This document discusses developing tools to facilitate effective online discussions. It recommends establishing clear guidelines for student participation, including expected quantity and quality of posts. Instructors should model discussion participation by asking Socratic questions and providing feedback. Rubrics can be used to assess student posts and provide guidance on areas for improvement. The goal is to move students beyond simple agreement posts and encourage critical thinking through probing questions and substantive discussion.
Module 2
This document discusses adapting messages to the audience. It defines different types of audiences including primary, secondary, initial, gatekeepers, watchdogs, discourse communities, and organizational culture. The key points are:
1) Everything depends on how the audience perceives the message - it must be clear and compelling.
2) The primary audience is who you want to take action, secondary audiences watch and evaluate, and initial audiences route the message.
3) Gatekeepers, watchdogs, discourse communities, and organizational culture can impact how the message is received.
4) It is important to understand your audience by taking inventory of what you know and learning more, then focusing the message on relevant facts and assumptions
Module 1
As people rise in an organization, their audiences for both speaking and writing tend to grow and their ideas will impact more people. They will also be dealing with more complex problems involving dissimilar parts. Even for lower level jobs, communication is necessary up and down the chain of responsibility. To communicate effectively, it is important to understand the purpose, audience, and context of any message to know if the words will work for that situation. Proper communication following the P.A.I.B.O.C. structure is important because communication is expensive.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

A 3Cs Discussion on “Assessment in the Multimodal Composition Classroom"
- 1. A 3Cs Discussion on ―Assessment in the Multimodal Composition Classroom‖ Kaitlin Clinnin, Michelle Cohen, Erin Cahill
- 2. Opening Questions Given that our standards for grading were largely formed for assessing alphabetic print texts, how do we develop criteria for evaluating multimodal/digital compositions? What factors MUST be present, and to what degree, in order for a text to be successful? Your questions?
- 3. Developing Criteria for Evaluating Multimodal Texts Student-generated grading criteria (Adsanatham) Statement of Goals and Choices/SOGC (Shipka) Metaphor and metonymy (Sorapure) Coherence (Yancey)
- 4. Developing Criteria for Evaluating Multimodal Texts Criteria must address the following categories (Adsanatham) Images Sounds Transitions (screen transitions) Alphabetic texts Clarity Persuasiveness Arrangement (sequence)
- 5. Our Rubric
- 6. Rhetorical Viewing Questions How are the images arranged? In what order do they appear? Is there any logic to them? What makes the clip memorable and why? What sounds do you hear first, next, and afterward? Why do you think they are put in that order? How are quotations used; why? What do you like about this clip that you might try to emulate in your own work? Is there anything that you dislike? Identify them and provide your reasons. (Adsanatham 171)
- 7. Dan Anderson Video ―I’m a Map, I’m a Green Tree‖ [http://vimeo.com/13829897]
- 8. Evaluation of ―I’m a Map‖ Our rubric: Elements to Consider (Adsanatham): Images Sounds Transitions (screen transitions) Alphabetic texts Clarity Persuasiveness Arrangement (sequence)
- 9. Dan Anderson Video ―Sun Returning‖ [http://vimeo.com/60834156]
- 10. Evaluation of ―Sun Returning‖ Our rubric: Elements to Consider (Adsanatham): Images Sounds Transitions (screen transitions) Alphabetic texts Clarity Persuasiveness Arrangement (sequence)
- 11. Statement of Goals and Choices (SOGC) ―In some ways, I’d like to think the video is readable: it scrolls through two main texts—the essay draft, and the email thread from techrhet. I’d like to think you could read some of that text and come away with a message, though it might ask for multiple sittings.‖ ―The videos are variations on composing aloud exercises and process narratives. For instance, capturing the draft text of the essay in the video might invite readers to consider the earlier version of the essay– important to me since the experiment with using timestamps is likely to go away. Eventually it should prove impossibly difficult to tell where or what the text actually is, providing a reader ventures beyond the pages of the book.‖
- 12. Our Rubric Revisited How effective is our rubric (at least in these two examples)? What are our rubrics’ shortcomings? What would we continue to build upon? What would we change?
- 13. Final Thoughts How do we put these criteria into practice at our home universities and in our own classrooms? Suggestions for classroom practice… What has been useful for you in the past? What would you recommend avoiding? Challenges Concerns
- 14. Thanks for your attention!
