Webinar: Feel the Love from Your Students: Brightspace Tools for Increasing E...D2L Barry
Brightspace Teaching & Learning Community Webinar Series.
Feb 7, 2017
Presenter: Thomas J. Tobin, PhD, MSLS, PMP, MOT
Description: Many campuses have moved entirely or partially to electronic survey instruments for end-of-course student ratings of teaching effectiveness. Because online surveys don’t provide the “captive audience” of the old pencil-and-bubble-sheet days, response rates on eSurveys are often lower than when we used paper. This webinar will share four specific tactics that are proven to increase the response rates on electronic end-of-semester e-surveys. We will also shatter myths about four common practices that do not help response rates at all.
Participants in this webinar will learn how to apply four techniques to increase the response rates on e-survey student ratings of teaching effectiveness.
After attending the webinar, participants will be able to
a) identify four common e-survey strategies that do not actually help to increase response rates,
b) implement four specific strategies that do increase e-survey response rates, and
c) apply survey-lifecycle techniques using Brightspace tools to help e-survey adoption rates.
Intelligent agents in Desire2Learn can automate notifications when certain criteria are met, such as a student not logging in or entering a course. The agents check for predefined criteria on a set schedule and send customized emails to specified recipients. Examples include sending reminders to students who are inactive or messages with encouragement and resource links after poor performance. While agents increase communication, their use requires effective management to avoid over-messaging students.
This document provides an overview of the Valence API basics, including what the Valence API is, how to set it up, and how to use it. The Valence API is a REST API that allows communication with the Desire2Learn learning platform via HTTP requests using standard methods like GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE. To set up the API, developers must request API keys using the Keytool and ensure the correct roles and permissions are enabled. Once set up, developers can use SDKs and make HTTP requests to send data to and receive JSON responses from Desire2Learn.

Domain Driven Design (DDD) involves strategic design practices to develop a software model that closely represents the business domain. It focuses on bringing together domain experts and developers to develop a shared ubiquitous language. The domain is divided into subdomains and core domains, with the core domain being the most important to the business. Models are developed for each bounded context, which represents an explicit boundary within a subdomain. Following DDD results in software that makes more sense to both the business and technical aspects of the organization.
Domain driven design changed the way I did design. I wanted to introduce this to our new team. This presentation just introduces the main concepts of DDD. This is the first presentation that I am uploading to slides share.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

6 bug fixes in both iOS and Android
Improved feedback. Instructors can provide give more personalized, engaging feedback than is possible with traditional hard-copy grading. Support for rubrics, inline annotations, freehand notes, and audio/video commentary allows instructors to give feedback in a variety of formats.
Better instructor productivity. Saving assignments for offline access lets instructors to review, grade, and leave feedback on assignments wherever they are – even without an internet connection. It allows instructors to work at their own pace.
Organized workflows. The ability to filter and sort submissions helps instructors organize their work. Grades and feedback drafted offline are automatically synched later, allowing instructors to transition from mobile to desktop seamlessly.
Assignment Grader now has a display option that allows users to view only those courses that have at least one associated assignment submission folder. The option is called Hide Courses with no Assignments and when selected, allows instructors to find courses with assignment submissions more quickly and easily. This is turned off by default.
This feature includes the following usability improvements to the rubrics grading experience from the Evaluate panel for instructors using the Brightspace Assignment Grader for Android app:
The rubric interface has been updated so that when instructors open a rubric to add their feedback, their experience is smoother and more intuitive.
A +Feedback option has been added, which instructors can tap to add text feedback associated with a specific rubric criterion.
The Override Score field is no longer in the modal window. Instead, the points field in the Score column is editable for each rubric criterion.
