So excited to hear from Dr. Eden Tanner as our keynote speaker on day 2 of @thegradingconference.com!
@thegradingconference.com is underway! Enjoying our opening keynote from Dr. Asao Inoue: "On Liking and Labor in Writing Assessment: A Journey Toward Labor-Based Grading"
Great. Happy to help in any way (leading a session, etc.). In the meantime, wishing you a happy semester wrap-up and a nice holiday break!
Ughhhh I didn't know that about the ToS. Time to deactivate.
Thanks for the kind words!! I'm looking forward to the spring book club on Josh Eyeler's new book. I just got it yesterday 😁
Just posting the #Ungrading & Alternative Assessment Starter Pack info once again in case anyone missed it! 😀

I'm keeping mine open out of...I don't know. Morbid curiosity??! But I really never even log in anymore, so this is clearly the place to be! I'm feeling anxious about everything I've "missed"--academic FOMO is a thing, apparently 🤣
Thank you so much, and hiya! 😁 I've had an account here for awhile but only today really decided to be active, so your timing is perfect. Looking forward to some good conversations!!
