It was fun to see how comfortably the students asked you questions whenever they seemed to have them. Both those in the physical and Zoom rooms seemed equally comfortable with asking questions and participating. A few students stayed around after class to either ask a follow-up question, check in about their graduate school application process or share something about their life outside the course.

Quelques solutions de proctoring pour la passation en ligne d'examens ou évaluations. Le Covid a beaucoup œuvré dans ce domaine...

By Lonnie Lee Hood "Colleges and universities are increasingly using digital tools to prevent cheating during online exams, since so many students are taking class from home or their dorm rooms in the era of COVID-19. The programs — prominent software options include Pearson VUE and Honorlock — analyze imagery from students' webcams to detect behavior that might be linked to cheating. Needless to say, there are pain points. University of Kentucky professor Josef Fruehwald, for instance, said in a popular video on TikTok that he wouldn't trust educators who use the software, prompting 2.3 million views and dozens of comments from stressed out students. "One of my French exams got flagged for cheating because I was crying for the whole thing and my French prof had to watch 45 min of me quietly sobbing," one user replied. "Since COVID, LSAT uses a proctoring system," another said. "I was yelled at for having a framed quote from my grandmother on the wall." No less harrowing, one student said a proctor asked them to change into "something more conservative" during the exam, in the student's own home. Fruehwald got so many responses he made a Twitter thread about it — whereupon tweeps started sharing even more allegations. "My husband has two classes left for his BFA and one of them is a math class that requires an assessment test before enrolling," wrote one person. "He should have graduated two years ago but he couldn't take the friggin math class because THE SOUND OF HIS LAPTOP'S FAN SET OFF THE PROCTOR SOFTWARE." Representatives of the anti-cheating software market did push back. "Honorlock uses facial detection and ensures certain facial landmarks are present in the webcam during the assessment," said Honorlock's chief marketing officer Tess Mitchell, after this story was initially published. "Honorlock records the student’s webcam, so crying is visible, however, crying does not trigger a flag or proctor intervention." Eye tracking software isn't exactly knocking it out of the park in the public opinion lately. One startup is forcing people to watch ads with their eyelids all the way open, and another is offering crypto in exchange for eyeball time. The pandemic has changed a lot about the way society runs, and education seems to be a particularly challenged sector. As teachers quit jobs and students say they're silently sobbing into eye tracking programs on a computer screen, it's not hard to see why. Updated with additional context and a statement from Honorlock.

While there are many different frameworks to choose from when it comes to the effective integration of technology, SAMR is typically the one that most people and schools leverage. At face value, it is relatively straightforward while conveying how the use of technology can move from enhancement to transformation. The SAMR Model has provided us with a good lens to observe firsthand the need for proper planning prior to investing large amounts of money on technology. This by no means is a perfect framework to guide the effective implementation of technology initiatives, but it does give us a good idea of what should not be taking place. Via EDTECH@UTRGV

Are you looking for a new activity to challenge students to learn in a new way? Students spend a large amount of their school day sitting in their seats and may have few opportunities to move and interact with their classmates. However, there are many different methods that we can bring into our classroom to get students up and moving and more importantly, collaborating. Via EDTECH@UTRGV

Online learning is not easy for all learners. It requires discipline, self-directed learning readiness, good time management skills, and perseverance to make it through an online course on your own. There are a lot of things the instructor can do to make the journey more pleasurable and engaging, but in the end, it helps for students to have some grit.

My professional career centers around helping educators create engaging learning environments for their students. Often, that entails uncovering how best to use the available educational technologies. Over the course of that experience, I’ve learned something that more educators (not to mention more technology developers) should take to heart: the best tools aren’t always the newest ones.

Assignments are an essential part of the evaluation process. They are also one of the most time-consuming tasks for teachers. Creating different types of assignments takes time and patience. You have to think about each class and tailor the content, instructions, and requirements based on their level. Afterward, you have to invest at least twice as much time checking and grading your students’ work. Via EDTECH@UTRGV
