    Episode 7: Making Grading CALM: Consistent, Accurate, Learning-Focused, and Meaningful

    Grading is one of the most powerful forces shaping teaching and learning, yet it’s often misunderstood and inconsistently applied. In this episode of Crowdmark Sessions, host and CEO Michelle Caers sits down with internationally recognized assessment expert Ken O’Connor to unpack what truly fair, accurate, and meaningful grading looks like in practice. Ken takes us inside the principles of the influential CALM framework - Consistent, Accurate, Learning-focused, and Meaningful, revealing how institutions can modernize grading systems, strengthen student trust, and align assessment with learning growth. From legacy habits that distort accuracy to practical fixes instructors can apply tomorrow, this conversation offers actionable insights every educator and academic leader can use. Tune in for a compelling discussion that may change how you think about grades.

    Episode #5: Big Classrooms, Big Challenges: Navigating Assessment in Large Science Courses

    In this episode of Crowdmark Sessions, host and CEO Michelle Caers speaks with Dr. Phillip Delekta and Dr. Katherine Krueger from Michigan State University about the realities of teaching and assessing in large-enrollment science courses. With classes that enroll hundreds — sometimes thousands — of students, how do instructors keep feedback meaningful, ensure consistency across large teaching teams, and help students truly engage with science? Phillip and Katherine share their approaches to active learning, collaborative teaching, and scientific practices, including why building students’ ability to argue from evidence is so critical in today’s classrooms.
