    093 | Ungrading in an LMS & TechSmith's Snagit

    093 | Ungrading in an LMS & TechSmith's Snagit

    The series continues with an informational how-to: setting up ungrading in an LMS! Now, this is not a detailed, step-by-step walkthrough for every LMS. This  is more of a general guideline for what it takes to do ungrading in an LMS. There are a lot of settings that can get in the way, so tune in to get a sense for what you need to watch for when doing ungrading in your course. We also leave you with TechSmith's Snagit, a fantastic tool for all image and video capture. Josh uses it for his teaching, so check out why he thinks it stands out. For more on our conversation, check out the episode page here.

    092 | Why Do Ungrading? with Dr. Justin Harbin & ResearchRabbit

    092 | Why Do Ungrading? with Dr. Justin Harbin & ResearchRabbit

    Long-standing friend of the podcast, Dr. Justin Harbin, returns to help us establish the rationale for ungrading. What's its purpose? Is it "good?" Should we be doing it or is it a fad? Answer all of these questions and more when you tune into episode 92. And then, Justin leaves us with an excellent tool called Research Rabbit. This tool can help automate the discovery of new materials, making literature reviews and all levels of research that much easier. Even better: they operate on an open-source platform and methodology. Check it out today! For more on our conversation, check out the episode page here.

    We are joined by Justin Phillips, Assistant Dean of Academic Affairs at Pennsylvania College of Art and Design. Justin and Will met over a bagel, and the rest was history! Listen to Justin's story about pivoting into the pandemic and learning tremendous lessons about how to reach students across barriers: whether they're technological or learning interferences. He leaves us with the wonderful tool, Google Jamboard, as an example of one that's helped him teach art online and even impacted his personal practice.
