The purpose of this student-led project is for instructors to gain an understanding of what students are looking for in their classes and to familiarize you with some tools you can use to implement new practices in the classroom.
A few of the topics we’re going to cover in these videos include Readspeaker, Zoom live captioning, and online group projects.

Brush Up on Gradebook
Brightspace allows you to post grades and feedback for students to view over the semester and adjust their work as needed.
