As we all consider our online teaching, our first thoughts are often with respect to lecturing online and administering exams online. While those aspects are clearly critical, so too are the assignments we ask students to do to encourage them to engage with the material at a deep level, while perhaps exercising critical or creative thought, and learning communications skills. peerScholar was developed to manage such activities in a way that maximizes students' development of core transferable skills like those just highlighted. It embodies a powerful student-driven process with a strong evidence-base, while being easy to use for both faculty and students.

In this webinar I will introduce you to the peerScholar learning process and will highlight several interesting ways in which it is being used by faculty around the world to enhance skills while deepening content learning. Students enjoy the process and endorse it, as do the faculty who try it. Come find out why, and imagine the ways it could enhance the learning your students experience.

Steve Joordens is a Full Professor of Psychology, and the Director of the Advanced Learning Technologies Lab at the University of Toronto Scarborough (www.altlab.ca). Professor Joordens’ passion for teaching and for innovations in education have resulted in him winning a number of awards at institutional, provincial and national levels including, in 2015, being named a 3M National Teaching Fellow.

Dwayne Paré is the CEO of Cogneeto Inc. and co-creator of peerScholar. He is also a cognitive psychologist, with a focus on the pedagogy of educational technology. With the Cogneeto team, they created and support peerScholar, a technology that allows this formal approach to skill development to be used in virtually every educational context regardless of level or area of instruction. Their research focuses on formal approaches to the development and measurement of transferable skills like critical thought, creative thought, and effective communication.

Lakehead University and Notetonic Inc. have teamed up to provide free access to Notetonic, a web-based student feedback app that uses artificial intelligence to automate the analysis of qualitative student feedback.

*No technology is required by the instructor to pose the in-class question(s).

*Students provide feedback on what they learned, where they need extra help, and to rate their level of understanding during the last few minutes of class when it’s most critical.

*Instructors receive immediate and detailed anonymized data on course concepts students are mastering and areas where they may be struggling.

Skills gaps exist in part because instructors often rely on indirect evidence from paper-based assessments to gauge a student's comprehension level. Choosing or describing the right answer isn't the same as putting knowledge into action. In order to close these gaps, students need skill-building opportunities and timely feedback to help them improve. To this point, resource constraints have made it difficult for organizations to scale skill practice and evaluation using traditional methods.

Video assignments (available in myCourselink) enable experiential learning and soft skill development at scale. When students demonstrate skills and knowledge on video, instructors get an authentic representation of what they can do. Join us for a workshop to see how you can put your student's knowledge into action with video assignments.
