Video Rubrics: The Academic and Emotional Benefits of an Interactive Editing Tool

Video Rubrics are an interactive tool that facilitate students’ editing of written work. The instructor records a video explaining assignment instructions and marking criteria while also prompting students with questions that guide them in reviewing and editing. In this talk, the facilitator will discuss and demonstrate Video Rubrics, then share preliminary results of students’ perception of the academic and emotional benefits of Video Rubrics as a tool to support learning in classroom and fieldwork environments.

Creating Digital Experiences to Foster Collaborative Active/Experiential Learning

Join in an exploration of the potential that digital experiences hold for encouraging diverse student engagement in active/experiential learning through accessible collaboration! Imagine various digital pedagogical activities shared across an online platform where students reflect and then contribute to interdisciplinary conversations. Vanier is proud to share an example inspired by our produced documentary film, which follows our nursing students though their stage experiences in Malawi.

Zettelkasten: Harnessing Note “Making” Technologies as Pedagogy

We all take notes, from jotting down a simple grocery list to outlining our next diabolical plan. In this talk, I discuss how I turned note-taking into a formative assessment. The talk will cover (a) what is note-“making” and how to implement it as an assessment; (b) what kind of educational technologies can you use in the classroom; (c) student examples and testimonials; and (d) how to navigate benefits and limitations of note-taking technologies.
