teaching behavior, ratherthan tool use per se, which the authors posit is not necessary for faculty observation programs[22]. Excluding the use of instructional artifacts misses tool mediation, a key tenet of ActivityTheory and an essential point in our work. It is critical to capture when (and what) technologiesare used, if they successfully support the intent of the activity, and what the ramifications of thisuse are because tools shape the way people interact with their reality; knowing how to use a tooldemonstrates transmission of social and cultural knowledge [12].A more recent protocol, the Classroom Discourse Observation Protocol (CDOP) [5], developedin 2019, references the RTOP, TDOP, and COPUS, and distinguishes itself from those
