functions as professional development, it is necessary todemonstrate that those who participate advance their teaching knowledge. In the related worksection of this paper, we touched on the various kinds of knowledge that might be involvedincluding traditionally accountable knowledge such as knowledge of content, pedagogy, andstudents. In addition, we touched on the increasing attention being given to issues such as teacheridentity and teacher authenticity. In our project, we saw evidence of these kinds of knowledge. Inparticular, the first person accounts in this section include ● pedagogical insights related to instructional planning (such as the difficulty of planning and getting calibrated to what can be done in a specific period of

logistical needs of managingthe program.Assignments in the 1-credit course UGTA preparation course included two reading assignmentswith follow-up online discussion forum posts relating the article content to their role as a UGTAand an implementation plan to introduce the reading outcomes for their specific class. Otherassignments included a focus on academic integrity, creation of a resume, and a reflectionsummary. Student feedback of the UGTAs who participated in this formal program revealed thata majority of students felt that their UGTA was prepared for in-class activities, helped tounderstand course material, provided help outside of the classroom, helped them succeed, andencouraged collaboration. However, feedback also suggested that there was

They differ in their privacy policiesand payment plans. Viper is a pay-as-you-go platform where the author retains ownership oftheir work and receives a free limited report [52]. TurnItIn includes a product called iThenticate,a basic plagiarism checker [51], and also Feedback Studio, which includes a rubric and feedbackplatform for writing similar to some of the features in the previous annotation category [50].TurnItIn products also include the ability to integrate with existing LMS platforms [50].

diversity) anda sense of community that allows students to learn from each other [3], [4]. However, this isparticularly difficult in large online courses because it is practically impossible to connect withevery single student and follow his/her progress in detail.The literature has also reported other problems that instructors face when shifting from face-to-face to online learning environments that I too have experienced. For example, the time neededfor the “significant upfront planning and organization” because materials should be loadedbefore the semester starts [2]. This is one of the issues that explains my struggle with thecommunicating assignment instructions. Another is translating and modifying materials from theregular classroom to the
study suggest that the innovative homework process is a method wherestudents perceive that they learn more and will earn a higher grade, when compared with thetraditional homework process. The faculty spend less time grading homework knowing that thestudents have reviewed and graded their own homework prior to final submission. The amountof effort a student puts into the initial submission is a variable for a future study of this process.It could be possible that the students do not put in the upfront effort, knowing there is a secondchance for submission. The authors plan to continue studying the impacts of this homeworkprocess on students’ confidence in their understanding of the material, their actual understandingof the material, and their

This quiz can also be adapted to a SRS (studentresponse system) depending on the teaching goal or student learning outcomes [15]. It can be usedwhen a huge volume of reading is assigned for less problem-solving-oriented classes. If there is aheavy load of concepts, a taxonomy can be provided for students to prepare for class according tothe teaching goals.Future Analysis:Morris and Savadatti’s research [16] showed that the number of full videos watching drops duringthe semester for a flipped class. A more in-depth analysis of the implementation of the One WordPrompt Quiz should be performed to

wouldscale better to larger class sizes.- Plan ahead. Submission is now spread over at least two days, depending on how quickly youreturn the initial submissions to the students. Near exams, this can cause homework to be turnedin before the material is fully covered. My solution to this problem is to collect the firstsubmission in the last class period before the exam, when we are reviewing material. Sinceassignments are returned immediately, students can use their corrections and reflections to helpguide their exam preparations by noting areas in most need of study. Students then re-submittheir work on the day of the exam.- Publish your own solutions, don’t just copy those from the manual. This not only sets a goodexample, but might also help
