Christopher R. Friend (@chris_friend) reads his chapter "Student Writing Must be Graded by the Teacher." (Don't miss the joke: the author of the chapter is disagreeing with the bad idea stated in the chapter's title.) It's a chapter from Bad Ideas about Writing, which was edited by Cheryl E. Ball (@s2ceball) and Drew M. Loewe (@drewloewe). Kyle Stedman (@kstedman) produces the show and will be back as narrator next week. Chapter keywords: open peer review, peer review, rhetoric and civic engagement, student writing self-assessment, writing community engagement Chris Friend has been teaching writing classes since 2000, from middle schoolers to collegiate seniors, teens to septuagenarians, in-person, online, and everything in-between. He also teaches faculty to use critical pedagogy in digital spaces and advocates for extreme student agency. As assistant professor of English in new media at Kean University, Chris helps students engage their communities through a variety of digital projects. As director of Hybrid Pedagogy, Chris works with authors and editors in a double-open peer-review process that he believes brings out the best in authors and writing alike. He tweets about these and other topics from @chris_friend.

How well do podcasts work as a medium for scholarly peer review? In the previous episode, Hannah McGregor and Ian M. Cook provided peer review on Lori Beckstead's draft chapter Context is King: Podcast Packaging and Paratexts. Now we're following up to discuss how well we think this method went. Dario Llinares leads us in a discussion about the affordances and limitations of doing scholarly peer review in the context of a podcast. Jess is also here with recommendations for a peer reviewed and a scholarly podcast. Be sure to listen to Peer Review Podcasting Part 1 on our podcast feed. A copy of the draft chapter under review can be viewed here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vRIscCkwgjFbvaZMLdfRET-XmaF48x4rxyQj7EQcdtRGXQnWOLwogODRrMbzvyJ3_64XIkcot5IMG1u/pub A transcript of this episode is available here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vRUdekT9PzeAYBpXCBm4oX7gbXeb-0jXnsLGa46RWI4qzVGpQaam9qpJ9NReEYX14kvaHXr2ORvSeni/pub Show Notes: Hannah mentions recently undergoing peer review for Kairos, a refereed online journal exploring the intersections of rhetoric, technology, and pedagogy. Hannah mentions speaking to Chris Friend on Hybrid Pedagogy's podcast Teacher of the Ear where they discussed 'ungrading'. Ian M. Cook has a book coming out soon called Scholarly Podcasting: An Insurgent, Curious Craft. Jess mentions Hannah's project, the Amplify Podcast Network, which is "a collaborative project dedicated to reimagining the sound of scholarship." She also mentions Lori's Open Peer Review Podcast which is "a demonstration of using podcasting to conduct open peer review of academic scholarship." Jess recommends Ted Rieken's audio piece published in the McGill Journal of Education entitled Mapping the Fit Between Research and Multimedia: A Podcast Exploration of the Place of Multimedia within/as Scholarship. Lori recommends also checking out the Peer Reviewer Roundtable Response to Ted Reiken's Scholarly Podcast. Jess also recommends the podcast Ologies by Alie Ward. Dario & Lori touch on Mack Hagood's chapter The Scholarly Podcast: Form and Function in Audio Academia in Saving New Sounds: Podcast Preservation and Historiography edited by Jeremy Wade Morris and Eric Hoyt. Dario mentions the Cinematologists' episode Knowing Sounds: Podcasting as Academic Practice, and Hannah McGregor's Secret Feminist Agenda podcast as examples which explore podcasting, scholarship, and peer review. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/podcaststudiespodcast/message

Dr. Amanda Licastro has a doctorate in English and recently moved from her position as an Assistant Professor to take on a role as the Emerging and Digital Literacy Designer at the University of Pennsylvania. Her research explores the intersection of technology and writing, including book history, dystopian literature, and digital humanities, with a focus on multimodal composition and Extended Reality. Amanda serves as the Director of Pedagogical Initiatives of the Book Traces project and is co-founder of the Journal of Interactive Technology and Pedagogy and the Writing Studies Tree. Publications include articles in Kairos, Digital Pedagogy in the Humanities, Hybrid Pedagogy, and Communication Design Quarterly, as well as chapters in Digital Reading and Writing in Composition Studies, and Critical Digital Pedagogy. In this episode of Room 42 welook into the story behind the forthcoming edited collection Composition and Big Data co-edited by Amanda Licastro and Ben Miller. The editors took a unique approach to peer review: they engaged the contributing authors in a radical approach to collaboration and cooperation that crossed boundaries, knocked down barriers, and yielded astounding results. Learn how big data is shaping our scholarship, what we need to do now to prepare, and how a collaborative collection of authors can highlight the ethical and practical considerations of applying data analytics to the field of Composition and Rhetoric.
Dr Tim Amidon is an Associate Professor of Digital Rhetoric at Colorado State University and holds appointments within the English Department and the Colorado School of Public Health. His research surrounds the interrelationships of technology, agency, and workplace literacy with focused interests in rhetorics of data, risk communication, intellectual property, and occupational safety and health. His scholarship has appeared in venues such as Communication Design Quarterly, The Journal of Business and Technical Communication, Kairos: A Journal of Rhetoric, Technology, and Pedagogy, Hybrid Pedagogy, as well as within proceedings of the International Conference on Design, Usability, and Usability (DUXU) and the Association of Computing Machinery’s Special Interest Group on the Design of Communication (SIGDOC). In addition, Tim has served as a firefighter/EMT, technical rescuer, fire instructor, and/or fire officer in fire and emergency service organizations for over 20 years. In this episode, we discuss the way emerging technologies are transforming work within the fire and emergency services industry, including insights from an ongoing project funded by the NSF to develop a wearable physiological monitor to improve firefighter safety outcomes. He will also consider how practitioners, designers, and researchers might leverage UX and TPC research to cultivate coalitions for the design and integration of more accessible, equitable, inclusive, and just technologies. What does the sophisticated array of digital technologies—from remote sensors and wearables to drones and data analytics platforms—taken up across industries mean for the future of work? How might these technologies displace the existing tools, practices, and literacies workers coordinate in order to construct knowledge and communicate within various industries? How might these technologies reveal affinities toward and limitations in blue- and white-collar conceptions of work?

Jesse Stommel, co-founder of Hybrid Pedagogy: the journal of critical digital pedagogy and co-author of An Urgency of Teachers: the Work of Critical Digital Pedagogy, has not graded student work—in the traditional sense—in 20 years. Instead, he practices “ungrading”, a word which “...suggests that we need to do intentional, critical work to dismantle traditional and standardized approaches to assessment.” In this episode, Jesse unpacks why he supports ungrading (as well as the dead ideas that it challenges), and explains how it promotes student learning. He also shares steps that listeners can take towards ungrading in their own classrooms. Learn more at ctl.columbia.edu/podcast. Transcript

Hey there, listener! In this week's episode, I read and comment on an article I've written for an online academic journal called Hybrid Pedagogy. In this article, I discuss what my, and many students alike, challenges, concerns, and disquietudes have been regarding learning during the pandemic. Most notably, communication, accessible learning in the digital environment, and mental wellbeing need to be prioritized and/or improved. I know many students can relate to the themes addressed in this episode, and if you're someone who can relate, know I am by your side and am fighting for change every single day.

Happy Hot Dog Day!How do we present the idea of the syllabus to faculty? What do we lead with?Why inclusive teaching is important.The syllabus is foundational, creates structure for the course.The syllabus as cultural touchstone and tone setting. Is the course created with inclusivity in mind?Jeremy shares out Adam Heidebrink-Bruno’s The Syllabus as Manifesto from Hybrid Pedagogy.Adam Nemeroff shares highlights and reflections from creating Dartmouth’s Syllabus Guide this past summer.Adam shared out Monica Linden’s (Brown University) syllabus statement on Diversity and Inclusion that made the rounds on the listservs. It both sets up norms as well as processes and procedures for events in class.Adam shares out Traditional Teaching May Deepen Inequality. Can a Different Approach Fix It? From the Chronicle of Higher Education. This story charts the course of Kelly Hogan (UNC Chapel Hill) and her experiences investigating issues of diversity and inclusion in her own course. She shares out that inclusive teaching has two main components: putting more structure into a course and being more thoughtful about facilitating class discussion.Jeremy shares the challenge of not only students, but teachers who are “thrown into the deep end” and the role of us as coaches supporting them.Kate shared her experience designing a first year seminar and how to help all students to do better in higher ed. She spends considerable time with her students decoding her syllabus and talking about it as an agreement with everyone having roles in it and most importantly, why they should care about it.Adam shared that “the syllabus as contract” can be either good or bad. It’s a treasure trove of teaching experiences of the past. The goal with things like policies should be about creating and co-enforcing norms with the teacher and students.Jeremy and Adam talked about there being required components in some institutions, and some of those things can be really helpful.Kate shared that she’s had great experiences co-creating syllabi with her students. The goal was to convey that their voice mattered and that they were included in shaping the learning experience.Adam cautioned that the syllabus can often be an artifact and exercise of power. That conveys things to students, intentional or not. How can we build in student choice and agency into the design of the course regardless of program or department requirements.Jeremy shared that the power conveyed in the syllabus is often communicated by the ways language are used. Use positive versus negative framings for language.Kate shared that she frames language to encourage students and others to have questions and share them in a welcoming way.Adam mentioned that the topic of language would be a conversation to explore further in a follow-up episode on feedback and assessment.Jeremy asked what wins are in a syllabus.Adam shared that transparency is something he’s thought a lot about. Specifics about prerequisite knowledge and learning outcomes in the course.Jeremy moved from using the syllabus to communicate course policies to showing students the structure, the map, of the experience. Make sure to convey to students that the outline is either firmed up or subject to change.Adam shared the idea of creating a visual diagram or map for your syllabus. Helps to get out of the linearity of text.Adam and Jeremy talked about the idea of collecting feedback and tips from students about being successful in the course. Adam shared the FAQ course wiki idea that Fiona Vernal (UConn) did in her history class.Kate reiterated that learning objectives should appear in the syllabus and guide the experience. Key for their success. Explain the why.Adam shared out syllabus tips from Universal Design in Higher Education (2010) edited by Sheryl Burgstahler.Kate shared that we need to know where we are going and why we need it and the syllabus is key in aiding that.Jeremy talked about the syllabus humanizing the instructor.Next time we’ll talk about what to actually include in your syllabus and how to create it in an accessible way.

This episode features an interview with Jesse Stommel, Executive Director of the Division of Teaching and Learning Technologies at University of Mary Washington. He is Co-founder of Digital Pedagogy Lab and Hybrid Pedagogy: a digital journal of learning, teaching, and technology. In addition to his focus on digital and critical pedagogy, Jesse has been a gradeless educator for his entire career, as he recounts in his blog post "Why I Don't Grade." Topics include: Why grades are "the biggest and most insidious obstacle to education” How de-emphasizing grades coincides with a pedagogy of equity and social justice Why a gradeless space will not automatically be an equitable one How seemingly neutral platforms can flatten differences and influence pedagogies How we need to think about going gradeless in order it to be liberatory, transformative, an act of resistance
