In this workshop we will look at how to use restrictions, challenges, additional
content, media, and news, with the Awards system which can give out badges and
certificates for completing various criteria. Reward your students with
something other than grades, offer optional time pressure, opt-in supplemental
material. Drive it all with proven gamification methods like time boxes, loops,
perceived randomization. Motivate and enhance value for your students with no
overhead for the instructor week to week by leveraging automation in D2L.

In
this workshop, participants will become familiar with the Grades tool. You’ll
learn to enter and manage grades, create your own course specific grade scheme,
and how to set up a grade system that meets the needs of your class. We’ll also
look at the Setup Wizard, the 3 types of grade items you can select (Points/Weight/or
Formula) for your class and how you can quickly and easily submit your final
grades.

The Rubrics feature in D2L Brightspace is easy to set-up and will make marking written

assignments, in-class presentations, or observed skills easy and most importantly

defendable. Rubrics can be shared with students to provide guidance and set expectations for an assignment or they can be hidden and seen only by the instructors and TA's, the choice is yours. Once a rubric has been created and attached to an assessment in D2L Brightspace marking is a breeze, simply click on the criteria level the student has obtained and the system automatically adds the points and scores the assessment. There is still plenty of room to provide personalized feedback as well as areas to provide generic feedback per criteria; removing the need to enter the same critique over and over again. Best of all if you are challenged about a grade you can provide clear feedback to students about the criteria you expected and where they failed to meet that expectation.

When giving feedback to students on assessment tools in D2L have you considered using video? Students respond well to video feedback and providing it is quick and easy in the Brightspace environment in the assessment tools. This interactive workshop will demonstrate how to create video feedback, how students access the feedback, and participants are welcome to share their expectations, hopes and concerns with giving feedback via video.
