Here's a list of useful tools for quizzing. i never heard of more than half of these. Good to know there are a lot of options.

Student perceptions on online learning

Very interesting indeed. i have always thought that students are more reflective when they post their responses online than when we are having F2F discussions in the classroom. And now it's supported by surveys. in the end it's true though that even if online courses require more self-motivation and time-management skills, student engagement still relies a lot on how the instructor manages the online classroom. Thanks for posting!

This tool helps a teacher track who participates in classroom discussions (i.e. how often, how long....)

Although I don't teach math, thIs resource looks great for free and open InteractIve math assIgnments.

As we develop our online teaching skills, i think it is important we also address leadership in the online environment.

Otter processes your audio or video files - in real time or after they are created - and generates a text file with a transcript. it automatically recognizes and designates different speakers, and allows you to give them names before downloading the text file. The fee tier gives 600 minutes of transcription per month. i am uploading my lecture videos after they are generated, and posting the transcriptions in my LMS for students.

This is of course a topic that is on every ones mind these days. i especially found this interesting since being in the heating and air conditioning field we have to take every caution because you don't know if the person you are providing service to is infected.

Even as today's college student experiences a variety of classroom forms (i.e., "brick and mortar", virtual, hybrid), social media's use and influence are evolving depending on context.

"An instructor's 'digital' personality can influence student achievement, retention or completion, and satisfaction with courses..." i couldn't agree more as this has been my experience!

Love the description of all the items we are learning in class. This helped a lot in putting 2 and 2 together. Thank you for posting this. Kathy

Yes, there are a ton of great ed-tech tools out there, but which ones should you be adopting for your classroom? This article gave me some great ideas.

Ranzie, Thank you for sharing this. Loved it. i am still learning about much of this content and how it can be utilized in my classroom

Addresses the popular conception of learning styles and the lack of empirical support for teaching to students' styles. Touches on the role of metacognition in learning. The references constitute a short list of key readings on the topic.

Melissa, i will definitely check this article out! Learning styles is my favorite concept!
