Unfortunately it's quite expensive "Event Eye is the first in a new generation of tools to enable event organizers to capture the backchannel and to integrate it with the main themes and presentations of the conference, to create a fluid dialogue that demonstrates an understanding of the audience and makes the links between the disparate comments. By using Event Eye, organisers will understand the mood and interests of their audience and will be able to react in real time to audience feedback and need. Event Eye has the potential to build the social capital of a conference, capture the collective intelligence and to turn an event into a movement."

Post describing use of Grademark at Huddersfield and the larger e-submission and e-marking roll-out.  Some interesting stuff about rubrics and reusable comments that will also fit with Lightwork.

"As part of my open textbook on Teaching in a Digital Age, I am working my way through theories of learning and methods of teaching. I will post shortly my initial draft on theories of learning and their relevance for a digital age. In this post I want to discuss the lecture and its relevance for a digital age. Comments as always are more than welcome."

Another chronic article in the Chronicle but at least most of the comments tear it apart right from the start. How we can't learn because we don't use paper texts any more. Like ...?

Freedom of speech and responsibility. How positive moderation can allow positive voices to flourish and silence trolls.

Pretty rubbish article that doesn't differentiate between fully online and blended teaching and none of the commenters understand this either.

Algorithmic proctoring - a response from Proctorio and see comments

Testing a gamified course against a normal course. (I think this isn't really gamification but just reward. I think for it to be gamified there has to be a challenge intrinsic to the activity not just marking activities as complete.)
