Extended Abstract: 

In today’s packed, deadline-driven online classes, grading efficiently and effectively is more important than ever. Classes that are grading and paper-heavy seem almost unmanageable at times.

However, with clear goals and a plan in mind, every instructor can meet their deadlines. Furthermore, the Web 2.0 tools such as Flipgrid, Screencast-o-matic, and Loom that are currently available will forever transform the way instructors grade.

Jan Wakefield-Darvas and Stephanie Maher Palenque will provide tips on effective grading practices and tools that will help any instructor meet even the most daunting deadlines, and engage their learners at the same time. Attendees will leave the session with handouts and concrete ideas they will be able to implement immediately in their current online classes.
