“Ungrading” in the Online Classroom

Online learning opens doors, yet “upgrading” provides a teaching practice that may promote student learning in the online course. Learn about actionable tips for supporting “upgrade” in virtual classes. We’ll share best practices for clearly communicating “upgrading” options such extending deadlines for extra assignments, enabling assessment reattempts, facilitating study groups, and more. Join us to discover targeted strategies to champion equitable access, help more students succeed, and open new doors through online learning. The session may not fit all disciplines and teaching philosophies, but it’s intended to rethink how we “grade.”
