Thanks for posting Katie!

43:44
how do I register for the DECO Retreat?

44:30
Haha for some reason I can'

44:30
Will the sessions be recorded, including the retreat?

44:34
@Tejal -- it is in the pre-conference workshop section -- make certain to add it to your cart!

44:36
I can’t see it .. lol

44:48
It doesn't ask, but I prefer the longer timeframe since those meetings are usually packed with great info =)

45:15
Piper, Tiffiny can respond about the rest of the conference. DECO will likely record the retreat since we will be doing it in a HyFlex format.

45:16
👍🏻

45:25
I am hoping next year we go back to mid June as the OTC date, that weekend is a tough time

45:30
Thanks, Jim.

46:13
Hi all... here is the link to register for the DECO retreat: www.eventbrite.com/e/168145426497/?discount=DEOTC22

46:23
Thanks Katie!

47:30
Wendy, agreed - my understanding is it wasn’t an intentional move but a byproduct of facility availability after pushing the physical conference from previous years.

49:05
We are just picking it back up. Any advice for a faculty member leading this initiative? Been reading all week the resources available online.

50:43
Hi Wendy - yes, next year, OTC'23, will be back to the second/third week in June. COVID effect for OTC'22... so sorry for the inconvenience!

student backlash. student anxiety. students who don't cheat but are concerned about the online rumor mill about what proctoring can and cannot do on their computers

01:06:30
I’d love our Bio faculty at GCC to hear this!

01:06:45
^My thoughts, exactly, Piper!

01:07:35
Even though they're not supposed to, some faculty are still charging students for proctoring technology. If you're a student who doesn't cheat, this would feel really unfair.

01:07:52
@Lisa, that is awful!

01:08:17
Yep - awful

01:09:07
i think this is one profile of when/how cheating happens, but we've had cases of contract cheating, too. it's rare but it's a different profile. how to identify that?

01:10:05
Authentic assessment - especially if done over time with drafts and collaborative steps - is a lot harder to hire a contract cheater to do for you.

01:11:50
maybe we could get more adopters of authentic assessment if we think of a nickname or synonym for Authentic Assessment that appeals to those folks who have resisted so far, e.g. “anti-cheating assessments” 🤔

01:11:51
I have the students create their own quizzes. I give extra credit for them and then the students learn as they are creating the questions AND I have a different quiz every semester

01:12:20
^Scaffolding works. I had a student do nothing until the last draft. If we build our assessments to be completed over time with smaller tasks, it is fairly easy to see a paper from an essay mill. @Wendy -- totally! (And they make their quizzes for each other harder... LOL.)

01:12:22
Authentic assessments can also be portable (they can be used for portfolios, future courses, careers, etc.)

01:12:22
i think it also brings attention to the need for adequate FT faculty positions and adequate support for PT faculty. equity considerations for faculty work as well as students.

01:12:23
@Wendy - brilliant

01:12:26
Yes! We were just told by a Bio instructor that the term “authentic assessment” now offends the entire division

01:13:18
Piper, omg ! Probably the same people that tell people to have thicker skin about other issues

01:13:21
wow, @Piper! Authentic Assessment needs a PR team

01:13:43
My thoughts exactly, Jim!

01:13:52
Yes! We were advised to frame it as Project/Problem Based Learning. We did!

01:14:23
agree Katie. it also builds in so much more feedback in the learning process over one and done.

01:14:24
Sometimes it's just about finding the right words to say the same thing in a way that offends the fewest people

01:14:48
Yes, Lisa. We’re happy to oblige to get them on board

01:14:55
I recently came across the statement in an academic integrity training that "research indicates discussing integrity and having students make a pledge and reaffirm that pledge on individual assessments is the strongest way to reduce cheating among adult students." What do you all think of this?

01:15:30
I love the children’s book project!

01:15:33
Ali, “the strongest way” seems doubtful, but definitely it’s a good practice

01:15:50
Especially if the students themselves develop the pledge.

01:15:55
behavioral science supports this as well. https://fs.blog/dan-ariely-on-why-and-how-we-cheat/

01:17:35
@Ali, There's been research by social scientists that when someone formally declares a goal or pledge, they are indeed more likely to follow through. It's driven by the idea of "commitment and consistency.” We want to appear to be the kind of person who does what they say they'll do.

01:17:49
Here's a resource page for Academic Honesty and Authentic Assessments (co-created with my colleagues at Saddleback, Bridget Hoida and Jonathan Luque): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qJzhnEVbzPM59kb-IbsIb6Eath-pRtcl2jV8qYjJMmg/edit#heading=h.rab50kegs7dn

01:18:20
A book published under creative commons - I have shared chapters and the book with my colleagues - https://www.aupress.ca/app/uploads/120279_99Z_Conrad_Openo_2018-Assessment_Strategies_for_Online_Learning.pdf

01:18:36
@Ali I would be concerned that a student inclined to cheat would also be inclined to lie in that situation. I think a personal commitment to integrity may fall by the wayside in the midst of peer pressure during the semester

01:19:17
belonging also can reduce cheating! but it also depends on the cheating profile, if it is one assignment or contract cheating where already committed to a global cheating approach.

01:19:50
Agreed, @Kandace, for "active" cheaters. The pledge could be a useful strategy for those tempted to cheat but they've formally declared they won’t.

01:19:59
One thing we have heard from anatomy instructors..is that it is difficult to do authentic assessment when the questions are objective based (naming a body part) similar to what they may come across for the MCATs. Curious how others would respond to this.

01:20:14
And it sets up our classrooms as authoritative and punitive.

01:20:14
good point, Helen

01:21:08
@Tammara, I'd explore with the instructor how and when are students going to use the body parts. That context/situation can be the foundation of a more authentic assessment.

01:21:48
https://padlet.com/Katie_Datko/wxdi7megqjt9dsne

01:22:08
This is a great article from the NY Times for teaching students about the concept/industry of cheating: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/09/learning/cheating-essay-lesson-plan.html

01:22:26
@Tamara -- if students are taught how to take the MCAT and that is folded into the learning process, it can help students both with preparing for licensure and with test-taking strategies. An authentic assessment can be paired with formative assessments to help with test-taking and anxiety reduction.

01:23:23
Also I think there is this notion and anything that isn’t “authentic” assessment is automatically “inauthentic” which can create walls in these discussions with faculty who have relied on say standardized tests.

01:23:28
I think that Tammara’s point is important. How do we respond to instructors who feel that they must prepare students for later assessments or elements fo the discipline that are not authentic.

01:24:06
@Brett, the key is in the preparation.

01:24:13
Yes, Michelle - humanizing - creating an environment where students are known and valued and individually supported - can be a critical way of shifting the environment toward students viewing the environment as a place for learning, not a place where they’re simply trying to get a grade and move on. So if it’s a class where objective assessment is essential, creating that humanized environment may be huge.

01:24:17
i really like the way you are talking about skills and context of learning, and it's a really useful way to think through what makes learning authentic.

I love authentic assessment and have accidentally been doing it for years. I am concerned that I wouldn't be preparing them for their 4 year institutions that are doing more traditional assessments.

01:26:59
Good point, Jennifer about “authentic vs. inauthentic” assessment.

01:27:34
I have been using authentic assessments for some time - while it takes a while to develop and score, the outcomes allow my students to demonstrate skills once they transfer to their 4-year which is what I want for them.

01:29:33
I’ve done authentic assessments in Composition, and sometimes students just have a hard time breaking out of the habit of copying, pasting, and adjusting someone else's words. In those cases, teaching self-confidence is the best response I’ve discovered

01:30:28
Thanks

01:30:33
@kandace, that’s another really important factor in cheating, I think. Anxiety and fear of not being good enough.
