This article: Using Video Grading To Help Students Succeed from Campus Technology, showed up in my email this morning.
After reading it, I realized that we have all the tools here to use our grading process as another way to have instructor presence in our online courses (this would work for all courses, but presence is so vital in distance). How? Well we have UAA Screencast-o-Matic, we have Blackboard Inline grading, and we have Google Apps for Ed YouTube accounts. So the process would be 1) Open your “Needs Grading” list in Blackboard 2) Select a students assignment (be careful with the video not to show other student information on screen) 3) Open SOM to record, set margins to fit within the Inline grading window, begin the recording. As you review and mark up the student paper, verbalize the correct and incorrect areas of the paper. 4) Save the SOM recording to your GAE/YouTube account. 5) Embed the Video in the Text Editor in the Feedback area of Grade Center.
