Viewpoints: Cameras on, cameras off?
Thursday, March 25 | 1PM - 2PM
Our first event in our new Viewpoints series – “Cameras on, cameras off” – explores the issue of whether students, staff, faculty and others should be required to have their cameras on during synchronous sessions, or have the option to turn them off and remain unseen. At first glance, it may appear to be a binary issue, but upon closer inspection we see the complexities when delving into issues such as equity, student engagement, cognitive load, cultural considerations, and connecting to others.
Topic: Cameras on, cameras off?
Panelists:
Dr. André Mazawi, Professor, EDST
Olabanji (Banji) Onipede, MA student

Academic Integrity in the Online Classroom: Traditional Practices and New Challenges
Viewpoints Discussion Series
Wednesday, April 21 | 1PM - 2PM
This session will focus on academic integrity in the online classroom. Within a classroom, student accountability and monitoring can be important. Traditionally, this may have been through taking attendance, monitoring in exams, checking in on student conversations. In the online classroom, this can be complicated – some instructors have opted to use proctoring services, alternative assessments, analytics, or a reconceptualization on what needs to be monitored in the classroom. What are your thoughts on academic integrity in the online learning environment?

Viewpoints Discussion Series
Thursday, May 20 | 3:30PM – 4:30PM
Classroom management and building a respectful community culture in a virtual environment can be approached in different ways.
