00:09:11 Christopher Nesi (Mr. Nesi): Happy Monday Everyone! 00:10:42 Rebecca Givan: https://www.rutgersaaup.org/ 00:11:35 Danyel Ferrari: HI everyone I am Danyel from the School of Communication and Information and one of the moderators today 00:14:21 Chris Nesi (@mrnesi): Woot Woot Jillian! 00:14:29 anapairet: Hello. I’m Ana Pairet, UGD in the French department and proud union member. Thanks for all you do! 00:14:41 Rebecca Givan: https://www.rutgersaaup.org/ 00:15:05 Jillian Toczylowski: Thank you so much, Becky and all! 00:15:11 Danyel Ferrari: Hi Ana! So nice to see you at at these! 00:16:11 Jillian Toczylowski: Videos will be posted shortly- not there just yet 00:16:18 leah price: Hi all, I'm Leah Price of English & Rutgers Book Initiative rutgers.edu/ru-book-initiative/, thanks to our union reps for this and much else! 00:16:34 Chris Nesi (@mrnesi): Thank you in advance to everyone who is taking time this morning! 00:18:01 Sean T Mitchell: Hey All, I'm Sean T Mitchell, Assoc Prof of Anthro in Newark and a member of the union's EC. I'm here because I still feel lost about how to best teach my classes starting next week (!). Thanks very much to all of you who have put this together! 00:19:00 Danyel Ferrari: Hi Sean! Glad to have you here! 00:19:52 Sean T Mitchell: Thanks! 00:20:06 Bria Paige: Hello everyone! My name is Bria Paige, a graduate student in the English department and a new TA. Also nervous about teaching for the first time next week and remotely at that. Also, I have an orientation at 12, so I will have to leave early, but happy to hear this will be recorded and provided later. Thanks again! 00:20:51 Danyel Ferrari: HI Bria, we will post these on the union website along with resources about online teaching 00:21:47 Danyel Ferrari: thanks for being here :) 00:29:29 anapairet: Mary’s recommendations make a lot of sense. Synchronous engagement in AR is best practices. However it may widen the availability gap, with some students able to use all resources, and others who are not. 00:35:18 sara: Good morning everyone! I am Sara - a doctorate student in the school of criminal justice - Newark. I am teaching Contemporary Policing this fall. This course will be taught synchronously to ensure classroom engagement and discussion - live in response to lectures. What are some best practices to ensure that everyone remain respectful through on-line learning? Obviously, per this summer's activities and such, policing is a hot topic and can be controversial so I just want to ensure students can be open and honest but respectful as well as emphasizing that the class is a safe space to share and discuss. 00:36:56 Jeffrey Lawrence: Thanks for those great questions/issues, Sara and Ana. We’ll start with those once we open up for Q&A 00:37:12 sara: Great - thanks! 00:38:47 anapairet: Thank you! 00:42:54 anapairet: Students report it’s harder to keep up with assignments in AR delivery. I had that experience myself in two-week webinar—it was easy to miss assignments and assignments and I tended to focus on deadlines rather than content. Any strategies to avoid this? 00:44:18 Danyel Ferrari: I will add that to the Q&A, Anan 00:44:25 Danyel Ferrari: *Ana 00:44:35 erinsantana: I’ve hesitated to work in mandatory use of social media bc I don’t want to assume students use it — esp. older students. As well as recognizing that students may be wanting to take breaks from social media esp. in this climate. 00:44:45 anapairet: If there’s time, many thanks. 00:47:02 anapairet: I concur with Erin. Don’t even have smartphone myself. 00:51:46 leah price: Advice on privacy concerns: I'd like to use twitter with a course-specific hashtag, but wonder whether it's OK to require students to use a commercial socia-media platform. Likewise, I'd like to ask students to handwrite letters about the reading and mail them (assuming USPS still exists) to a designated pen pal. But obviously I don't want to ask students to give out their home address to a classmate in case someone doesn't feel comfortable. Thanks for advice! 00:53:16 Danyel Ferrari: Thanks for that Leah! I will add that :) 00:55:59 leah price: Mary, thanks for offering to share social-media policies? That would be helpful for a lot of us. 00:56:15 anapairet: Love to see some samples of positive policies, Mary! 00:56:22 Danyel Ferrari: we will add that to the website with this video Leah! 00:57:35 sara: Thanks Chris and Mary for the insight! 01:02:40 Allen Ellenzweig: Allen Ellenzweig, PTL in the Writing Program. My understanding is that I cannot record an SR class because of privacy concerns. In fact, this is a Rutgers policy--so I'm told. I was going to record all SR classes so that they could be available to students who could not attend or as an aide to those who wished to review what was said. (I expect my course will be hybrid.) Can I have confirmation about this? 01:04:44 anapairet: This is a very important question, Allan. SAS is pushing instructors to record class sessions. I have raised privacy, surveillance and FERPA concerns. They said it’s Ok to post recordings if it’s within the LMS. 01:04:56 Jillian Toczylowski: The Union seeks to ensure that the professor retains right to their intellectual policy. We don’t mind if an instructor elects to record and post, only that they are not required to do so. 01:05:10 Jillian Toczylowski: *intellectual property 01:06:07 Allen Ellenzweig: The issue was less about intellectual property and more about the students' privacy. That seemed to be the sticking point. 01:06:58 Danyel Ferrari: I think you can record if you have consent from the students Allen 01:07:59 Allen Ellenzweig: Danyel, then even if one student does not want to record, I would be duty bound NOT to record. Right? 01:08:36 anapairet: International students are very concerned abut recordings. 01:08:37 Jillian Toczylowski: Same way as you wouldn’t share their papers or coursework without their express consent. It makes sense to ask them in an environment where they may be giving responses 01:09:58 Jillian Toczylowski: On the website, we have sample syllabus language that somewhat addresses this. 01:10:11 anapairet: It’s not the same. Here we are sharing videos of people that give lot of information on race, gender, ethnicity, beliefs, etc. 01:11:09 anapairet: The syllabus language the union provided is very useful—thanks for all! 01:11:44 sara: Thanks for hosting and sharing - appreciate this!
