“Wisdom is not a product of schooling but of the lifelong attempt to acquire it.”

— Albert Einstein

Dr. Laura Gibbs is a professor of humanities at the University of Oklahoma, teaching mythology and folklore online, challenging her students to develop higher-order Bloom Taxonomy along with 21st Century skills as they explore the content of her courses. Laura contributed a chapter to the book Ungrading: Why Rating Students Undermines Learn (and What to Do Instead) titled “Let’s talk about grading.”

In this episode, Dr. Gibbs will discuss how ungrading is a natural fit for teaching online and how she challenges her students to create and think critically in a virtual environment.

This the second episode of a six-part series where you will hear from the chapter authors who will help us dive deeper into their ideas around assessment.
