Data collection doesn't have to be an evil enterprise, a la Mark Zuckerberg! Online teaching is ideal for collecting data from students because I feel like they are more inclined to be honest.

Where I was.
Where I was.
Let me start off with a face palm. Before this class, I used one survey at the end of the term about the book. That's.... it. Yeah.....I know.....
I'm really type A and try to learn new features on my own, but I didn't think outside of Canvas.

Where I am.
I set up lots of surveys using Google forms, Flipgrid (more personalized) and anonymous surveys with the Canvas quiz feature. I have students check in without points attached and with credit available almost every week or two, whether it is on a concept in the reading or another question they have. I set up discussion boards to where students can get credit for asking questioning, not just answering mine! I do a regular Padlet exercise on the "Roses and Thorns" of the reading.

I'm going to start recording videos to start off each unit next semester. I also like the idea of having students "add to curriculum" by being a teacher's aid to a unit, adding resources and moderating discussions.

I use Padlet to have students define terms in their own words and to work with difficult concepts or unclear messages in readings. I especially like the "Rosebuds and Thorns" page where students can express something they know and something they feel unclear about.
Survey says!
Survey says!
Students take a lot of surveys in this class, sometimes for points, sometimes anonymously, but the feedback has been very helpful in creating better content. It's also good to receive criticism as a teacher to remember what it's like to take in information about revision.
