We asked participants: Share with us one of your take-aways related to the goal of your FIG's work this semester. Here's what they shared:

• Even something you were doing successfully can be improved.

• I am feeling very motivated to streamline all of my courses even further using the OEI rubric as a guideline

• Wonderful sharing with co-faculty

• I think they there are a number of ways that a course can be effectively organized and most importantly, we want to make it easy for students to access the material.

• I am excited to make my Canvas shell better...I am excited to assess my students' grades more equitably...and I am excited to integrate from study skills into my English curriculum.

• I am asking myself, "Why do I grade this way?" I will slowly be changing my grading practices. The first two will be grading on a 0-4 scale and better rubrics.

• Making stats more relevant has been a amazing experience. We have had some great classroom discussions and great student engagement.

• I'm updating my UDL assessment options for future semesters. This group gave me some new ideas and motivation.

• How poorly written our evaluation form is for online teaching! That cross-walk was so hard to do because so few things had parallels to the appraisal form. And so many important aspects of an equitable and good online course are missing!

• We didn't quite get there since it is a big project, but we made very good progress towards it and have a good plan for moving forard.

• Baby steps is a great strategy

• There is real value to sustained professional learning that comes from creating a community of practice focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion.

• Teaching examples are really helpful in understanding the CVC OEI rubric.

• There are lots of different ways to do SBG, and it really benefits student learning!

• Assessment can look very different than a traditional exam.

• The sharing of resources and knowledge has been valuable.

• I will be changing to Standards Based Grading

• Canvas shells can be designed in so many different ways while still meaningfully engaging with students and delivering course content. Instructors still have the space to inject their own styles into the course without sacrificing quality and accessibility.

• There are many effective ways to approach the same goal.

• We need to keep having conversations about our teaching practices, and critically examine *why* we set policies.

• I feel that this new development will not only help students in one class, but will help them throughout their entire college career.

• Online learning can be a place for more student interaction than I originally thought. In addition, I can be more equitable in giving students more opportunities to learn the material and not be set in my ways with hard deadlines and due dates.

• Permitting and encouraging different formats in which students can submit their work enriches the learning process.

• It's really wonderful to see the work my FIG cohort is doing. Their students are lucky to have them!

• I learned how to reevaluate my grading and 2. I grew my community

• That we can take a group with diverse opinions and come up with some consistency in how to assess a class without feeling like we're losing academic freedom to do so.

• I'm rethinking how I grade- making sure I'm grading on subject mastery v. following directions
