In our November DOLCE event on Friday, November 3rd, we heard presentations from Narine Yegiyan from
Communication and Pamela Chisum from the University Writing Program.
In her talk, “Managing attention and engagement through emotion
regulation in a live on-line classroom, Narine Yegiyan helped
attendees better understand how students allocate attention in a
classroom. Yegiyan uses a motivated information processing approach to
design her hybrid and in-person classroom environments. She reported
on experiments conducted in real classroom settings in UC Davis and the
Republic of Georgia and explain how her findings inform her proposed
model as well as pedagogical practice.
Pamela Chisum takes full advantage of the multimedia affordances of
UC Davis Canvas to offer audio feedback to student writing assignments.
Her practice can allow her to share more thorough, holistic, and
effective comments than the typed comments that students know well. We
will discuss the processes seasoned writing faculty use to help students
improve their critical thinking, practice deep listening, and assess
their own writing effectively.
