SUMMARY:Yellowdig Webinar — A New Approach to Online Discussions 
DESCRIPTION: \n\nAre online discussions leaving you uninspired? Are your st
 udents\ngetting tired of the standard “post once\, comment twice”\ndis
 cussion format? Do weekly discussion forums feel more like a\ncollection o
 f short essays than authentic dialogue?\n\nRather than doing away with onl
 ine discussions entirely\, faculty at\nLeBow are reimagining their discuss
 ion activities with YELLOWDIG\n[https://learn.dcollege.net/bbcswebdav/inst
 itution/LeBow/Course_Specific_Resources/_General/Yellowdig/Introducing%20Y
 ellowDig.pdf].\nYellowdig is an online discussion tool that encourages\nCO
 MMUNITY-BUILDING within courses. Unlike a traditional discussion\nboard\, 
 Yellowdig uses the layout and conventions of a social media\nplatform — 
 creating a familiar and fun experience for students. As\nthey post about c
 ourse topics and comment on their peers’ responses\,\nstudents automatic
 ally earn points\, which instantly feed back into\nBlackboard. This encour
 ages engagement for learners and simplifies\ngrading for instructors.\n\nO
 N THURSDAY\, NOV. 17\, join the LeBow InTech team for an informational\nse
 ssion on Yellowdig. Hear from faculty who currently use Yellowdig\ndiscuss
 ions and get tips and inspiration on how Yellowdig could be\nintegrated in
 to your next course.\n\nThis virtual event will be held on Zoom and is ope
 n to Drexel faculty\,\nteaching PhD candidates and teaching staff. A recor
 ding link will be\nsent to all who register\, including those who are unab
 le to attend the\nevent live.\n\nPLEASE REGISTER FOR THIS EVENT NO LATER T
 HAN WEDNESDAY\, NOV. 16. We\nhope to see you there!\n
