It’s hard to describe our events for a proper archive, because they are basically open mic, and people are likely to talk about almost anything. We did have one incident in this one. I had gone in my “office” for the meeting, around a critical corner from the wifi router in the living room, and I started to get notices pop up on my Zoom window that my connection was unstable. Then while i was talking, everyone else in the chat froze one by one (there were only two there besides me at that point) and then I lost my connection to the chat. The Zoom window closed, but then came back on again, and I was returned to the meeting. I had made Graham a co-host, so the meeting was still in progress. I remember seeing a notice appear that the host had locked the meeting, but I had just successfully re-entered, so I checked, I was still host and I hadn’t locked the meeting as far as I knew. There was a lot happening on my screen, so I ignored it, and we carried on.
However, IF I had checked our room settings, I didn’t think to at the time, I would have seen that the room was indeed locked. This only gradually became apparent to us. In the first place, time passed and no one else was joining us. That was unusual, so I checked the Facebook stream. There were people there and they were complaining of trouble getting into our meeting. Two people were requesting the password (thinking that must be the problem, so I took the time to provide it to them). But Chris Fry reported in the Facebook live chat that the room was locked. I checked, we fixed it, and others started joining us in the room.
All tolled we had Graham and Nina and I in the first part of the conversation, and were joined near the end by Michael Birch, Chris Fry, and Birgit Ferran (on her iPhone).

What is TALIN?
TALIN stands for Teaching and Learning in IsolatioN, https://tinyurl.com/talin2020
The idea for TALIN was prompted by suggestions in numerous cross-fertilizing communities of practice that there was needed a space where members of these CoPs could meet online and talk informally to one another about how they are dealing with changes in their personal and professional contexts and what they are doing to help others in this trying time of pandemic.
Learning2gether can host TALIN events in Zoom during times of isolation/lockdown if they are intended to be recorded and shared with the wider community, and if they take place between 02:00-14:00 UTC
TALIN events here are open to all and free to attend.
If you would like to propose an event or invite others to meet in conversation

- Wait for approval
- Write in your event on the schedule. Give the time in UTC if you can, and give the time in your location also as a double check on time
You can host the event yourself, but if you want Learning2gether to host it and promote it, please allow enough time to check that I am available, at least a few days in advance.

Title: Students generating and using feedback in online learning environments
Abstract
Teacher transmission models of feedback are largely ineffective: they fail to engage students; they are often too late in the process; they are labour-intensive and unsustainable for teachers. Instead, students need to be coached and motivated in generating, processing and using feedback. In online learning environments, a repertoire of student-led strategies might include: peer audio and video feedback; collaborative writing through wikis or GoogleDocs; and curated eportfolios. Teachers may also want to establish their social presence to reduce isolation in distance learning through screencasting or video feedback. Effective feedback processes involve shared responsibilities, with teachers designing feedback opportunities and students using feedback to enhance their work. These kinds of teacher-student partnerships are a complex undertaking that require flexibility, negotiation and trust to overcome social distancing and discourses of students as consumers. Less can often be more. Feedback processes need to be actionable for students, and workload-friendly for teachers.

What happened
Dr. Carless introduced peer feedback in general and settled quickly on the notion that he favored peer feedback
He often stopped and took questions from the audience. Here it was nice to hear from Hala from Sudan, now in Bahrain
He went on to discuss various ways to provide feedback
- Screencasting
- Curated eporfolios
- Authentic feedback as designed by Dawson, Carless, and Lee, 2020
- Social media feedback
Dr. Carless ended with these recommendations
The webinar was recorded and the recording link should have been distributed among registered users. I don’t see where I receieved that link in my email.

A follow-up post in ‘myTESOL Lounge’ reported on a “powerful, generative and provocative conversation with Professor Power-Carter for 47 minutes. In the Q & A session in the last 3 minutes, we were rudely zoom-bombed despite precautions.” The event apparently was was disrupted by someone expressing, “I hate white people.” Several other similar comments were made in the thread.
