Hi! My name is Beth Ambort, and I'm here today to talk to you about

peer reviews in online education.

Why should you use peer reviews in your online classrooms?

First of all, peer views promote student engagement and

student engagement enhances learning.

When students know they are going to provide feedback,

it makes them more aware of criteria that they will be evaluated on themselves.

Peer reviews can also introduce diversity in feedback.

When peer reviews are not used,

students rely solely on your knowledge and skills for feedback.

However obtaining evaluative and constructive feedback from multiple

sources can provide insight in areas that you may have overlooked.

Students are not the only people in the classroom who benefit from peer reviews.

You as the instructor can use them to determine what grades should be awarded,

and you can use them to gain insight into how well the whole class

understands the concepts.

Armed with this insight, you can adjust the content in your courses as needed.

Peer reviews help students learn evaluation

techniques that can be transferred to real world skills.

It is commonplace in business to ask employees to critique their coworkers

work or provide performance feedback.

Providing evaluative and constructive feedback

is a skill that requires critical thinking and finesse.

Finally peer reviews help your students learn by

regurgitating material that is presented in different ways.

This reinforces what they have learned when they completed their own assignment,

and it helps them home in on important concepts.

There are a few best practices to keep in mind when you're setting up your

peer review assignments.

First, don't assume your students know how to conduct peer reviews.

As an instructor you will need to provide information on how to

successfully complete the peer reviews.

Explain the purpose of them, the process to use, and your expectations up front.

Also don't forget your feedback serves as an example of the correct way to give

feedback, so be conscientious and demonstrate how to provide respectful and

informative commentary that is helpful for learning.

When implementing peer reviews, consider making them anonymous.

This will help reviewers feel more comfortable when providing constructive

criticism, and it will also prevent bias.

Another important tip is to use rubrics for peer reviews.

If you're learning management system allows you to build rubrics into your

assignments, consider doing so; because built-in rubrics tend to be

more efficient than downloadable rubrics that have to be filled out and

then uploaded for submission.

However, with this in mind,

it doesn't hurt to add in that extra additional downloadable copy of

the rubric; because it can serve as a good reference outside the classroom.

Next, don't forget to consider how long it will take you and

your students to complete the reviews.

Make sure you allow enough time for

students to conduct their peer reviews properly.

You may also need to build in a little extra time for

review of late submissions (that is if they are allowed).

Finally, my last piece of advice is to make

the task of peer reviewing as easy as possible.

For instance, do you have a good way for students to submit their peer reviews, so

they can be easily accessed for evaluation?

Will students have to upload and download a lot of material?

If so will they run into bandwidth issues?

My point here is to make sure the process is efficient and as easy as possible.

So, what are the drawbacks, you might ask.

I want to start off by pointing out that

there are very few drawbacks to utilizing peer reviews, and

there are ways to limit the negative potential effects.

As I've mentioned earlier, it is possible for bias to creep into reviews; so

it is a good idea to conduct anonymous peer reviews when possible.

I would like to point out that instructors may have a hard time with bias

themselves at times, so additional feedback in the grading

process can help put you at ease when it comes to preventing bias.

The biggest drawback of peer reviews can be that it's time consuming.

As an instructor, you will likely have to invest a little bit more time and

effort into grading.

Although, considering all the advantages, this is a small price to pay.

Nigeria election 2019: Chike Ukaegbu not too young to take on education | DW News - Duration: 4:34.

On the election campaign trail in Abuja, Nigeria's capital, Chike Ukaegbu is visiting a private

school.

He's the youngest-ever Nigerian presidential candidate, and education is his central theme.

Ukaegbu lived in the US, where he worked as a mathematics professor.

He's calling for 35 per cent of the country's budget to go towards education.

The school's principal is surprised to see a politician who understands education.

The school receives no state support and is financed by fees affordable only to those

earning good money.

The political failures of the past few decades

can be seen three hours' drive from Abuja.

In Kaduna, in north Nigeria, is a state-funded school barely worthy of the name.

Parts of it have collapsed; the classrooms have neither desks nor chairs.

Abdul is 14 years old - himself a student but currently responsible for his whole class.

"I take care of them because I'm older and want to help my brothers and sisters like

this.

The teachers aren't here again, that's why I'm doing it."

Here, there are no books, jotters or chalk.

Abdul's only learning aid is a whip.

It's 9am - and only now has the first teacher shown up for work.

The school has only four teachers for 800 students.

Muhammadu Hassan's sons go to school here - a fact their father rues daily.

The teachers are poorly paid, he says.

No one would want to teach at such a school.

"My children should become doctors or soldiers.

They should have a worthwhile job and a good future.

That's my dream.

But under these circumstances, nothing will come of it."

If he had enough money, the motorbike-taxi driver says, he would have long ago sent his

children to private school.

The ruling party of President Buhari has been in power for five years in the federal state

of Kaduna.

The Commissioner of Education has shifted the blame for the educational situation onto

previous governments.

70 per cent of teachers were unqualified.

More than 20,000 teachers have been let go due to illiteracy.

Kaduna State spends a third of its budget on education - but, at a federal level, education

spending makes up only 7 per cent of the budget.

The issue plays no role in President Buhari's election campaign.

Chike Ukaegbu wants to change that - but he and his small party are struggling to be taken

seriously in Nigeria.

In spite of a minimal campaign budget, he wants to lay down

a marker.

Ukaegbu says it's a simple equation: if Nigeria, with its booming population, no longer invests

in education, the next crises will not be far away.

That, he says, is something every politician should understand.

Hello, welcome to Biogreat Tv, if you're new here please subscribe and turn on the notification

Biography of Ellen Sirleaf Johnson

Ellen, the Nobel Peace prize winner, is regarded as the Iron Lady of Africa.

This is because becoming President in a male dominated society is not what we come by every

day.

She's the first democratically elected female President in Africa.

Ellen Sirleaf Johnson is from a mixed family background with her father from Gola and Mother

having a mixed Kru and German ancestry, because of her education in America she is considered

America-Liberian but has said countless times that she does not see herself in that light.

Ellen's father wasn't born with the name Johnson but he adopted the name when he moved

to Monrovia because of his love for Liberia's first indigenous president, Hilary R.W. Johnson.

Johnson was raised by an America-Liberian family, the McCritty's.

Growing up he ventured into politics and later became the first Liberian from an indigenous

ethnic group to be elected into Liberia national legislature.

Her mother was born into poverty, but was adopted by a prominent America-Liberian family.

Ellen was born in 1938 in the city of Monrovia.

In 1948, she started her formal education at the College of West Africa, a preparatory

school and finished in 1955.

She fell in love with James Sirleaf and they got married when she was just 17.

Together they had four sons, and in 1961 they left for America where she obtained an associate

degree in Accounting at Madison Business College.

That same year, the couple divorced.

Shortly after their divorce she returned to school to finish her bachelor's degree.

In 1970, she got a BA from the Economics Institute of the University of Colorado Boulder and

studied economics and public policy at Harvard from 1969 to 1971.

Upon her return to Liberia she was appointed Assistant Minster of Finance in William Tolbert's

cabinet.

During her tenure, she initiated brilliant policies that helped the country's economy.

She resigned 1973 from Tolbert's administration after disagreeing with how the country's

money was been spent.

Years later, she was appointed as Minister of Finance from 1979 to April 1980.

Her boss was assassinated by Samuel Doe, who seized power in a military coup in 1980.

As Doe and his men took over, Sirleaf was made president of the Liberian Bank of Development

and Investment.

But their relationship did not last as she fled the country for criticizing Doe's government's

spending.

After moving to Washington, she worked for World Bank and in 1981, moved to Kenya to

serve as Vice President of the African Regional Office of Citibank.

In 1992, she was appointed Director of the United Nations Development Program.

Over the years, Sirleaf held countless positions in the international community- she was one

of the seven persons sent by Organization of African Unity now African Union to investigate

the 1994 Rwanda genocide.

Sirleaf was also the chairperson of the Open Society Initiative for West Africa and was

a visiting Professor at the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration.

Her interest in politics can be traced back to 1985 when she returned to Liberia to run

as Vice President with Jackson Doe under Liberian Action Party.

By August she was placed under house arrest, and afterwards sentenced to 10 years in prison

for sedition after found guilty of insulting members of the Samuel Doe government but she

was released following an outcry from the international community.

She was stopped from running for Vice Presidency and then opted for a Senate seat in Montserrado

County.

By 1989, Liberia Civil War started and Sirleaf raised money to support Taylor's opposition

against Doe.

She founded National Patriotic Front of Liberia with Taylor and Tom Woewiyu.

Because of the part she played in the war, Doe's government suggested that she be banned

from Liberia politics for 30 years.

Years later, she was against Taylor's handling of the war.

In 1996, ECOWAS intervened in the country's crisis and Sirleaf returned to contest in

the country's 1997 general election under the Unity Party and she came second in an

election marred by irregularities

She made known her displeasure about the result that favoured Taylor and was accused of treason,

she was sent on exile to Abidjan.

In 2005 after the end of the Second Liberian Civil War, she contested for presidency under

the same Unity Party- she was second to George Weah but in the runoff, she emerged winner.

Her inauguration had to be delayed because Weah rejected the results but after investigations,

she was inaugurated as the first female President in Liberia and Africa.

And in 2010, she ran for second tenure which sparked criticism from some quarters but by

16th of January 2012 she was sworn into office for second term.

Her net worth is about 1.7 million U.S.D

Distance Education Lesson - Duration: 6:57.

Good afternoon

Today we would like to take a look at Google Docs

Sharing and emailing as an attachment a way to get that information out to the folks that you need it to go to

So from my Google Drive, I have it opened up my easily practice HCT in march to success

this is a document that I will be sharing with staff and it's informational and

Steps to completing

the a CT practice test with students

Educators, this is something - this is how you would share documents with your students as well

If you want to collaborate if you want someone to work with you and see live

Changes what you want to do is share

If you want again that collaborative effort between you and your colleagues or your students with each other

You would click share which was right here at the top right hand corner

If you hover over that says it's private only to me that's saying that I have not shared it yet

So I'm going to click share left click on share

This box will pop up it gives you a chance to

Enter who all you want to share it with

It's here if you want to email it as a link

That is here

Gives you the link

Something important for you to know when you are sharing Google

Docs is there are different options if you click here

Um only specific people can access it anyone with in my organization can edit

Anyone can comment anyone can view and then you can customize it

And saying here if you're putting in a specific person

If you click here can edit that means they can do and make changes just like you can and you can do that live

They can comment at comments to it or they can just simply view the document today

We're focusing on the editing the clarity. So we're going to keep that on edit shows edits by showing the pits. I'm going to

Share it with my personal email. I've emailed myself things before foods kind of generate my email there

So emailing me I have editing rights, and then I'm going to spin

Say them outside of the usual organization

You know and that is okay again. This is how you can share documents with students and they can live

make changes

so one example is

myself and our avid director was working on this and we were looking at this together as

She gave me one document wasn't quite what I thought my staff needed something making changes. So let's say I want her input with this

She can look at that. I'm going to open up my personal email as if I were her and

Show you what that would look like when someone else is in here editing with you

There's lots of safety features within Google and it always wants me to log in

What you want to be looking for is something popping up over here to let you know that it is shared and that person is

There with you live so that should be come up any second now

Well ruin that here is my black cursor

and

There's that pop up you can see that pink in has shown up

saying that someone else is in the document live with me right now and

This pink is going to match this pink here. And if you hover over that it shows my name

So that's saying that I'm currently in this document and you can see my black cursor here

I've just highlighted that and you can see on the other device. I'm there and from that device. I'm going to do some highlighting

And you can see that it has highlighted it pink

so the more people you add to collaborate the more colors you have here and it gives them their name and

as they're working in the document you can see

So we're working in this document together

We've got it done

And now we're ready to send it to the staff

Yeah, you can share it with your staff like this as we did earlier

Want my favorite ways to share things with staff so that I know they can't edit it cuz I go file

Email as an attachment

So let's say you have a newsletter. You want to send home to your parents. This is a good way to

email it these email it as an attachment and

Choose PDF because PDFs are very easy for folks to open not everybody has

Microsoft Word or Google Docs. So if you email it as a PDF, it's pieces of them being able to open it

It's very likely. So again, you just put

Here, who is it being emailed to?

And I'm gonna email it to my school so that you can see what it looks like in the email

The subject line is there and then you can add a message

Please read

the directions

Provided in the attached document

Or a sketchy practice

All right, and we just have it sent a copy to yourself so you've got that documentation or you can click

stand and it will email as

if that PDF attachment

Here to my gmail box

Refresh it and there is it has emailed me. I'm gonna click on that

It's showing it that it was a Google Doc here. Here's the message and down here

Is that PDF attachment and you can see?

So just to kind of recap a couple things that we have done with Google Docs

We had our document prepared we shared it so that we could collaborate with others

And we also emailed it as an attachment. So that folks could access it as a PDF document

Thank you for your time and working with Google Docs and the different ways of sharing it I hope you happy wonderful day
