Ungrading with Dr. Ebru Ustundag

In this episode, we explore the concept of ungrading: What is it? How do we get started? What might it mean for students in higher education? After attending the Digital Pedagogy Lab in 2019, Dr. Ebru Ustundag began exploring ungrading in her classes. Over the past year and half she has used ungrading as a teaching strategy to respond to the Covid-19 pandemic, and to deepen student learning and agency. Join us for a discussion of why disrupting traditional grading practices in higher education might benefit both students and instructors. Dr. Ebru Ustundag is an Associate Professor of Geography and Tourism Studies at Brock University, and a recipient of numerous teaching awards, including the Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance (OUSA) Teaching Excellence Award.
