SERVINGS:

Ingredients

• FOR THE SHRIMP:
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 6 tablespoons hot sauce, such as Frank's, divided
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest, from 1 large lemon
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt 
• FOR THE SAUCE
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/3 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 4 ounces fresh goat cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped chives
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley

Preparation

Lauren Volo

In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with 4 tablespoons of the hot sauce, garlic, lemon zest and oil. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the olive oil and shallots and sauté the shallot for about two minutes. Add the spices and continue to cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, for one more minute. Add the heavy cream and salt. Reduce the heat to low and simmer that mixture for about 5 minutes. It should thicken slightly. Now whisk in the goat cheese a little at a time until fully incorporated and smooth. Remove from the heat and allow the sauce to cool for 5 minutes. Stir in the herbs.

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium high heat. Season the shrimp with the salt and grill for about 2 to 3 minutes per side or until opaque all the way through. Remove to a clean bowl and toss with the remaining hot sauce. Serve with the goat cheese dipping sauce.

Intelligent Agents

What is an intelligent Agent? An automatic notification

Can include links

Can go to instructor or to student

Examples of Use:
1. when students have not logged into the course for a specific number of days
2. drop in grade (set a specific level)
3. Viewed a specific content topic
4. Gamification techniques (leveling up) "Congratulations you've achieved the next level..."
5. Rewards for when students complete assignments for the week (funny pictures, fun youtube video) ***complete optional assignments (you get an extra bonus like an extra study sheet)
6. emailing first time a student accesses the course

Benefits:
Performs tedious tasks automatically
Saves time
Helps instructors track overall student activity (maybe something isn't set correctly)
Provides just in time feedback for students/instructors
The larger the class the more vital they become to managing the course and students

Release Conditions
Create and attach the condition type

Replacement Strings
1. Uses system information to personalize "Welcome Amanda" by using code with curly brackets anywhere there is an html editor.
2. Use naturally and not too frequently (don't want it to sound canned)
3. Can only use system information (so if a student prefers nickname--you can't change it)

{InitiatingUser}student's name (but full name otherwise {InitiatingUserFirstName}
{OrgName}
{OrgUnitName}Course Name

Welcome messages
Not log in for 10 days (that's sequential days not business days)

Disclaimer: "Please do not reply to this message by hitting the reply button as your message will unfortunately not go through.  Instead you may contact me at xxxxxx

Go to "edit course" and then communications there will be "intelligent agents"

Use the schedule otherwise the agent doesn't stop (even when class has ended).

Can be done by class or as a system (eg for a student who hasn't logged into any course the first 7 days)

Can have email sent to others outside of class (like an advisor).

Cheat Sheet to codes: "What special email addresses can I use" under the BCC

Will copy over as brackets and will populate with new information from within bracket.

Use wisely and sparingly. Be clear.  Review. Useful, impactful.

Setting Students up for success

Teaching with as volleyball metaphor--instructors are the "setters".

Objectives
tasks
tools
experts
file types
DIY
proficiency
gap
create precise assignment instruction
evaluation

10 Steps
1. Clarify Assignment Learning objectives
2. Define tasks that make up the assignment (viewing, creating and submitting) Turn each assignment requirement into a task. (read, collect, Formatting, exporting, -- Break all of it down
3. What tools Must/Can students use to complete each task in the assignment? Tool versus specific tool "word processor" versus Microsoft Word (only require a specific if it is part of the actual learning objective) Table/Chart with task, category, and  tool --visual helps lead students
4. Become/Find an "expert" for each required tool  (You or Youtube, Atomic Learning, Lynda.com?) Add "expert" or "resource" to table/chart.
5. Whenever digital files are "shared" determine your accepted file types. (process files which is manipulative, or "Product" files (.pdf or .docx is ok, .mov, .mp3, .pps etc.)  Word and pages not always the best.  If F2F class be careful to still identify the file types if "bringing to class" because your school computer may not have the program the student created it on so it may not open.  So designate to ensure it corresponds with what is available.
6. Do it yourself. (Can also give estimated time for completion.)
7. Determine your current students' proficiency with each task/tool.
8. Mind the proficiency gaps. Gap filler (guest speaker, gap filler assignment, proactive tutorial like "tools you'll use", have a human "expert" as the second touch)
9. Create precise and complete assignment instructions. (Precious of language, Jonah. Book "Giver")
10. Monitor and evaluate the assignment instructions for future semesters.

Ease of navigation - two clicks

Research videos- 6 minutes

Chunk your Info no more than 3 scrolls

Use video-don't overly stress about professional quality

Don't make things due over the weekends-Mondays and Wednesdays seem more ideal (Kari's additiona: I've been preaching this for years. And worse yet, don't do midnight deadlines when no help is available.  I do 1:00 pm)

Student Discussions (students choose questions-include something from discussion on the next quiz)

Voice thread option for discussions

Rubrics

Make sure gradebook matches syllabus

Can use chat tool as "virtual office hour" (archive) (can give extra credit for participating)

Surveys

Notifications--good
