Instructor Training:
LockDown Browser and Respondus Monitor
LockDown Browser is a custom browser that prevents digital cheating during an online exam. Respondus Monitor is a companion application for LockDown Browser that deters cheating when students take online exams in non-proctored environments. Students use their own computers with a standard webcam to record assessment sessions. The training will cover the student perspective using each application. We’ll also cover the instructor perspective, including the proctoring data collected, the Review Priority system, timeline, and milestone features. Best practices and tips for success with both applications will be included as well.

This comprehensive training webinar is intended for instructors who plan to use LockDown Browser and/or Respondus Monitor with online exams. The session provides a detailed demonstration of both applications, including new enhancements that make Respondus Monitor even more effective and easy to use.

The Academic Success Center would like to recognize our amazing writing tutors and staff who presented at the 2020 Mid Atlantic Writing Center Association Conference!

Here are some highlights:

Partnering for student success: Centering student agency in the writing and research process. 
Presenters: Erin Durham, Elaine MacDougall, Allison Jennings-Roche, Beck Hertl, Emma Jett, and Kyndall Hardwick
The library and writing center staff have developed a strong collaborative relationship to center student agency in the research and writing process at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC).

What Do “Diversity” and “Social Justice” Mean to Writing Center Practitioners?
Presenters: Violeta Brito, Uchendu Uchendu, Fleurine Amouzou Guiffo
This roundtable will engage participants to think critically about diversity and social justice in writing centers. We will analyze the past, present, and future pedagogies of writing centers in the context of social justice.

Creating Trauma-Informed Writing Workshops: Reflection and Intervention in the Narratives of Our Lives. 
Presenter: Elaine MacDougall, Writing Center Director.
Trauma-Informed writing workshops allow space for reflection and intervention in our own thought processes. Writers can reflect on their own sense of a “dominant cultural narrative” and work to transform that narrative if necessary, giving voice to silence when imposed on individuals in our communities, including writing center spaces.

Developing more effective tutoring strategies for multilingual writers in the Writing Center. 
Presenters: Ajay Kharkar, Jamie Denton
This Data Dash presentation features the early findings of research on strategies to increase comfort for multilingual writers in our Writing Center.

To our presenters, we thank you for your work to make our Writing Center more inclusive and supportive to all learners.
