This is Dr. Melanie Lenahan. She is a biology professor.

She organized a #RIOSLearningCommunity (with Dr. Drew Lewis) that explored alternative grading practices. This is what she said about it. #LetsLearnTogether
A photo of Melanie Lenahan with a quote. It says: "What I found was really impactful were the open conversations. It was really important giving our participants time to talk about things and talk out loud about different strategies and barriers. I think Drew (co-facilitator) really helped in facilitating a structure that allowed for a lot of conversations."

This is Dr. Drew Lewis. He is a mathematician and education researcher.

Last Fall, he organized a #RIOSLearningCommunity (with Dr. Lenahan) that explored alternative grading practices. This is what he said about it. #LetsLearnTogether
A photo of Drew. Text reads: "There's tons of different options for active learning and things. It's the exact same thing with assessment. So it’s important to try to make sure people understand that there are all these options and try and help them figure out which one fits what they're trying to do with their students best."

This is Camila.

Last year, she organized a #RIOSLearningCommunity (with Dr. Emery) that explored open science and open data through an equity and social justice lens. This is what she said about it. #LetsLearnTogether
A photo of Camila. Text reads: "What we were talking about can get sensitive and I think that's the hard part to have this conversation. So on the flip side, it's really great to have the space and the structure to do so, to talk about this topic."

This is Nate.

Last year, he organized a #RIOSLearningCommunity (with Dr.Vargas Poulsen) that explored open science and open data through an equity and social justice lens. This is what he said about it. #LetsLearnTogether
A photo of Nate. Text reads: "We asked them, what are your goals in participating in this session. Maybe we could have been more adamant about reiterating that throughout. Like, you're gonna have to read things that you're uncomfortable with, but we're here to talk about it."
