Other invited event:

Invited Panel Member: Handling Comments of Concern – Practices, Policies, Competency. Bluenotes Global Conference, July 30 – August 3, 2022, Chicago, Qualitative comments in course evaluations give details to insights contextualizing quantitative data, and more and more institutions are utilizing text-analytics technologies to analyze qualitative comments. One of the capabilities that such text-analytics technology provides is detection of potentially concerning comments - overly negative, offensive, threatening, harassing, biased, and/or indicators of potential misconduct. The key question asked was “Are institutions ready to handle such comments of concern, as they are detected?” In this session, panelists will discuss challenges in handling such potentially concerning comments and how to go about addressing such challenges, such as expanding or clarifying policies and procedures, identifying needed competencies, and ensuring that relevant training and communications are available. Panelists: Brad Wuetherick, University of British Columbia; Elena Zaitseva, Liverpool John Moores University; Lisa Votodian, University of Pittsburgh; Meagan Morrissey, University of Newcastle, Australia. 2022
