For this week's seminar, I invite you to join me for an informal chat about my experiences using "reflective responses" in my elementary number theory course. In these bi-weekly formal reflective assignments, my students were asked to set and monitor learning goals, identify gaps in understanding, and ponder the value and importance of their course material. Most importantly, I responded in detail to every student's reflection, creating a meaningful course-long conversation.

Video-mediated communication has long struggled with asymmetrical constraints on situational awareness, especially in hybrid work meetings between collocated and remote participants. Advances in computer vision offer exciting opportunities to augment mediated situational awareness, but we must first understand what is meaningful to capture and present.
