This session of Waterloo Women's Wednesdays features talks by two faculty members whose research explores women's use of writing machines and bilingualism in narratives to navigate against invisibility and marginality.
Lai-Tze Fan will uncover how writing machines (typewriters, word processors, and computers) have been associated with women's invisible labour since the late 19th C and will briefly discuss how women have since used them as communication tools to empower themselves through creative output, community building, and critical intervention.
For faculty members feeling lost without Scantron, those who've never used a digital grading system, and anyone in between, FAUW has assembled a crack team of lecturers to review the four options in use at UW: Akindi, Markbox, Crowdmark, and Odyssey. In this session, you'll learn what each system is capable of doing, watch demos, and get recommendations based on your assessment needs.
