early findings with students
The first 250 students to use Sway for regular course assignments discussed and debated many topics including: investing public resources to address educational disadvantages faced by boys and men, the appropriate response to gender-related distress in children, and whether Kamala Harris’s defeat is best explained by misogyny. Nearly all students were paired with classmates who disagreed with them about the topic of the chat. At the end of their discussions, students provided feedback. The comments below have been de-identified and are shared with permission. They are followed by student data from post-chat surveys.
De-identified transcripts from student chats are also available here.
