    Could we share best practices for writing assessment (especially as they relate to offering high-quality feedback in an efficient way and on integrating equitable practices)?  
    Specifically, could we discuss best practices for evaluating and responding to student writing and speech assignments in a way that avoids linguistic prejudice (yet prepares students for differing professional positions/levels of understanding linguistics)?  
    Could we share best practices for increasing peer-to-peer engagement in our online (or computer conferencing) classes?  
    Could we discuss practices for highlighting diverse student voices and embracing an asset-based approach?
