Teaching in Higher Ed: Recent Episodes

Bonni Stachowiak

Thank you for checking out the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast. This is the space where we explore the art and science of being more effective at facilitating learning. We also share ways to increase our personal productivity, so we can have more peace in our lives and be even more present for our students.

Jane Hammons and Adrienne Warner examine outdated research notions, from Wikipedia to plagiarism, on episode 634 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episode

We can’t go through our lives or in the classroom thinking everything through with no heuristics, no shortcuts, no things that we can rely on credibly and reliably to take us to information that we do trust.
-Adrienne Warner

One of the outdated notions that we hear a lot and continue to hear at times is that Wikipedia is bad. And I think that it’s more nuanced than that, actually.
-Adrienne Warner

It’s less about saying any of these tools are better than the other, but that they have different uses, they have different values, they can all be a really valuable part of the research experience.
-Jane Hammons

If we’re expecting our students to engage with scholarly articles, they’re just not often going to have the background knowledge that is needed to be able to do that.
-Jane Hammons

Beth Cougler Blom on how teaching and facilitation skills are built in life’s ordinary moments — noticing, saying hello first, and staying curious.

Quotes from the episode

When you love what you do, you see it everywhere.
-Beth Cougler Blom

I’m here in Canada, and I’m on the West Coast, and there’s so many people learning here all the time about how to be living and working in a diverse community.
-Beth Cougler Blom

If we hone our noticing skills, then we can notice what’s going on with ourselves when we’re teaching.
-Beth Cougler Blom

When I make a mistake, often, I’ll tell the group, because that’s how we all learn too.

Bethany Morrison shares civic professionalism and how disciplinary identity shapes civic discourse on episode 632 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episode

Democracy needs to be born every generation. We can’t just assume it… Every generation, we have to kind of rebirth it, and it has to happen in our schools.
-Bethany Morrison

One of the principles that we often recommend is setting some community discussion guidelines, talking together as a classroom community about how we want things to go when those hot moments come up later.
-Bethany Morrison

Not saying anything has meaning too. So if you don’t say anything, you are making a decision, and students are going to read that to mean it was okay.

Jeff Kim shares how faculty can use video in our teaching and make it sustainable on episode 631 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episode

You raise what you praise. So through these vlogs, you’ll see me not complaining, but actually praising a lot.
-Jeff Kim

Sometimes people can feel a little bit wary about being on social media; they know that the way that I’m going to produce the video is going to be in such a way that’s uplifting.
-Jeff Kim

A vision that I have for my channel is helping students to find out what they’re good at so that they can do good with it.

Anna Mills shares Peer and AI Review and Reflection, plus a layered approach to writing feedback on episode 630 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episode

My sense of the value of feedback has not changed. It’s more important than ever, more meaningful than ever, when we do have that connection through words.
-Anna Mills

I think overall I’ve advocated for more sort of technical support for transparency about what is AI and what is not.
-Anna Mills

Students preferred both the peer and the AI feedback. They did not want one or the other.
-Anna Mills

AI companies should be designing so that their agents don’t go in and say, “I’m a student taking a quiz.”

Luke Green uses the Santa Claus story to rethink what grades measure and the case for ungrading on episode 629 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episode

Each student at some point throughout their academic career is going to receive a grade, receive some sort of an assessment that is going to fundamentally alter how they feel about the classroom.
-Luke Green

The narrative that we sell to our kids is that these gifts are earned. The metric is, those who are good children or better children, you receive more.
-Luke Green

What are grades, and what purpose do we want them to serve?
-Luke Green

Usually, it’s a proxy of understanding a student’s overall experience. And GPA is even worse, because you’re putting all of your course grades into a meat grinder and spitting out one number.

Remi Kalir shares the Fair Feedback Project for addressing bias in student evaluations on episode 628 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episode

If you actually have students write about affirming values as a kind of open free write before they complete an evaluation of teaching, it actually has been shown to mitigate bias.
-Remi Kalir

There are many people who are experiencing the effects of these structural patterns of bias who don’t look like me. So what can I do? How can I show up as an individual in this?
-Remi Kalir

I did not want people coming to the Fair Feedback project and then having long-winded, tangential, potentially problematic conversations with Claude as a chatbot.
-Remi Kalir

You can call it my complicity, you can call it my complexity, whatever you might call it, but I am very much entangled in this AI moment, trying to understand how I am navigating all of this.

Janice McCabe shares her research on campus loneliness and college friendship networks on episode 627 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episode

The previous surgeon general, among others, have declared a loneliness crisis facing the United States, and, in fact, the highest rates are among young adults.
-Janice McCabe

Many people that I interviewed told me how they felt like everyone else either had more friends than them, had better friends than them, was having more fun than them, along those lines.
-Janice McCabe

Something I hear from students a lot is just this appreciation for taking friendship seriously in students’ lives. And so that’s something that professors, teachers, college administrators can do.
-Janice McCabe

Students often say they don’t really like group projects, but then, that was a place that many of the friendships that formed in classes that I saw formed.

Jeanie Tietjen unpacks trauma-informed practices in higher ed and why naming itself is a form of teaching on episode 626 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episode

Naming goes so far back in, even just in literary terms, the importance of naming.
-Jeanie Tietjen

There is still a very nascent and as yet relatively unarticulated understanding of how profoundly trauma, adversity, and violence adversely affect teaching and learning.
-Jeanie Tietjen

Many students have experienced traumas that are situated in educational settings, bullying experiences that are identity-based, that profoundly shape how they feel about the educational setting as a place.
-Jeanie Tietjen

Learning is very vulnerable. It involves being wrong, failing, failing in front of other people.
-Jeanie Tietjen

Malini Johar Schueller unpacks critical race reading and the role of discomfort in the classroom on episode 625 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episode

Racism is a permanent structural feature of American society, and law alone, as now we have it, cannot deal with racism because racism is also part of law.
-Malini Johar Schueller

Critical race reading takes off from that, and it asks, is there a way of reading… that can awaken us to questions of racial privilege and hierarchy, but without us imagining that we have taken over somebody’s place?
-Malini Johar Schueller

Critical empathy, where you feel for others and you feel the injustice of others, but you also feel differently, you know, differently.
-Malini Johar Schueller

Some level of discomfort is fine for learning, because if learning doesn’t produce any kind of discomfort, you haven’t moved outside your zone of what you already know.

Denise Maduli-Williams shares how to engage learners in online courses on episode 624 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episode

The very first thing I saw was the online instructor posting this video where she was roller skating in this roller Derby rink and welcoming us online, and that just changed everything for me.
-Denise Maduli-Williams

When we design with accessibility in mind, we support everyone, all students.
-Denise Maduli-Williams

Students who are quieter, whether it’s synchronous on Zoom or synchronous in person, they have the opportunity to participate when they’re ready and to prepare.

Rebecca Fordon unpacks vibe coding and the eight AI teaching tools she built in a single semester on episode 623 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episode

Vibe coding, I think of being able to describe the kind of application or website that you want in just words, a narrative, rather than having to code it, knowing coding language.
-Rebecca Fordon

I think the easiest place to start is in ChatGPT, or Gemini, or Claude Code.
-Rebecca Fordon

Many of my students have not used it for anything related to law school. Until they get into my class, and then they see there actually are some good, legitimate uses.
-Rebecca Fordon

If you want to mess with things on your own, you can really just ask AI: How do I do that? Where should I look?

Jennifer Wallace shares about her book, Mattering: The Secret to a Life of Deep Connection and Purpose on episode 622 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episodeMattering says you belong at the table, but it goes even further, and it says you would be missed if you weren’t here. You are adding value, and we would notice if you weren’t here.
-Jennifer Wallace

We have so much input and so much output being demanded of us today that often we go through life on autopilot.
-Jennifer Wallace

Mattering is not another thing to add to your to-do list. Mattering is a way of looking at your to-do list.
-Jennifer Wallace

When you look at the data on what drives performance, it is engagement. And what drives engagement is mattering.

David Perry shares about his new book, The Public Scholar, on episode 621 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episode
Teaching is the most important form of public engagement that any of us do.
-David Perry

If we are really practiced at teaching, and as we develop our skills as teachers, those are the skills that can also take us into other spaces outside of the classroom.
-David Perry

Academia is structured around all kinds of failure. Once you recognize that, and then bring yourself into another context where you’re going to experience rejection, you already have the skills to cope with it.
-David Perry

I think all writers, and certainly in academia, worry a lot about our worst faith readers. How do we not get ripped apart? You have to write for your best faith reader. You have to really shift your focus.

Flower Darby shares about being a joyful online teacher on episode 620 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episodeHigher education doesn’t do a great job of preparing faculty to teach, generally speaking, that’s not new, but especially online teaching.
-Flower Darby

If you’re not a meme person, don’t do that. Something that isn’t authentic to your personality is not going to be effective.
-Flower Darby

Sometimes you don’t need all the latest bells and whistles; you don’t need the latest iPhone. We can be effective with simpler tools.

Lew Ludwig + Todd Zakrajsek uncover themes from The Science of Learning Meets AI on episode 619 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episodeWe could actually create an educational system. Not so that it deals with the problems we have with AI, but so that those problems are no longer relevant.
-Todd Zakrajsek

If you don’t have students attention, they can’t learn because if you don’t attend to something, you can’t learn it.
-Todd Zakrajsek

Keep in mind that you’re the expert. This is your assignment. You know what you’re doing, you know the content, so then you can judge what AI gives you, what works, and what still may need some work.
-Lew Ludwig

What this gets down to is backward design; we start with the learning goals. We should figure out how to assess them, and then decide if AI fits in that or not.

Norma Montague shares of her experiences going from awareness to action, interrupting bias in the classroom on episode 618 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episodeOne thing that my work on inclusive teaching focuses on, is really being able to understand your learner’s motivations.
-Norma Montague

One of the ideas that I learned from a colleague who had recommended a book was the idea of rebranding office hours as student hours.
-Norma Montague

I think it’s important to help students understand what those student hours are for and how they can get the most out of them.
-Norma Montague

When students feel safe in the classroom, then they’re going to contribute, invest. That’s when I find that I can really increase their rigor and challenge them more.

Teddy Svoronos describes how today’s agentic AI changes what and how we teach on episode 617 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episodeAn AI agent is an LLM that runs tools in a loop to achieve a goal.
-Teddy quoting Simon Willison’s definition

The process of having a task, write a report, use a tool, web search, and do it over and over again until you feel like you’ve gotten the full sort of spectrum of things—that I think is what an agent really is.
-Teddy Svoronos

These LLMs are now becoming like this intermediary between me and the actual content. And so I’m optimizing in a different way than I used to.
-Teddy Svoronos

I think there’s an analogy with these tools that I’ve been thinking of as cognitive debt, which is that as you offload to them, there are things that they’ll do that you won’t quite understand.

-Nancy Chick

What I usually say when I speak to colleagues and academics who are sort of starting a SOTL journey is to start small, small steps, and whatever is a low threshold.

Matthew Mahavongtrakul and Bonni Stachowiak have a conversation about being kind to our future selves on episode 615 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episodeNot everything that comes your way is an emergency. Not everything that comes your way has to demand your immediate attention.
-Matthew Mahavongtrakul

Once you are comfortable with your system and you’re iterating, it actually starts to become second nature, not only to professional life, but to personal life as well.

Bonni Stachowiak shares how to keep your Personal Knowledge Mastery (PKM) real simple with RSS on episode 614 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episodeRather than get that overwhelmed feeling of how hard it’s going to be to keep up, I don’t have to, and neither do you. Enter RSS, Real Simple Syndication.
-Bonni Stachowiak

It’s pretty spectacular how, if somebody knows about RSS, and they’ve subscribed to a blog or a website, how you can find people that you have a lot in common with, and get going with your curiosity.
-Bonni Stachowiak

It’s amazing what happens when, before we start trying to lecture or share information, we ask people to predict something. Even if they end up predicting incorrectly, there still is that connection where we’ve piqued their curiosity.

Marc Watkins shares about cultivating skepticism and curiosity in an age of AI on Episode 613 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episodeI do think online education is going to be the focal point for this next year, and how it can survive with an agentic AI. My feeling is, we need to be offering students more embodied experiences and disembodied spaces.
-Marc Watkins

Every technology has its affordances and the things that are negative about it too; your cell phone, the computer, the fact we’re talking about this right now on the systems that we are using, cloud computing, that all has a cost.
-Marc Watkins

For an incoming freshman student in college to take 4 or 5 classes and have 4 or 5 very different AI policies, 4 or 5 very different understandings of what AI is, it is incredibly confusing.

Lynn Meade uncovers how to make learning visible with portfolios on episode 612 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast

Quotes from the episodeAn ePortfolio is basically a curated collection of student work. It includes reflection, and it’s usually across the college experience.
-Lynn Meade

Anytime I teach portfolios, it’s really big that we talk about audience and purpose. Who is your audience and what is your purpose?
-Lynn Meade

There’s something particularly lovely about seeing student or faculty members’ written comments about my work. Both the critiques and those comments that build me up, and how very powerful they are, and how much they mean to me.
-Lynn Meade

It’s not about the tech. The most important thing is, am I writing? Am I able to think about myself? Am I able to reflect about myself?

Danny Mann shares about fostering peace, joy, and community in teaching and leading on episode 611 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episodeGreat teaching, and I think great life, is this adaptive, responsive thing, pulling out the bugs or getting things back in balance.
-Danny Mann

Peace and joy are really interrelated, and I gravitated a lot towards these, as I spent time studying and practicing mindfulness practices.

If you discover your why, you could basically feel much more energized and joyful about what you do, if you align your life with that.
-Danny Mann

Giving students space to speak and share ups and downs. So the ironic leading by listening.

Quotes from the episodeThe reason I did it is because I just wanted to better understand what my students were going through.

Sheila Tabanli shares ways to overcome the curse of expertise and other ways to be inclusive in our teaching on episode 608 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast

Quotes from the episode“I suggest, sign up to a course that you have no idea, and then we’ll talk later. In other words, feel what it means to be a novice.”
– Sheila Tabanli

“An expert in a field doesn’t necessarily mean they will be able to effectively teach that content.”
– Sheila Tabanli

“There are differences between how experts and novices look at this content.”
– Sheila Tabanli

“We can still slow down. We can still show how an expert solves a math problem without sacrificing from the rigor or the content.”

Josh Brake shares metaphors and other ethical considerations regarding AI on Episode 607 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episode“When you’re moving fast, it’s really easy to do things unreflectively and to make a poor decision without even realizing it.”
-Josh Brake

“The special thing about bicycles, at least in their non-electronic versions, is that they’re totally human-powered. So it’s all based on the energy that you put in, and it’s just transforming that energy, to make you more efficient and be able to move faster.”
-Josh Brake

“When you have something like an E bike, that augmentation can be used in a variety of different ways, so it can be used to actually extend your capacity.”
-Josh Brake

“It’s really this question about what’s the intention that you’re bringing to the technology when you come to the tool, what are the questions that you’re asking? And fundamentally, it’s a question of purpose and intention. Why are you using this?”

Karen Costa shares about An Educator’s Guide to ADHD on Episode 606 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episodeCuriosity is just this sort of force of nature. So tap in to your students creativity, your students passions and interests as a way to support them in reaching and achieving those challenges that you also hold for them.
-Karen Costa

That’s a heavy thing for folks with ADHD to carry, that we are a burden on the other students in the classroom, that we are a burden on our teachers. And that is simply not true.
-Karen Costa

What we know now is that many times those are what are called stims in neurodivergent and ADHD and autistic communities. And those are actually a way that a lot of folks help themselves to stay present and regulated in their bodies so that they can direct their attention to the teacher or to the task at hand.
-Karen Costa

The best thing we can do to make the course real is as an instructor to be present in that online course.

José Bowen shares about the second edition of Teaching with AI on episode 605 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episodeI do think that we are going to have to figure out how to focus on student learning in an era where students have this new technology that will short-circuit the learning we want.-José Bowen

My advice to people is that I know we’re overwhelmed, so don’t ask AI to do something you love. Ask AI to do something that you hate.-José Bowen

The real problem with AI privacy is that now we have a tool that can mine all that, right? I’m more worried about AI as a tool for analysis and observation, and how that’s going to change the world in which we live.-José Bowen

I think the potential is, you’re probably going to get more bias because people are going to use AI poorly. And so bias and privacy are two categories of ugly that are pretty big.-José Bowen

Bryan Alexander shares about Peak Higher Ed on episode 604 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast

Quotes from the episode“It’s another form of thinking, it’s another form of organizing information and that we have to treat it seriously as such. The computer scientist actually recommends that we think about generative AI as children. These are AIs that have some degree of autonomy and they’re also not very wise in the world yet, and we have to train and rear them up.”
– Bryan Alexander

“So if AI is bubble, if it turns out to be a bubble and it pops, this might be bad news for the entire economy.”
– Bryan Alexander

“The problem of how do we actually figure out what people are doing with AI within post secondary education? That’s a really great challenge because if you polled people, they have all kinds of great incentives to not respond accurately.”

“The number one kind of piece of pushback that I get from faculty is I just simply cannot cover everything.”

C. Edward Watson shares about navigating AI’s rapid transformation in higher ed on episode 602 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episodeI never include AI in the beginning of my processes.
-C. Edward Watson

There’s a lot of incremental shifts, but the increments are quite large.
-C. Edward Watson

I would argue that maybe this is the first time in the history of higher education that we have learning outcomes that are at war with one another.
-C. Edward Watson

We’ve never built a curriculum for something that’s changing so quickly. We’re being asked to keep up with this rate of change in a meaningful way that actually serves our students well.

David Gooblar shares how better teaching can make college more equitable on episode 599 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episodeMost of our scars are hidden. I think most of the time people don’t see the scars that we carry.
-David Gooblar

We get such a small window into our students lives.
-David Gooblar

The imaginary idea of the college student in America is of a privileged student. And that’s just not the case when we talk about American college students today.
-David Gooblar

We need to work to earn their trust, to convince our students that we’re working for them, that our job is to help them develop, learn, and grow.

Jeff Young shares clips from his Learning Curve Podcast regarding AI in higher education on episode 598 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episodeIt is crazy to think of how much we’ve all learned about generative AI just in the last couple years.
-Jeff Young

I’ve been really interested in how students are thinking through AI and where their perspectives are. There is not one student view. You can find students that think all kinds of things.
-Jeff Young

Students are very aware of AI and they’re also very aware of how it’s changing the job market that they might enter.
-Jeff Young

One danger of these tools is that they give you such instant gratification. There’s a hit of dopamine.
-Jeff Young

Students are using AI tools, not just for academics. They’re experimenting with AI.

Bonni Stachowiak shares about her card game, Go Somewhere: A game of metaphors, AI, and what comes next on episode 597 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episodeA lot of you have been asking me about this game that I’ve played now and facilitated at over 10 universities and conferences called Go Somewhere.
-Bonni Stachowiak

What the game allows people to do is to be a little bit playful, laugh, and smile as we explore very serious things.
-Bonni Stachowiak

It can be helpful to have a map when we think about all of the different ways that artificial intelligence might impact our teaching.
-Bonni Stachowiak

The other issue that comes up a lot as we start talking about artificial intelligence is how often it bumps up against our sense of identity.
-Bonni Stachowiak

Continue to learn, reflect, and keep moving. Go somewhere.

Christy Albright + Clarissa Sorensen Unruh share about teaching, learning, and the lessons of grief on episode 596 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episodeTake two deep breaths.
-Clarissa Sorensen Unruh

None of the books that I researched on grief actually defined grief. It’s like they just assumed you knew what it was because it’s such a universal experience, but it’s not universally experienced by everybody in the same way.
-Christy Albright

Anticipatory grief is when you know something is coming and you’re already grieving that situation.
-Christy Albright

People assume that grief gets smaller, and actually we grow around it.
-Clarissa Sorensen Unruh

The big griefs in my life stay forever.

Roberta Hawkins + Leslie Kern share about their book, Higher Expectations: How to Survive Academia, Make it Better for Others, and Transform the University on episode 595 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episodeWe advise lots of different ways of rethinking our relationship with work in the book.
-Roberta Hawkins

You can’t solve institutional problems with individual sacrifices.
-Leslie Kern

We are not cogs in an institutional machine.
-Roberta Hawkins

One of the challenges, is the idea that our work is kind of a calling. It’s a passion project. The institution knows that we love our work and that we are passionate about our students and that we care about bringing great ideas to fruition in the world, so it will extract every little drop of that from you in terms of your time and energy.

Carter Moulton shares about his Analog Inspiration (AI) card deck and human centered AI in the classroom on episode 593 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episodeI’m here to talk a little bit about the Analog Inspiration card deck, which really is a professional development resource under the guise of a game.
-Carter Moulton

I wanted to create something that would bring faculty together and talk with each other and wrestle with these moral and ethical questions.
-Carter Moulton

Those three questions underneath at the bottom of the card are really just trying to foster that critical thinking with students about what it is they’re making and what it is they’re doing and how they’re engaging with AI.
-Carter Moulton

I hope we don’t abandon the decades of research that has shown the benefits of peer learning, of caring, belonging, and relationships in the classroom.

Simon Cullen + Danny Oppenheimer help us rethink student attendance policies toward deeper engagement and learning on episode 591 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episodeThere’s a lot of evidence that coming to class is one of the best things a student can do to facilitate their learning and performance in class.
-Danny Oppenheimer

You can make students attend, and most faculty do. They set attendance as mandatory. And then students attend and they learn because they attend. But they also hate you, and they hate the subject and they hate everything to do with the class.
-Danny Oppenheimer

If you give people choices, sometimes they make bad choices. Scaffolding choices can help people make choices that actually align with their preferences more effectively.
-Danny Oppenheimer

Students love being treated like adults. They love having choice. Everybody loves having choice. People don’t like other people telling them what to do.
-Danny Oppenheimer

In some sense students have a preference to attend class. And in some sense they have a preference to not attend class. Those preferences can coexist in some way.

Mike Caulfield shares about using AI as a co-reasoning partner and his Deep Background tool on episode 590 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episodeCritical thinking problems with students turn out to be critical doing problems.
-Mike Caulfield

AI doesn’t naturally think in terms of provenance, in terms of how it got this piece of information. It’s a little bit of a bolt on afterthought.
-Mike Caulfield

Searching for information is a journey. How can we get the benefits of AI but still preserve that feeling of a journey?
-Mike Caulfield

I’m working on this issue of follow ups with AI. It is magic to get students to think of these responses as not a single transaction. They’re coaching the AI through a process, not to get a specific answer that they want, but to look at the sorts of sources that matter for the question.

Emily Pitts Donahoe shares what we can learn about grades from an “emerging failure” on episode 588 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episodeThey introduced a framework that attempts to identify the common features of alternative grading for growth systems that are meant to prioritize student growth and student learning over just grades and performance.
-Emily Donahoe

Those four pillars are marks that indicate progress, reattempts without penalty, clearly defined standards, and helpful feedback.
-Emily Donahoe

One of the most important functions of grades or marks given on individual assignments is to communicate to students about how they’re progressing in a certain subject. Traditional grades don’t serve this communicative function very well.

-M. C. Flux

Many students seem to enjoy this and actually learn well from it, so I keep doing it.
-M. C. Flux

I think these students struggle so much with attention that bringing them back with a really simple question just helps.
-M. C. Flux

The fact that students have shorter attention spans is still something we need to pay attention to. I don’t think it’s as bad as people say, but it is actually still a big piece of how I design instruction.

My goal is to challenge my students intellectually. My goal is not to stress them out.
-Seth Offenbach

We all miss deadlines.
-Seth Offenbach

In order to truly be kind, you have to create a safe space for the students where they feel that they can come to you, talk to you and learn with you.
-Seth Offenbach

Bryan Dewsbury helps us explore what socially just teaching might look like across disciplines on episode 585 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episodeI am not interested in being in a war with AI. I’m not trying to be a faculty detective to see who’s using ChatGPT or not, I didn’t sign up for that work.
-Bryan Dewsbury

I’m not your enemy. I’m not against you. I’m rooting for you every single day. I really mean that.
-Bryan Dewsbury

The things I say on day one are not going to mean anything over the course of the semester if I don’t give them feedback in a reasonable time or if I’m rude when they answer a question wrong in class.
-Bryan Dewsbury

The way in which we can interact around this material doesn’t have to be one that’s dictatorial.
-Bryan Dewsbury

You don’t have to be able to save the world, but you’re obligated to try, right? And so the whole key behind that is in trying, you almost by definition achieve more.

Danny Liu shares a different way to think about AI and assessment on episode 584 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episodeOur students are presented with this massive array of things they could choose from. They may not know the right things to choose or the best things to choose. And our role as educators is to kind of guide them in trying to find the most healthy options from the menu to choose from.
-Danny Liu

People want to give their students clarity. They want to give their students a bit of guidance on how to approach AI, what is going to be helpful for them for learning and not helpful for learning.
-Danny Liu

There is no way to really know if the rules that you’re putting in place are going to be followed by students, and it doesn’t mean that we need to detect them or surveil them more when they’re doing their assignments.
-Danny Liu

We need to accept the reality that students could be using AI in ways that we don’t want them to be using AI if they’re not in front of us.
-Danny Liu

Not everyone lies. Most of our students want to do the right thing. They want to learn, but they have the temptation of AI there that is saying, I can do this work for you. Just click, just chat with me.
-Danny Liu

Our role as teachers is not to be cops, it’s to teach and therefore to be in a position where we can trust you and help you make the right choice.
-Danny Liu

-Leslie Bayers

We feel and think better when we move.
-Leslie Bayers

I try to get students moving or engaged with sensory textures as much as possible to spark learning.
-Leslie Bayers

The mindset is learning from nature rather than learning about nature.
-Karen Costa

Nature is really, really good at resting.

-Jessamyn Neuhaus

Academia generally attracts people with perfectionist tendencies.
-Jessamyn Neuhaus

Sometimes there is no positive outcome when something goes wrong. Sometimes things just get messed up because people are human.

Emily M. Bender & Alex Hanna share about their book, The AI Con: How to Fight Big Tech’s Hype and Create the Future We Want on episode 576 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episodeWhat’s going on with the phrase artificial intelligence is not that it means something else than what we’re using it to mean, it’s that it doesn’t have a proper referent in the world.
-Emily M. Bender

There’s a much broader range of people who can have opinions on AI.
-Alex Hanna

The boosters say AI is a thing. It’s inevitable, it’s imminent, it’s going to be super powerful, and it’s going to solve all of our problems. And the doomers say AI is a thing, it’s inevitable, it’s imminent, it’s going to be super powerful, and it’s going to kill us all. And you can see that there’s actually not a lot of daylight between those two positions, despite the discourse of saying these are two opposite ends of a spectrum.
-Emily M. Bender

Teachers’ working conditions are students’ learning conditions.

Alex Edmans shares about his book, May Contain Lies: How Stories, Statistics, and Studies Exploit Our Biases and What We Can Do About It on episode 574 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episodeWe think a lie is basically the opposite of truth. So something is a lie if you can disprove it factually.
-Alex Edmans

What I focus on in my book is a more subtle form of a lie where something could be 100% accurate, but the inferences that we draw from them might be misleading.
-Alex Edmans

It’s not that they’re bad people, it’s that they’re people, they’re humans. And if we’re a person, we have biases.

What I’m trying to highlight is the importance of being discerning. We want to have healthy skepticism, but we want to have the same healthy skepticism to something that we do like as something that we don’t.

-Tolu Noah

I don’t think there’s necessarily one right way to approach planning.
-Tolu Noah

A really important aspect of facilitation is that yes, you have a plan, but you also need to be flexible with that plan and be willing to take a rest stop or a detour if needed.

Timing is probably one of the most important aspects of facilitation.

Leon Furze shares about myths and metaphors in the age of generative AI on episode 572 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episodeIn higher education there is a need to temper the resistance and refusal of the technology with the understanding that students are using it anyway.
-Leon Furze

We can take a a personal moral stance, but if we have a responsibility to teach students, then we have a responsibility to engage with the technology on some level. In order to do that, we need to be using it and and experimenting with it because otherwise, we’re relying on third party information, conjecture, and opinions rather than direct experience.
-Leon Furze

My use of the technology has really shifted over the last few years the more I think about it as a technology and not as a vehicle for language.
-Leon Furze

Let the English teachers who love English, teach English. Let the mathematics teachers who love math, teach math. Let the science teachers teach science. And where appropriate, bring these technologies in.

Quotes from the episodeSometimes I get in my head about imposter syndrome about being joyful.
-Jackie Shay

Why can’t we recognize that these different types of intelligences have just as much value as intellectual intelligence?

Quotes from the episodeIt is true that people cheat, and that’s the reason we have rules in the first place in our lives.
-David Rettinger

There are always going to be social, personal, and individual pressures on us that cause us to do things that either we didn’t realize were wrong, or that we perfectly well know that are wrong, but that in that moment seem like a reasonable trade off to our behavior.
-David Rettinger

Take care of yourself first, whatever that looks like. You’re never going to help somebody else if you’re not on firm ground yourself.
-David Rettinger

John Warner shares about his latest book, More Than Words: How to Think About Writing in the Age of AI on episode 564 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episodeIf we treat the output of large language models as writing, as opposed to syntax generation, which is how I characterize it, then we’re allowing the meaning of writing and the experience of writing to be degraded for humans.
-John Warner

Clearly, this is not feedback that is unique to human beings and unique to how we read.
-John Warner

There is no pivot for humanity. We’re going to be humans whether we like it or not, and we are going to live our life through a series of experiences which convey some manner of meaning to ourselves. We still have to live. We still have to have a day to day experience of the world. We still have to have access to our own minds. We still have to relate to other people. This is the stuff of being human.
-John Warner

Every human is a unique intelligence. Developing a unique intelligence is a work of teaching and learning. And honoring that is the highest calling of a teacher.

This idea that accommodations and accessibility is coming at some cost to the abled is a false pretense.
-Stephanie Cawthon

If you receive a whole bunch of feedback and you can’t do anything about it, that just makes you feel bad.

Simon Cullen and Nicholas DiBella discuss how to equip students to dialog across differences using an AI Guide they’ve created on episode 560 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episodeMost of my students have not heard cogent arguments on the other side of whatever their own position is because they’ve been so siloed.
-Simon Cullen

In every one of these classes the point is to try and confront students with the strongest arguments I can find, ideally for the thing they don’t believe.

The first thing they hear from me is if you wish to avoid the risk of being offended, then you should probably not be taking this class.
-Simon Cullen

We have designed the guide to be as neutral as possible.

Lauren Barbeau + Claudia Cornejo Happel discuss how to cultivate critical teaching behaviors on episode 559 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episodeBeing a good teacher or a good researcher is not something you’re born with. It’s something you learn. It’s something you can get better at.
-Lauren Barbeau

Teaching doesn’t fall into nice, neat color coded boxes. We need something that represents the complexity and the messiness and the way that behaviors overlap and might fall into more than one category.
-Lauren Barbeau

If we can’t reflect on our teaching, we can’t identify our strengths to start leveraging them, to start working on them.
-Lauren Barbeau

If you’re looking for an entry point into critical teaching behaviors, start by reflecting on your teaching and take a look at the materials we’ve provided to help you do that.
-Lauren Barbeau

Be kind to yourself because some semesters are harder than others.
-Lauren Barbeau

It all comes back to caring about students, being transparent about what we’re doing in the classroom, explaining our purpose, and involving them in the conversation that is the learning together in the classroom.
-Claudia Cornejo Happel

While there’s no one thing that is more difficult than another, it really helps us to find a behavior that resonates with us and that we can use as a lens to think about our teaching more holistically.

Quotes from the episodeTeachers, instructors, educators at all levels can really work with students to find elements of what we are teaching that those students find individually interesting.

Quotes from the episodeBeing a dad who is an educator takes things from the academic and intellectual and brings them immediately to the surface, to the real world and to the real consequences for students and families.
-Josh Eyler

The conflict between what we think and what we value and what we want for our kids and what the world and our school systems say are important can sometimes be almost irreconcilable.
-Josh Eyler

We need to create environments that will cultivate intrinsic motivation.

-Josh Eyler

Grades are not objective accurate measurements of learning according to this research.
-Josh Eyler

If grades don’t measure what they’re supposed to measure, why are we using them, and why are we putting so much pressure on them?

Quotes from the episodeWhere does the capability of AI end and where does the impact of the teacher start?
-Jason Lodge

Our tendencies as teachers and the way that we wanted to teach was clashing with the way that the lesson plan had been structured by Chat GPT.
-Jason Lodge

We don’t know where we’re headed, but at least we can have a sense of what the direction might be.
-Jason Lodge

We have to get to the point where we stop looking for evidence that students are using these tools to cheat and shift our emphasis to looking for evidence that learning has occurred.

It’s less about the technology and more about the human, how we learn and how we understand ourselves.

Amira Barger shares four common arguments against DEI and how to dismantle them on episode 525 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episodeMany people who are at the margins often know from lived experience that the playing field is not level, and that there are biases that leaders and individuals across any and every institution have to mitigate.
-Amira Barger

Many people tend to view the work of diversity, equity, and inclusion as this sort of a 0 sum game. That idea of we’re lifting someone else up means you have to push or bring someone else down. And that’s not at all what we’re trying to do this work.
-Amira Barger

It really is about leveling the playing field. It’s not about taking things away, but it’s about understanding.
-Amira Barger

What are you creating so that others can see themselves represented in the spaces they’re in with you?
-Amira Barger

I try to very intentionally surround myself with people who believe and think differently than I do so that I can understand where they are coming from.

Judith Dutill talks about communication literacy in the age of AI on episode 523 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episodeIn the college classroom, we don’t often emphasize that type of communication as a skill that’s worth teaching, talking about, assessing, and we focus instead on more formal types of communication.
-Judith Dutill

Communication is a very subjective thing, but I think there is a common definition that we could all agree on that effective communication is creating meaning and being understood.

When you look at grades as we often use them in a traditional setting, they are much of what we do is under the guise of object what we think is objectivity.
-Robert Talbert

The biggest thing that’s broken about grades is that traditional grading is completely disconnected from the notion of a feedback loop.
-Robert Talbert

Give helpful feedback that doesn’t humiliate the student, affirms their basic dignity as a human being, and highlights what went well. Helpful feedback also highlights what could use some work and invites students to collaborate with you to make it better.
-Robert Talbert

Reattempts without penalty, that’s the closing of the feedback loop.

Quotes from the episodeMy background is in a field called developmental education, which is some people used to call it remedial education, but the term evolved into developmental because remedial is the idea of fixing things, whereas developmental follows more the natural human cycle of growing and developing across the lifespan.
-Tamara (Tami) Shetron

Everyone can learn.
-Tamara (Tami) Shetron

What makes these programs different from a normal, typical college experience is they are designed to help students get employment.

Will Hennessy shares about fostering neurodivergent learners’ growth on episode 499 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episodeTourette syndrome is a neurological disorder characterized by involuntary, internal and external tics that occur repeatedly in the same way. OCD is a neurological disorder that causes problems with information processing.
-Will Hennessy

I honestly thought that I just wasn’t as smart as my peers, that I just needed to try harder, or that one day, I guess, it would just kinda all click in my brain. Now, obviously, I know that’s not the case now, but that’s kind of where I was at.
-Will Hennessy

I want to create inclusive learning environments for neurodivergent learners and introverts, students like me.
-Will Hennessy

Structure is incredibly important for neurodivergent learners. Even though we’re implementing flexibility and choice, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it has to be a free for all where students can just do whatever they want, that could actually hinder learning.

Catherine Cronin discusses open education on episode 152 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast. Quotes from the episode Twitter has been a big part of my learning and my teaching. –Catherine Cronin

One of my key roles is helping learners develop their voice and their agency. –Catherine Cronin

Openness is always continuously negotiated. –Catherine Cronin

We need to be willing to be criticized ourselves. –Catherine Cronin

Having a personal learning network and being able to learn from each other is essential. –Catherine Cronin Resources Mentioned Catherine’s Philosophy: I practice openness by intentionally using and reusing OER, creating and sharing my work openly (learning, teaching and research), and teaching and modeling these open educational practices (OEP). But that’s just the what. The how requires much thought and care.

I believe open educational practices can help to increase access to education, contribute towards democratising education, and help to prepare learners —in all contexts— for engaged citizenship in increasingly open, networked, and participatory culture.

Katie Linder shares about blended course design on Teaching in Higher Ed episode 113. Quotes from the episode Blended learning is not just a trend, and we’re starting to see technology integrated in really intentional ways. —Katie Linder

One of the key things is alignment … between what you’re doing outside of the classroom and inside of the classroom. —Katie Linder

Say to your students, “I’m going to give you an activity to do, and I’m going to lay out some guidelines for it, but I’m also going to give you quite a lot of freedom. —Katie Linder

In the online environment, [social interactions] can still happen, but they just need to happen more intentionally. —Katie Linder

There are ways that you can build in social presence activities into a blended classroom, both face-to-face and online, that are really encouraging interactions between you and your students and between your students and each other. —Katie Linder

Because we don’t naturally reflect, it means that we have to intentionally build in reflection for our students. —Katie Linder Resources Mentioned Blended Course Design Resources:

On this week's episode, Sean Michael Morris and I discuss Critical Instructional Design.

Guest: Sean Michael Morris Sean is a digital teacher and pedagogue, with experience especially in networked learning, MOOCs, digital composition and publishing, collaboration, and editing. He’s been working in digital teaching and learning for 15 years. His work as a pioneer in the field of Critical Digital Pedagogy is founded in the philosophy of Paulo Freire, and finds contemporary analogues in the work of Howard Rheingold, Cathy N. Davidson, Dave Cormier, and Jesse Stommel. He is committed to engaging audiences in critical inspection of digital technologies, and to turning a social justice lens upon education. More Course: Critical Instructional Design

Critical Instructional Design course from Digital Pedagogy Lab

Quotes [Instructional Design] makes very mechanical the non-mechanical nature of teaching. Certain processes are put into place where the spontaneity is taken out of teaching. The relationship is taken out of teaching. The care and nurture of the student is taken out of teaching. —Sean Michael Morris

A lot of critical instructional design is questioning. It’s a matter of stepping back and observing and saying, “What are the assumptions of the LMS? What are the assumptions that I make and have been given to make about online learning? And how can I switch that up?” —Sean Michael Morris

I think there is a direct correlation between the amount of restrictions we place on students and their lack of interest in what we’re doing. —Sean Michael Morris

The more restrictions we place on learning, the less students have the ability to to explore it themselves. —Sean Michael Morris Resources

On this week's episode, Dr. Thia Wolf shares about public sphere pedagogy.

Guest: Thia Wolf Thia is a Professor of English and Director of the First-Year Experience Program at California State University, Chico, where she has worked since 1989. Prior to her appointment in the FYE program, she coordinated a variety of writing programs, including the first-year composition program and the writing across the disciplines program. Since 2006, she has been collaborating with faculty in several disciplines to embed public dimensions in first-year classes. Her publications have focused on collaborative learning and on public sphere pedagogy. More Quotes Students need to have an experience when they come to college that … gives them a sense that education is for the rest of their lives, it’s to help them do things in the world. —Thia Wolf

I noticed that the curriculum of first year students looks a lot like the curriculum in high school … I would say that it sends the “Not ready for prime time” message. —Thia Wolf

When [students] go public with their work, they have to stand by it, and really remarkable things happen. —Thia Wolf

We don’t give students opportunities to experience and reflect on how the curriculum is part of them and how they are affecting it. —Thia Wolf Resources

Recommendations Bonni recommends: Allowing students to "show up.” Consider this quote from Anne Lamott (who was mentioned on Episode 070 with Amy Collier): I had a session over the phone with my therapist today. I have these secret pangs of shame about being single, like I wasn't good enough to get a husband. Rita reminded me of something I'd told her once, about the five rules of the world as arrived at by this Catholic priest named Tom Weston.

The first rule, he says, is that you must not have anything wrong with you or anything different.

The second one is that if you do have something wrong with you, you must get over it as soon as possible.

The third rule is that if you can't get over it, you must pretend that you have.

The fourth rule is that if you can't even pretend that you have, you shouldn't show up. You should stay home, because it’s hard for everyone else to have you around.

And the fifth rule is that if you are going to insist on showing up, you should at least have the decency to feel ashamed.

So Rita and I decided that the most subversive, revolutionary thing I could do was to show up for my life and not be ashamed.

—Anne Lamott

Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World

On today’s episode, I have the honor of talking with Dr. Jeff Wiese about how he uses coaching skills in his teaching of residents.

Guest: Dr. Jeff Wiese Jeffrey G. Wiese, MD, is a Professor of Medicine with Tenure, and the Senior Associate Dean for Graduate Medical Education at the Tulane University Health Sciences Center. He is also Associate-Chairman of Medicine, the Chief of the Charity Medical Service and the Director of the Tulane Internal Medicine Residency Program.

On today’s show, Betsy Barre joins me to share about the research on course evaluations.

Guest: Betsy Barre Assistant Director of the Center for Teaching Excellence at Rice University After making the move to Rice in 2012, she was able to pursue her interest in undergraduate pedagogy by working with students and faculty in Rice's newly developed Program in Writing and Communication. In this role, she taught a series of disciplinary-based first-year seminars and contributed to the PWC's faculty development programming for those teaching first-year writing courses. And in July of 2014, she began her current position as Assistant Director of Rice's newly established Center for Teaching Excellence. More Quotes One of the biggest complaints faculty have about student evaluations is that it’s not a reflection of teaching effectiveness. –Betsy Barre

Just because a student likes a class doesn’t necessarily mean they’re learning. –Betsy Barre

It turns out that the harder your course is, the higher evaluations you get. –Betsy Barre

If students think the work is valuable and something that’s helping them learn, you can give up to twenty extra hours a week of work outside of class and students will still give you higher evaluations. –Betsy Barre

When we want to know if students have learned, one of the best things to do is just ask them if they’ve learned. –Betsy Barre

Part of the movement in student evaluations now is to ask questions about learning, rather than questions about what the faculty members are doing. –Betsy Barre Notes

Article: Do Student Evaluations of Teaching Really Get an "F"? Screencast: Student Ratings of Instruction: A Literature Review RateMyProfessor Analysis: Gendered Language in Teaching Evaluations

Betsy’s Six Most Surprising Insights about Course Evaluations Taken from her article “Do Student Evaluations of Teaching Really Get an “F”?”

Yes, there are studies that have shown no correlation (or even inverse correlations) between the results of student evaluations and student learning. Yet, there are just as many, and in fact many more, that show just the opposite. As with all social science, this research question is incredibly complex. And insofar as the research literature reflects this complexity, there are few straightforward answers to any questions. If you read anything that suggests otherwise (in either direction), be suspicious. Despite this complexity, there is wide agreement that a number of independent factors, easily but rarely controlled for, will bias the numerical results of an evaluation. These include, but are not limited to, student motivation, student effort, class size, and discipline (note that gender, grades, and workload are NOT included in this list). Even when we control for these known biases, the relationship between scores and student learning is not 1 to 1. Most studies have found correlations of around .5. This is a relatively strong positive correlation in the social sciences, but it is important to understand that it means there are still many factors influencing the outcome that we don't yet understand. Put differently, student evaluations of teaching effectiveness are a useful, but ultimately imperfect, measure of teaching effectiveness. Despite this recognition, we have not yet been able to find an alternative measure of teaching effectiveness that correlates as strongly with student learning. In other words, they may be imperfect measures, but they are also our best measures. Finally, if scholars of evaluations agree on anything, they agree that however useful student evaluations might be, they will be made more useful when used in conjunction with other measures of teaching effectiveness.

Doug Leigh on helping graduate students come up with interesting research topics.

Dr. Doug Leigh earned his PhD in instructional systems from Florida State University, where he served as a technical director of projects with various local, state, and federal agencies. His current research, publication, and lecture interests concern cause analysis, organizational trust, leadership visions, and dispute resolution. He is coeditor of The Handbook of Selecting and Implementing Performance Interventions (Wiley, 2010) and coauthor of The Assessment Book (HRD Press, 2008), Strategic Planning for Success (Jossey-Bass, 2003) and Useful Educational Results (Proactive Publishing, 2001).

Leigh served on a two-year special assignment to the National Science Foundation, is two-time chair of the American Evaluation Association's Needs Assessment Topic Interest Group, and past editor-in-chief of the International Society for Performance Improvement's (ISPI) monthly professional journal, Performance Improvement. A lifetime member of ISPI, he is also a member of the editorial board for its peer-reviewed journal, Performance Improvement Quarterly. More QUOTES Some of the differences between doctoral work and master’s work have to do with the amount of original data collection. —Doug Leigh

I try to set up the expectation that when a dissertation chair is doing a good job, they’re giving a lot of feedback, and that may involve several iterations of drafting. —Doug Leigh

Though we call them defenses, they’re not interrogations. They’re not about getting lined up to be battered with questions to prove your worth before a student is allowed into the club. —Doug Leigh

Students who can avoid just reaffirming what’s already known are able to position themselves to do research that sticks with them as a passion. —Doug Leigh Resources

Doug also shares his reworking of Davis’s index that he developed for his students, along with representative examples ...

Interestingness via Organizing or Disorganizing: things which have been thought to be similar are truly dissimilar, or that things believe to be dissimilar are actually similar. Example: John A Bargh's "The Four Horsemen of Automaticity: Awareness, Intention, Efficiency, and Control in Social Cognition" Interestingness by Composing or Decomposing: what seems to be varied and complex is really better understood simply, or something that is currently understood to be simple is actually elaborate, distinct, independent, heterogeneous, and diverse. Example: Quanta's "The New Laws of Explosive Networks" Interestingness by Abstraction or Particularization: that which people assume are experienced by just a certain few are actually shared by all, or vice versa. Example: NYT's "Mass Murderers Fit Profile, as Do Many Others Who Don’t Kill" Interestingness by Globalizing or Localizing: what seems to be a global truth is really just a more local one, or that something thought to be experienced just locally is actual more global. Example: Pew Research Center's Views on Science poll Interestingness by Stabilizating or Destabilizating: what seems to be stable and unchanging is actually unstable and changing, or things thought to be unstable are surprisingly stabilit and even permanent. Example: BBC's "The Libet Experiment: Is Free Will Just an Illusion?" (video) Interestingness by Effective or Ineffective Functioning: some aspect of the world that was believed to function effectively is actually ineffective, or vice versa. Example: Derek Muller's "Khan Academy and the Effectiveness of Science Videos" (video) Interestingness by Re-assessment of Costs or Benefits: what seems to be bad is in reality good, or what was believed to be good is actually bad.

It may be that the broader sense of who you are isn’t being fully expressed in your work but it’s being expressed in many other places: in your volunteer work, or your care for a family member. —Tim Clydesdale

Vocation is a much better way to talk to students [than career] because it captures much more of the breadth of life as it’s really lived. —Tim Clydesdale Resources

Today on episode #078 of Teaching in Higher Ed: The power of checklists Book: The Checklist Manifesto by Atul Gawande Good checklists, on the other hand are precise. They are efficient, to the point, and easy to use even in the most difficult situations. They do not try to spell out everything--a checklist cannot fly a plane. Instead, they provide reminders of only the most critical and important steps--the ones that even the highly skilled professional using them could miss. Good checklists are, above all, practical. ―Atul Gawande

We don’t like checklists. They can be painstaking. They’re not much fun. But I don’t think the issue here is mere laziness. There’s something deeper, more visceral going on when people walk away not only from saving lives but from making money. It somehow feels beneath us to use a checklist, an embarrassment. It runs counter to deeply held beliefs about how the truly great among us—those we aspire to be—handle situations of high stakes and complexity. The truly great are daring. They improvise. They do not have protocols and checklists. Maybe our idea of heroism needs updating. ―Atul Gawande Definitions A to-do list is what to do, a checklist is how to do it: Article on lessdoing.com

A checklist is a documented process for something you’ll do daily; a to-do list is something you assembled yourself that you need to do at a certain point of your day: Article on alphaefficiency.com

Philip Crawford, software entrepreneur on Quora, gives his definition: Question on Quora Natalie Houston on checklists A checklist ensures communication and confirmation among members of a team and catches errors. —Natalie Houston There are Two kinds of checklists:

Read-do: read each step and perform the step, checking off as you go (like following a recipe) Do-confirm: perform steps of the task from memory until you reach a defined pause point when you confirm that things have happened.

Advice for making checklists:

Keep it simple Make it usable - need to be able to check things off Try it out and edit as necessary

Read her article about checklists HERE Checklist on Checklists Atul Gawande lists things to consider when making a checklist:

You you have clear, concise objectives Have you considered adding items that will improve communication among team members When crafting the list, is the font sans serif? Have you trialled the list with frontline users? And have you modified the checklist in response to repeated trials?

The Checklist Manifesto

Today I welcome to the show Dr. Terese Huston to talk about teaching what you don’t know. Guest: Therese Huston Faculty Development Consultant, Seattle University Author: Teaching What You Don’t Know

Seattle University faculty page: here Personal page: www.theresehustonauthor.com Twitter: @ThereseHuston

Therese Huston received her B.A. from Carleton College and her M.S. and Ph.D. in Cognitive Psychology from Carnegie Mellon University. She was also awarded a prestigious post-doctoral fellowship with the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition. Therese was the Founding Director of CETL (now the Center for Faculty Development) and served as Director from 2004 to 2010. Drawing upon her background in cognitive science, she has spent the past decade helping smart faculty make better decisions about their teaching. Her first book, Teaching What You Don't Know, was published by Harvard University Press (2009). Quotes If I could go back to my 28-year-old self and give her one piece of advice, it would be to talk to a content expert. -Therese Huston

I wish I had offered to take an expert to coffee once a week to brainstorm what I should be teaching. -Therese Huston

Teaching is more than just knowing every single detail there is to know; teaching is much more about stimulating learning. -Therese Huston

You have to be thinking, “I’ve got to do something that I know well, but if I’m going to be the best teacher I can be to my students I’ve also got to teach them some things that are perhaps outside of my comfort zone.” -Therese Huston

No one can be an expert on this material, and what I’m going to be doing is to always look for the most recent, most important topic that I can be teaching you. -Therese Huston

If I’m doing a good job up here, I’m going to be pushing the boundaries of what I know. -Therese Huston Notes Teaching what you don’t know looks at it from two perspectives:

A subject you don’t know A group of students you don’t understand

Things unique to people who experience minimal anxiety when teaching outside of their expertise:

They had a choice about whether or not to teach the subject They addressed the "imposter issue" with their students They embraced a teaching philosophy that emphasizes the idea: "I don’t need to master the material”

You have just been assigned to teach a course outside of our expertise. What are the most important steps to take in preparing to teach it?

Tell someone (deal with the imposter issue) Find five syllabi for similar courses online Get a timer and start practicing preparing for your class in set chunks of time.

Jim Sibley shares about Team-based Learning.

Podcast Notes Team-based learning has come up a few times on the show previously (Dr. Chrissy Spencer in Episode 25). Today, however, we dive deep into this teaching approach and discover powerful ways to engage students with Dr. Jim Sibley. Guest: Jim Sibley Jim Sibley is Director of the Centre for Instructional Support at the Faculty of Applied Science at University of British Columbia (UBC) in Vancouver, Canada. As a faculty developer, he has led a 12-year implementation of Team-Based Learning in Engineering and Nursing at UBC with a focus on large classroom facilitation. Jim has over 33 years of experience in faculty support, training, and facilitation, as well as managing software development at UBC. Jim serves on the editorial board of the Journal on Excellence in College Teaching.

Jim is an active member of the Team-Based Learning Collaborative and has served on its board and many of its sub-committees. He has mentored colleagues in the Team-Based Learning Collaborative’s Train the Trainer mentorship program. He is a co-author of the new book Getting Started with Team-Based Learning that was published by Stylus in July 2014. He is an international team-based learning consultant, having worked at schools in Australia, Korea, Pakistan, Lebanon, United States, and Canada to develop team-based learning programs.

More About Jim’s Personal Story:

The Stroke Interview with Brainstream Hiccups

Team-Based Learning Defined

A form of small-group learning that gets better with the bigger size of class you have. The idea is to discuss the question until you get to some sort of consensus. Team-based learning could easily be called decision-based learning, because as soon as you make a decision, you can get clear and focused feedback. That’s what team-based learning is all about. Think about a jury, where you need brainpower. Then imagine you’re presenting the verdict, and you look around and see five other juries, on the same case as you. You can bet they’ve put a lot of thought into the verdict, and if they all have a different verdict than you, you can bet they’re going to give feedback. Team-based learning is not a prohibition on lecturing…but it’s in smaller amounts, and it’s for a reason like answering a student need or question. An activity will often make students wish they knew about something, then you teach it.

About Teams

The Achilles heel of group work are students at different levels of preparedness. Team discussion has a nice leveling effect. Experience shows that smaller teams are the ones that have the most trouble 5-7 students is the ideal size for a group. Big teams work because you’re asking them to make a decision, and that’s something teams are naturally good at. Because team-based learning is focused on teaching with decisions, there is less opportunity for people to ride on the coattails of others. Instructors don’t have to teach about team dynamics or decision-making processes because teams are naturally motivated to engage in good discussion (if their conclusion is different than every other group, there will naturally be a lot of feedback).

The Team-Building Process:

The instructor builds teams, trying to add diversity to each team. The instructor of a large class can do an online survey for diversity of assets. Even freshman classes can have diversity (different people are better at different subjects). CATME has an online team maker function, as does GRumbler.

Should students ever elect their own teams?

Student-selected teams are typically a disaster, mostly because they’re a social entity, and you tend to pick people that are the same as you. It does work when students are passionate about the project.

Team-based learning requires commitment:

Getting Started With Team-Based Learning

Robert Bjork on using cognitive psychology to enhance learning.

PODCAST NOTES Guest: Dr. Robert Bjork

Distinguished Professor of Psychology at UCLA Learning and memory; the science of learning in the practice of teaching. The Bjork Learning and Forgetting Lab

Common misperceptions Belief that we work something like a man made recording device. In almost every critical way, we differ from any such device." - Robert Bjork

How can it be that we have all these years of learning things and formal education and then end up really not understanding the process? You might just think by sheer trial and error during all of our educational experiences we would come to understand ourselves better than we apparently do." - Robert Bjork

We found all these different situations where the very same thing that produces forgetting then enhances learning if the material is re-studied again. Forgetting is a friend of learning." - Robert Bjork

The spacing effect

Delay in re-studying information

The environmental context

If you study it again, then you're better off to study it in a different place. This is counter to the advice to study in a single place.

Retrieval practice When you recall something, it does far more to reveal that you did indeed have it in your memory.

"Using our memories shapes our memory."- Robert Bjork As we use our memories, the things we recall become more recallable. Things in competition with the memories become less recallable."- Robert Bjork

We should input less and output more."- Robert Bjork

Test yourself; retrieval practice Low-stakes or no-stakes testing is key to optimizing learning."- Robert Bjork

"When I say they become inaccessible, they are absolutely not gone."- Robert Bjork Interleaving "In all those real-world situation where there's several related tasks or components to be learned, the tendency is to provide instruction in a block test. It seems to make sense to work on one thing at a time."- Robert Bjork

"We are finding that interleaving leads to much better long-term retention. It slows the gain in performance during the training process but, then leads to much better long-term performance."- Robert Bjork

"Forgetting is not entirely a negative process. There are a number of senses in which forgetting can be a good thing."- Robert Bjork

"The very same people who just performed better, substantially, with interleaving, almost uniformly said that blocking helped them learn better."- Robert Bjork Desirable difficulties They're difficulties in the sense that they pose challenges (increased frequency of errors) but they're desirable in that they foster the very goals of instruction (long-term retention and transfer of knowledge into new situations).

Interleaving vs blocking Varying the conditions of learning and the examples you provide rather than keeping them constant Spacing vs massing (cramming)

"The word desirable is key. There's a lot of ways to make things difficult that are bad."- Robert Bjork The generation effect Any time you can take advantage of what your students already know and give them certain cues so that they produce an answer, rather than you giving them an answer, you greatly enhance their long-term retention."- Robert Bjork

Incorporating generation is a desirable difficulty but people have to succeed at the generation. If they fail, it is no longer a desirable difficulty."- Robert Bjork

Errors are a key component of effective learning."- Robert Bjork

Successful forgetting

Memory relies on being in the same situation Present it in a different context, produces longer-term learning Encode the information differently; encoding variability Retrieval is powerful, but depends on success to make it so

Many things are involved in remembering people's names." - Robert Bjork Self regulated learning The key is for us all to learn how to learn more effectively.

Meg Urry shares approaches we can use to help our students correct inaccurate mental models and grasp complex information.

PODCAST NOTES: Correcting inaccurate mental models

Guest: Dr. Meg Urry Connect with Meg on Twitter

Interest in science At some moment it clicked and I understood what it meant. Not only was that the moment that I started to like physics, but also the moment I realized everybody can learn physics if they get this key that unlocks the door. You don’t want to leave them in the same state that I was in… of wondering why the heck we’re doing this… You want people to get over that hump and suddenly see that this is really simple, straightforward, beautiful, and useful." - Meg Urry

Gender discrimination in the sciences “It was very typical for me to be one of the only women in the class and the guys just sort of took over." - Meg Urry

“I always assumed that if someone claimed authority about something, that they must, indeed, know about it. It turns out lots of people do that all the time." - Meg Urry

“When I entered graduate school in 1977 at John Hopkins university, it had allowed women in as undergraduates only since 1970." - Meg Urry It hasn’t been easy [for women]." - Meg Urry

People who feel different than the norm (who feel outside the tribe) have a harder time learning." - Meg Urry

Science faculty’s subtle gender biases favor male students Moss-Racusin, C. A., Dovidio, J. F., Brescoll, V. L., Graham, M. J. and Handelsman, J. (2012) ‘Science faculty’s subtle gender biases favor male students’, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 109(41), p. 16474. doi: 10.1073/pnas.1211286109. (Moss-Racusin et al., 2012)

Despite efforts to recruit and retain more women, a stark gender disparity persists within academic science. Abundant research has demonstrated gender bias in many demographic groups, but has yet to experimentally investigate whether science faculty exhibit a bias against female students that could contribute to the gender disparity in academic science. In a randomized double-blind study (n = 127), science faculty from research-intensive universities rated the application materials of a student—who was randomly assigned either a male or female name—for a laboratory manager position. Faculty participants rated the male applicant as significantly more competent and hireable than the (identical) female applicant. These participants also selected a higher starting salary and offered more career mentoring to the male applicant. The gender of the faculty participants did not affect responses, such that female and male faculty were equally likely to exhibit bias against the female student. Mediation analyses indicated that the female student was less likely to be hired because she was viewed as less competent. We also assessed faculty participants’ preexisting subtle bias against women using a standard instrument and found that preexisting subtle bias against women played a moderating role, such that subtle bias against women was associated with less support for the female student, but was unrelated to reactions to the male student. These results suggest that interventions addressing faculty gender bias might advance the goal of increasing the participation of women in science."(Moss-Racusin et al., 2012) “Both the women and the men made this gender-biased judgment.” - Meg Urry Early lessons in teaching “I didn’t realize how hard these students were working.” - Meg Urry The first year, I did straight lecture intro to physics, but, I realized something was missing.” - Meg Urry

“In order to learn anything, we need to confront the failure of faulty knowledge, of faulty mental models. Students aren’t given enough opportunity to do that and when they are, the stakes are way too high for them.” - Josh Eyler

Mindset matters and so does proximal development Toy Story

Mindset on episode #062 with Rebecca Campbell James Lang on Mindset in The Chronicle More than mindset: Josh’s writing on Vygotsky

“Understanding our intellectual development in more complex terms can help students wrap their minds around the learning process.” - Josh Eyler

The pursuit of knowledge can be heightened through curiosity Constructivism

“Curiosity is one of our most deeply rooted mechanisms by which human beings learn.” - Josh Eyler

“It’s that curiosity - that desire to know - that we need to be cultivating in our classrooms.” Josh Eyler

The knife that solves the butter problem

Learning happens everywhere Up

“The reality is that learning is a very big idea and it happens everywhere.” - Josh Eyler

“My wife has been very sick for the last year and I’ve learned quite a bit about courage from her. I learn so much from my three year-old daughter about how to tackle life with a toddler’s zeal.” - Josh Eyler

The Skillful Teacher: On Technique, Trust, and Responsiveness in the Classroom

Rebecca Campbell shares about the power of mindset. Podcast notes Mindset Guest: Dr. Rebecca Campbell Recommended by Michelle Miller, from episode #026.

Associate Professor of Education and the Director and Department Chair for Academic Transition Programs at Northern Arizona University. Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. - Christopher Robin

Background on mindset

Early introductions Dissertation work on a piece: epistemological beliefs - where knowledge comes from. "You either get it or you don't."

Growth vs fixed mindset Isn't about teaching differently, but about framing the conversation differently. - Rebecca Campbell

Performance barriers A better way of describing those things holding students back from academic achievement How to help students achieve more of a growth mindset

Normalize help-seeking behavior: supplemental instruction, tutoring, writing centers, office hours, peers Help seeking behavior is a big deal

The shift between high school and college is pretty big. - Rebecca Campbell ... students come and arrive with lots of incoming characteristics. None of these things have to be overcome, in order for them to be successful.

How they engage in learning. How they leverage help-seeking behaviors. << That's what defines student success.

These processes can be guided, coached, mentored and taught. - Rebecca Campbell

When we make the processes explicit, we make effort explicit and we are saying everyone can grow if you engage in the right processes. - Rebecca Campbell

We can guide students about the process of learning. Recommendations Bonni recommends:

Doing it Wrong On Not Swimming Reflections from a New Faculty Developer

Losing control during a course

Decided how to make this work, but learned some lessons along the way Too much focus on "covering" the content Disappointing results in students' un-essay projects

[When things happen outside your control], sometimes you've got to let go of some of the coverage [of course content] in order to accomplish the learning goals. - Lee Skallerup Bassette

Finding balance

Tends to happen in stages/seasons (especially regarding the kid's ages) Husband just got tenure and those demands also needed to be taken into consideration

Blogging was one of the things that I used to try to maintain some sort of balance. It was something I did for me and my own sanity. - Lee Skallerup Bassette

Students losing control

Worked at diverse institutions Had students research the resources available on campus to them during times of struggle Cultural aspects to a death in the family

I saw my role as listening, so that they felt heard, and then guiding them to a place where they could be more effectively helped. - Lee Skallerup Bessette

Edward Oneill joins me to talk about practical instructional design. Podcast notes Practical instructional design Guest Edward Oneill, Senior instructional designer at Yale.

Teach Better Podcast I know a little bit about a lot of things. - Edward Oneill (and also Diana Krall, etc.)

What Edward's clients often need

intuitively-appealing ways of conceptualizing the learning process a survey of the relevant tools & which fit their needs & capacities

Edward's special skill ...finding the points in the learning process where assessment and evaluation can be woven in seamlessly Design approach of Edward's early courses Successes

Made sure students had to do something every week Ensured consistent deadlines Weekly messages, creatively introducing them to that week

Failures

Disconnected topics, no second chances

You don't learn anything by doing it once. - Edward Oneill

Not opportunities for practice

I wanted to see it as the students' fault. It's so hard to get out of that [mindset]. - Edward Oneill

Biggest challenges in our teaching

We know our content, but we don't realize how tightly packed our knowledge is... Edward's blog post about the Five stages of teaching Peter Newbury - prior Teaching in Higher Ed guest on episode #053 shared about recall / connections

Rehearsal and elaboration It's about stepping away from the center and helping [students] communicate with each other. - Edward Oneill

Methods for incorporating assessment and evaluation into the design of courses

Have shorter/smaller forms of assessment that aren't necessarily graded 100% of the time Use their performance as your own assessment

Bonni shares about teaching with Ellen's Heads Up iPad game

Jeopardy game as form of reinforcement Recommendations Bonni recommends: Parker Palmer quote I am a teacher at heart, and there are moments in the classroom when I can hardly hold the joy. When my students and I discover uncharted territory to explore, when the pathway out of a thicket opens up before us, when our experience is illumined by the lightning-life of the mind—then teaching is the finest work I know. - Parker Palmer Edward comments: There is a special privilege in people letting you help them grow and change. - Edward Oneill Edward recommends: On Becoming a Person, by Carl Rogers As a teacher, I need to see you as a unique learner. If I really try to understand you and try to help you grow, it is not so much about information transfer; it is a more humane kind of relationship. - Edward Oneill

When you're passionate about teaching and you focus on it and you try to improve - you do. - Edward Oneill

Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less

Jesse Stommel, shares about how he enhances his teaching with Twitter.

Podcast notes Teaching with Twitter

Guest: Jesse Stommel About Hybrid Pedagogy

Twitter basics

Getting started with Twitter Jesse's blog post: Teaching with Twitter Twitter Pedagogy: An educator down the Twitter rabbit hole, by Kelsey Schmitz The rules of Twitter, by Dorothy Kim

Jesse's background When I grew up, I always wanted to have my own school... [Hybrid Pedagogy] is not really as much a repository for articles, but a space for community and for engaging. - Jesse Stommel

Was recently in Canada for the Digital Humanities Summer Institute, where he broke his ankle On kindness Kindness is what drives my pedagogy. It's about seeing people for who they really are and engaging with their full selves. - Jesse Stommel

Part of [kindness] is also about bringing your full self to the relationship you have with your coworkers, your students, and [other collaborators] that you use as a guiding ethic. - Jesse Stommel

What the 140 limitation does The constraints of Twitter are also its affordances. Being asked to take an idea and put it in this constrained linguistic space of 140 characters forces us to think about and question our thinking in ways we wouldn't otherwise. - Jesse Stommel

Twitter allows for improvisation within a framework What students should know Twitter lets us play out our ideas Twitter is a space for trying out ideas. It encourages us to iterate... - Jesse Stommel

[Twitter] is like a tool in the way that a pencil is a tool. A tool that lots of people can use for lots of different reasons. It becomes this platform that you can use in different ways and environments. - Jesse Stommel Conversation with Steve Wheeler re: digital natives on episode 38 Literacies Each person has to find a different relationship to these tools and build their own self inside of the network. - Jesse Stommel Privacy literacy Anyone who imagines that they can become private just with the flip of a switch is not really understanding how these networks work. - Jesse Stommel Reflections on Teaching in Higher Ed episode 31 on the social network Yik Yak Creative ways to teach with Twitter

Mark Hofer shares how he implements Universal Design for Learning in his teaching, so that all students have the opportunity to learn. Podcast notes Guest: Mark Hofer

Twitter Luminaris Blog

Universal design for learning Student, Tony, who helped Mark identify the need for Universal Design for Learning (UDL) ...gives all individuals equal opportunities to learn. - National Center on Universal Design for Learning

National Center on Universal Design for Learning

UDL on Campus Interactive version of UDL guidelines Printable version of UDL guidelines

Universal design in architecture

If you think about [the UDL] components as you're designing your course, you're going to wind up with better learning experiences for all your students. - Mark Hofer Addressing concerns about UDL We inadvertently put up barriers for our students in their learning.

Mark's compare and contrast example, written about on his blog

Get started incorporating UDL into a course Step 1:

What do I know that students struggle with related to this [topic or competency]?

Step 2:

What kind of options could I include to help them with [those common challenges]?

It does take students some time to get used to the idea that there may be more than one way to [accomplish] something. - Mark Hofer

Guidelines

Engagement - Mark is building his course around badges and experiences (through gamification and choice)

...goal is to try to make the learning as relevant and interesting to the learning, not just initially, but to sustain their interest in the learning... - Mark Hofer

Representation - pulling together readings, videos, interactives, where you can choose the way to learn Action and expression - Mark is creating, for each project, 3 different options, all measured by the same rubric

While it is more [work] to select the various kinds of resources, it's paid back when in class the students are more prepared and we can go into further depth. -Mark Hofer Getting started with UDL

Peter Newbury describes getting started with peer instruction on episode #053

Don't try to do [UDL] for every lesson, every day; it's a recipe for burnout. - Mark Hofer

Make sure all assignments aren't of the same type, over the course of a semester "Pick a topic / concept that you know that students struggle with and try to find a range of different materials and see if it makes a difference." - Mark Hofer

Common misconception about UDL

While technology can help you implement UDL, it isn't dependent on using it... UDL is an instructional approach and does not require technology

In relation to universal design If you apply good accessibility practices to [course content], it will really benefit multiple learners in the process. - Mark Hofer Recommendations Bonni recommends:

Don’t search for “purpose.” You will fail. by Jonathan Malesic in The New Republic. Pursuing "purpose"

Find your purpose! pic.twitter.com/m3WKV2tWAa — Jon Malesic (@JonMalesic) May 23, 2015

The components of finding "purpose"

You love it The world needs it You are paid for it You are great at it

The intersections

1/2 = Mission (you love it and the world needs it) 2/3 = Vocation (the world needs it and you are paid for it) 3/4 = Profession (you are paid for it and you are great at it) 4/1 = Passion (you are great at it and you love it)

The often unlabeled overlaps in the Venn diagram

Please don’t be a physician (you love it; the world needs it) Burnout (the world needs it; you can be paid for it) Kardashian (you can be paid for it; you are good at it) Exploitation (you are good at it; you love it)

Pursuing "success" The best productivity tool we have as faculty is not a technology; it's our personal self-investment in our work. It's our commitment to students. It's our commitment to research. It's our commitment to our institutions. - Jonathan Malesic

We can be so committed to our work that we eventually start to hate it. We have identified ourselves so strongly with it that it becomes too much of a burden for our work. - Jonathan Malesic

Students' evaluation of us and student learning doesn't necessarily match up very well with our evaluation of ourselves. - Jonathan Malesic

That's still something worth hoping for... But, it's important to tell students that [the center piece] isn't always attainable. There's a lot of meaning to be had in our work, even if we don't hit that "sweet spot." - Jonathan Malesic Article: Job, career, vocation, life by Charles Matthews in Inside HigherEd Other articles suggested by Jon on this topic In the Name of Love, by Miya Tokumitsu

Peter Newbury joins me to talk about peer instruction and using clickers in the higher ed classroom.

Early experiences with clickers The Carl Wieman Science Education Initiative Achieving the most effective, evidence-based science education (effective science education, backed by evidence)

The Carl Wieman Science Education Initiative (CWSEI) is a multi-year project at The University of British Columbia aimed at dramatically improving undergraduate science education.

The CWSEI helps departments take a four-step, scientific approach to teaching:

Establish what students should learn Scientifically measure what students are actually learning Adapt instructional methods and curriculum and incorporate effective use of technology and pedagogical research to achieve desired learning outcomes Disseminate and adopt what works

The Carl Wieman Science Education Initiative resources on general teaching, clickers, and peer instruction

Today's use of clickers and other audience response systems

iClicker 2 radio clickers Colleagues use cards: A, B, C, D… Plickers… Bonni has a set of Turning Technologies RF clickers

Whether we are using physical devices, such as clickers, or we are using more of a bring your own device / smart phone /tablet option, it's really just a tool.

“I certainly don’t want to say that in order to use peer instruction, you have to have this piece of technology. It’s not about the clicker.” #peerinstruction

“Peer instruction is not a shiny thing that comes with clickers. Clickers are one tool you can use to facilitate peer learning.” Peer Instruction foundations Peer Instruction Fundamentals

How People Learn (free ebook) states that experts must:

Have a deep foundation of factual knowledge Understand those facts and concepts in a conceptual framework Organize the knowledge in ways that facilitate retrieval and application

More on peer instruction basics:

“If I’m not making your brains work, then I’m not teaching hard enough.” “We need to schedule time into the class where students can stop and think, and start to learn.” “Just stop talking for a while and let the students start to think.”

Effective Peer Instruction Questions

Peter's post on what makes for good peer instruction questions? And what makes bad ones? “If I can just ask Siri the answer to the question, that’s [not a good one for peer instruction].” Removing barriers to learning, such as high stakes questions/exercises "...not about getting the right answer, but about practicing how to think.” Homework question will have the opportunity to assess for correctness.

“Dear students” blogs on The Chronicle

Jesse Strommel’s response http://www.jessestommel.com/blog/files/dear-chronicle.html Everyone that comes into even casual contact with Vitae’s “Dear Student” series is immediately tarnished by the same kind of anti-intellectual, uncompassionate, illogical nonsense currently threatening to take down the higher education system in the state of Wisconsin…

Giggling at the water cooler about students is one abhorrent thing.

Publishing that derisive giggling as “work” in a venue read by tens of thousands is quite another.

Of course, teachers need a safe place to vent. We all do. That safe place is not shared faculty offices, not the teacher’s lounge, not the library, not a local (public) watering hole. And it is certainly not on the pages of the Chronicle of Higher Education, especially in Vitae, the publication devoted to job seekers, including current students and future teachers. - Jesse Strommel

A former guest on Teaching in Higher Ed, Josh Eyler, gets me thinking about vulnerability in our teaching... Podcast notes Guest: Sandie Morgan

Luke bringing me a broken egg yesterday.

What's this, Mommy? What was inside, Mommy? With vulnerability comes a lot of poop. Josh Eyler talking about how vulnerable our students need to be on episode 16

Wrote a powerful post about his wife's health challenges and his vulnerability this past semester. And so, like Carl, we are working together to turn a new page, to imagine a new life for our family—one in which we do not ignore the reality of Kariann’s illness but at the same time do not let it define our future. This is much easier to say than it is to do. How do we begin then? We are trying to make each day as good as it can possibly be without thinking too much about the bigger picture just yet. From there, I think we just keep swimming. - Josh Eyler Questions to consider:

How do we need to be vulnerable in our teaching? Are there boundaries on both ends? What kind of vulnerability do you see being required when asking for and processing feedback from students?

When deciding whether to take the risk:

Is it related to the course? Does it help model for my students the importance of failure in shaping our learning and our lives? What does it look like to integrate my experience in a way that brings real life Can I share it and still model resilience in our professional roles? What do I anticipate that the students' responses to it might be? Will it help me be more approachable to my students?

I am thoroughly enjoying your podcast episodes and have shared them with many of my colleagues already. I believe what I have taken away from the shows is your ease of describing the technology and pedagogical challenges, the show format with the notes and the wide variety of topics that are so pertinent to me and many of my colleagues.

I am just so thirsty for knowledge and application to help revitalize our faculty at the college and get them more excited about technology in education.

We are also very involved with the CA Online Education Initiative, piloting online tutoring at this time so this is also very timely to have come across your podcast series. You have a very unique, gentle and fun-loving attitude toward technology topics and with your guests.

I am in the process of developing a new course, Universal Design in Online Course Development, and was wondering if you would be, or have already covered universal design in one of your podcasts. I would also be interested in hearing more about instructional design. Although you may have already covered some of these topics, I will eventually hear them all.

Team communication for the 21st century. Imagine all your team communication in one pace, instantly searchable, available wherever you go. Create channels, which include messages, files, and comments, inline images and video, rich line summaries, and integration with services you use every day, like Twitter, Dropbox and Google drive. How did we use it? Has default channels: #general, #random… added ones for #movienights at our house (address, carpooling, etc.), and for each of the research/service learning projects. Can do private ones that no one else sees, which we did for the business ethics competition, so competitors wouldn’t be able to see the cases we were considering, etc. Students’ feedback Really liked it. Searchability. Ease of use. What they didn’t like was just the number of places they have to remember to check, assuming they weren’t on the web app. Empathy for our students A veteran teacher turned coach shadows 2 students for 2 days – a sobering lesson learned Piazza

Scott Self and Bonni Stachowiak share how they each integrate Evernote into their classes and workflows. Even if you aren't an Evernote user, you're bound to pick up a few tips. Podcast notes Guest: Scott Self

Microsoft OneNote Writing-specific applications, such as Ulysses or Scrivener Circus Ponies Notebook

Guidance on maximizing the value of course assets

Linking smart post LMS - keep the course assets out of it

Creating collaborative learning environments with Evernote

Use it in a uni-directional way, not necessarily a conversational tool... Classroom becomes a kind of conversation around learning Scott gives students the unique, Evernote email address to send notes to the class-specific evernote notebook He sets permissions up so that he’s the only one who can edit the notes in the notebook - read-only

Getting started with Evernote Scott’s posts

Evernote in Higher Ed Introduction Evernote in the classroom

We both recommend

Brett Kelly's Evernote Essentials eBook

Big advantages of Evernote

Easy capture

On iOS - text, audio, sticky notes, documents (auto-size), photo Web clipper Drafts - iOS app - start typing Email - lots of tricks to organize when you send

Search capabilities Integration with other apps and services Keeps one’s course out of the LMS environment - the instructor should own the material, not the LMS

Our advice

Grow with it (start with the basics and go from there) Keep folder structure simple

Bonni uses just reference, work, and personal, along with a shared notebook and a couple required ones that store my LiveScribe pencasts Scott has only a few notebooks. I do have one for each section of a course that I teach so that I can share lecture notes, resources, and “FYIs” with my students.

As a “Premium” user, we have access to the “Presenter” view. Scott says:

Students see my lecture notes in a clear and uncluttered presentation, and have access to the information in the shared notes. I prefer that students take notes about the lecture - rather than copying down what’s on the screen.

Use tags when you would have normally used a folder. Scott says:

Yes! The search function is so powerful, it is often faster to search for a note than to navigate through a tree of folders

Capture whiteboard brainstorms in meetings (will recognize your handwritten text). Scott says:

My students with disabilities have become infamous on campus for snapping pictures of whiteboards. This saves time (and frustration for the students with learning disabilities), and the snaps can be annotated.

Use the inbox for quick capturing and have an action in your task management system to process it however regularly you need to… Scott says:

This can be done very quickly, since you can select a number of notes and bulk process them (tagging, merging, or sending to a notebook) When you get really geeky with Evernote

Automate agendas in Evernote Use Drafts app to prepend / append notes on a given topic (our kids’ “firsts” notes, research ideas) Use TaskClone to capture and sync to dos with your task manager Katie Floyd’s Article on Evernote and Hazel Save Kindle highlights into Evernote

Bonni Stachowiak explores how to care for grieving students.

PODCAST NOTES How to care for grieving students

Respect confidentiality… to a point Point them toward their resources Avoid assumptions… if you can Be human Don’t lower course requirements; let them earn their degree, not receive it through pity Recognize the pain of the neutral zone (coined by Bridges in his book: Transitions: Making sense of life's changes) Avoid personalizing dishonesty

RECOMMENDATIONS

Process your own grief

One wonderful book for processing one's grief and going through transitions is William Bridges' The Way of Transition: Embracing Life's Most Difficult Moments. We resist transition not because we can't accept the change, but because we can't accept letting go of that piece of ourselves that we have to give up when and because the situation has changed. - William Bridges

Not all understand the idea of the law of diminishing returns by the time they get to the course Would be the ideal situation for an interactive online module something like the scenario manager in Excel (under data, what-if, scenario manager) Did the typical think-pair-share Two truths and a tie exercise

Bonni and Dave Stachowiak discuss what to do before you act on all you’ve captured.

PODCAST NOTES: Episode #32 talked about capture. All the places where we capture what it is we need to do (either because of others’ demands, or freeing up our mind of the “clutter” of stuff that needs doing). Clarify and organize Before we do any of it… we need to:

Clarify - process what it means Organize - put it where it belongs

For each item we have captured, we ask: What action needs to take place? Follow this GTD guide

If it isn’t actionable, are you going to need it in the future for reference?

Avoid becoming a digital hoarder

PODCAST NOTES Steve Wheeler

Bio

Learning with 'e's Origins of Learning with 'e's

2007 started blogging Learning using digital technologies… Incorporates comments from people into the book

eLearning 3.0 If Web 1.0 was the 'Write Web' and Web 2.0 is the 'Read/Write Web', then Web 3.0 will be the 'Read/Write/Collaborate Web'.

Coined by Tim Reilly of O'Reilly media - progression or evolution of the web Web 1.0 - the sticky web Web 2.0 - the participatory web Web 3.0 - the read/write/collaborative web

Digital natives/immigrants vs residents/visitors Mark Frensky - coined the phrases digital natives and digital immigrants in 2000 / 2001 - The Horizon

Digital natives Digital immigrants Net Generation

It's not about age; it's about context. -Steve Wheeler Residents and visitors - coined by David S. White and Alison Le Cornu

Challenging to find a universal digital literacy tool Every individual’s context is unique. -Steve Wheeler

I know what I need to do with the tools that are available to me and so do my students. -Steve Wheeler

We learn best when we are curious. We become curious when we don't know the answer to something. And we don't know the answer to something when we get challenged. Problem based learning is probably the most powerful method you could possibly use. -Steve Wheeler Twitter Initially got interested in the backchannel chatter happening at a conference.

@stevewheeler account - started with that, though his more popular account to follow is…

@timbuckteeth - avatar - Dave, the astronaut on the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey Twitter for me is probably for me the most powerful tool for communicating I've ever used. -Steve Wheeler Lack persistence - You need to give it time. [Twitter] is not about the content; it’s about the conversation. -Steve Wheeler The practice of blogging If [professors don't blog], how else are they going to express themselves? -Steve Wheeler Professors normally express themselves through closed, academic journals. The academic capital that most universities currently subscribe to... That's going to change.

Why Steve knows that blogging is much more effective:

Wrote an article in 2005: wasn’t published for nearly three years; revised. 36 academic citations.

At the same time, wrote another article, sent it in to an open-access journal; five people instead of two… Not only did they publish it within six weeks. The way forward for disseminating… 550k views; Almost 1,000 citations.

Blogging. People are actually reading it. Could be much harsher in their criticism. Reflect on practice more deeply. 3,000 views in a day. Don’t know how he could possibly get that kind of exposure through traditional academic journals. US

Ken Bain describes What the Best College Teachers Do... PODCAST NOTES Guest: Ken Bain

President, Best Teachers Institute, Ken Bain (Twitter: @kenbain1)

"Internationally recognized for his insights into teaching and learning and for a fifteen-year study of what the best educators do"

"His now classic book What the Best College Teachers Do. (Harvard University Press, 2004) won the 2004 Virginia and Warren Stone Prize for an outstanding book on education and society, and has been one of the top selling books on higher education. It has been translated into twelve languages and was the subject of an award-winning television documentary series in 2007."

He was the founding director of four major teaching and learning centers. WHAT THE BEST COLLEGE TEACHERS DO Many will be familiar with What the Best College Teachers Do… If not, press stop, and get your hands on it.

What’s still the same, in the >10 years since the book was published?

"Ask engaging questions that spark people’s curiosity and fascination that people find intriguing…"

What’s changed, if anything?

More definition around the natural critical learning environment Started with 4-5 basic elements Since then, they have identified 15 different elements... Deep approach to learning; deep achievement in learning

[Good teaching] is about having students answer questions or solving problems that they find intriguing, interesting, or beautiful. (Ken Bain) Learner isn’t in charge of the questions. Teacher can raise questions that the learner will never invent on their own.

Need to give learners the same kind of learning condition and environment that we expect as advanced learners. [As an advanced learner, asking for input from colleagues]... I would expect an environment in which I would try, fail, receive feedback… and do that in advance of and separate from anybody's judgment or anyone's grading of my work. (Ken Bain) Bonni's introduction to business students are listening to the StartUp Podcast and making recommendations to the founders in the form of a business plan

The tone that you set in the classroom matters We often teach as if we are God. (Craig Nelson) Need to recognize the contingency in our own knowledge. As advanced learners in our respective fields, we are interested in certain questions, because we were once interested in another question. (Ken Bain) Another important study by Richard Light at Harvard asked: What are the qualities of those courses at Harvard that students find most intellectually rewarding?

When he published his initial results:

High, but meaningful standards… important to the students beyond the scope of the class. Plenty of opportunity to try, fail, receive feedback… try again… all in advance of an separate from any grading of their work

As a historian, could begin with: “What do you think it means to think like a good historian.” Think, pair, square, share… Would then have an article on hand that someone else had written on the topic. Ask them to look at that article to compare their own thinking with that.

It showed how people’s thoughts about rats could affect their behavior. Another scientist, Carol Dweck, explains that it’s true for people too: expectations affect students, children, soldiers, in measurable ways.

In today’s episode, President Jose Antonio Bowen encourages us to become good at “Teaching Naked."

Podcast notes Guest: Dr. Jose Antonio Bowen, President, Goucher College

Teaching Naked: How Moving Technology Out of Your College Classroom Will Improve Student Learning Recommendations (part 1) This episode, we start with Bonni's recommendation and ask Dr. Bowen questions from Storycorps.

Storycorps About Storycorps Storycorps's Great questions Danny and Annie's animated story Ask your colleagues the questions related to working from Storycorps

Teaching Naked The thing that teachers do best in the classroom is to be human beings, and to get to know their students as human beings, and to make that connection between what matters to their students and what matters to them. (Jose Bowen)

Start with what matters to your students Used to have the advantage, based on knowledge Use class time to make genuine connections and not simply for providing information Technology works great outside the classroom for quizzing, communication, etc. We know more about teaching than we did when we were in school Pedagogy needs to be our central focus, and most of us weren't trained in it

A teaching failure Bonni admits to one of her bigger failures in teaching in the past few years

Driving the stick shift car and not always having it turn out the way we want it to

Overcoming the failures - Jose gives advice We are opaque as to our own intellectual accent. Everybody has an accent in the way they speak, but they also have an accent in the way they think.

Academics, in particular, are bad examples of learning, because we learned in spite of the system. We're the odd balls. We're the weirdos. We're the people who liked school so much that we're still here.

Most students don't learn that way.

Failure is simply part of the game. Disconnect is just part of what happens. (Dr. Jose Bowen)

Embrace mistakes Admit when things go wrong Describe why you tried what you did Model change ("I changed my mind.")

The end of the story The Naked Classroom

Furniture moves around; no rows No technology / screen Index cards Noisy Laptops aren't typically necessary

Nobody uses a laptop while doing yoga or playing tennis (Jose Bowen)

I believe in noisy and messy classrooms. Complexity. Lots of failures. People having to confront real problems. Confront each other. Confront me... (Jose Bowen) For beginners... need to set the stage and expectations... after that, they know how the game works. Twitter

Jose on Twitter Bonni on Twitter Michael Hyatt's beginners' guide to Twitter Bonni's resources to help you learn Twitter

Recommendations (part 2) Jose closes the podcast episode with his recommendations.

Merlot II: Multimedia educational resource for learning and online teaching SmashFact: Create custom study apps for your students' devices

Change is hard. It's hard for you and it's hard for your students... Keep asking your students what's working. Expect some failure. It's not a linear process.

That's the process of learning and we're all learning how to do something new: And that's how to be better, more engaged teachers. (Jose Bowen) Closing credits

Fears and concerns over changes in higher education persist.

In today’s episode, Dr. Cathy Davidson joins us to talk about finding the right practice, and the right tools, and being able to see what we’ve been missing in higher ed. Podcast notes Guest: Dr. Cathy Davidson

Cathy on Twitter Attention The gorilla experiment

Selective attention test video by Simons and Chabris (1999) We have a capacity for learning constantly. -Cathy Davidson Patients as co-learners with their physicians in the healing process Examples of facilitation of learning, unlearning, and relearning Students write a class constitution What happens if you take responsibility for your own learning? - Cathy Davidson Alvin Toffler's term: unlearning

Alvin Toffler has said that, "...in the rapidly changing world of the twenty-first century, the most important skill anyone can have is the ability to stop in ones tracks, see what isn't working, and then find ways to unlearn old patterns and relearn how to learn.

This requires all of the other skills in this program but is perhaps the most important single skill we will teach." ...Sadly, we all find gorillas in our lives. They usually come through tragedy... We have all had those moments when there's a before and an after in your life when the world looks different. The world was not different. What changed was your ability to see a world that you didn't have to see when you were priviledged not to... when you thought the world only had basketball tosses in it. It wasn't that the gorilla didn't exist; it was that you didn't see it. -Cathy Davidson Multitasking

Fears about the calculator Debates in state legislatures and in the senate when Motorola wanted to put a radio in the car Radio actually helped save lives, especially in night driving, to combat the issue of falling asleep at the wheel Brain is constantly multitasking; we just don't realize it

Flow tasks (Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi)

Brain surgery, playing chess, dancing to rock music, video game playing Reading a book is not considered a flow task - people go off the page in 2-3 minutes; we think we are concentrating, when we are not

Engaging Ideas 2e

Educational technology that is designed “with the brain in mind” can be a catalyst in facilitating learning.

On today’s episode, Dr. Michelle Miller draws from her research in neuroscience and cognitive psychology and shows us how to facilitate learning for minds online. Podcast notes Minds Online: Teaching Effectively with Technology How do we use our memory resources to process information Study of human cognition and thought processes

What College Teachers Should Know About Memory: A Perspective from Cognitive Psychology (June, 2011) Journal of College Teaching

For the Internet generation, educational technology designed with the brain in mind offers a natural pathway to the pleasures and rewards of deep learning. Drawing on neuroscience and cognitive psychology, Michelle Miller shows how attention, memory, critical thinking, and analytical reasoning can be enhanced through technology-aided approaches. (Book description) Effective teaching Becoming an expert in a discipline, that journey from novice to expert... (Dr. Miller)

Not just facts; rich, interconnected network of knowledge Skill acquisition Motivation: Can't separate motivation, emotion, and cognition

Technology in education

Avoid the gadget-based approach Interleaved learning: Mix-up the topics you're assessing...

Applied memory findings

The testing effect The interleaving effect The spacing effect

Minds Online We made the internet to satisfy our needs and desires... The myth of the tech savvy student

Students differentiate technology use Skills and abilities from one domain don't always transfer over to another domain very well Emphasizing why we are using a particular technology tool

Memory in the Internet age Expertise and knowledge cannot be fully separated

Needed for problem solving Speed necessity Ability to perceive the connections

Motivating online students

Face-to-face context builds our skills and approaches to heighten motivation These techniques are missing in the online environment Procrastination is an even bigger factor Distractions abound

[Motivation] is not all about the points [in the online environment]. (Dr. Miller) Recommendations Bonni recommended Dr. Miller's book (Minds Online) and ClassTools.net’s Fakebook tool to create a fake Facebook page/timeline… Going to teach business ethics next semester and have students create one for the Enron crisis.

Cameron's students contributed to the Medieval Disability Glossary by including their research on the word 'lame' Teaching philosophy ...to make the familiar strange and the strange familiar... The truth about internet slang; it goes way back (in Salon Magazine)

Cameron's teaching philosophy from her website Creative assignments Must meet a specific goal and be measurable Backwards design Understanding by Design

Identify goals first What evidence would exhibit those goals Explore options for assignments that would provide that evidence

** Write a paragraph in "future English" Authentic pedagogy Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten. - B.F. Skinner, The New Scientist, May 21, 1964 About authentic pedagogy

Places an emphasis on learning that is a construction of prior knowledge and a high value on knowledge that extends beyond the classroom.

It is such a crucial part of what we do as professors... Getting students involved in discussions and helping to facilitate their learning. Dr. Jay Howard joins me on this episode to talk about how to engage students in the classroom and online.

Podcast Notes Guest Dr. Jay Howard Engaging Your Students Face-to-Face and Online (July 2015) (Jossey-Bass)

Garner multiple intelligences theory Sociologogical approach to observing the classroom

Norms

The real norm is not that students have to pay attention. It's that they have to pay civil attention.

Elevator norms David Karp and William Yoels from Boston College Episode on learning names

When students feel you value them enough to try to learn their names, they'll be much more forgiving of mistakes. Two classroom norms that do not foster discussion

Civil attention, create the appearance of paying attention Consolidation of responsibility for student participation

Attendance 2 app

Regardless of class size, there will be around five students who will become your dominant talkers who will account for 75-95% of student comments in the typical college class.

Online discussion forums

Waiting until the deadline Two deadlines Break students into groups Netiquette examples

Engage Students

You can change norms. They are not fixed. Shifting the workload toward the students. This helps them learn more.

Catching a student cheating can evoke all sorts of feelings: frustration, disappointment, anger, ambivalence. In episode 19 of Teaching in Higher Ed, Dr. James M. Lang joins me to talk about lessons learned from cheating. Podcast notes Our reactions to cheating

Disheartening experience Feels personal

You're the last thing on their mind. When a student is cheating... their cheating isn't an assault on your and your values. - James M. Lang

The reality of how many students are cheating in higher ed today

[Cheating] is a long term and persistent problem in higher education. - James M. Lang The learning environment's contribution to cheating

A positive or a negative contribution The curricula The individual classes

Reducing the likelihood for cheating

Infrequent, high-stakes assessment Engage in more frequent assessment (with feedback) When students have the opportunity to retrieve knowledge from their mind multiple times, and then do something with it, the more likely they are to remember it. Service learning: helps foster students' intrinsic motivation Offering unique learning experiences each semester

Plagiarism vs cheating

Both fall on a spectrum from easy/opportunity cheating to more planned Cheating and how learning works

Academic integrity as something that has to be learned

Knowledge: What is plagiarism? What's a citation/source? Skill: Citing sources, etc. Value: Belief that it's important and it matters

Academic integrity campaigns: Involve your students

Integrity at Lamar University Poster Project Advice for when we inevitably still encounter cheating

Step back emotionally Have an educational response Report it when it happens

Other cheating lessons

Self efficacy: Carol Dweck's research on mindset (video) Growth or fixed mindset Fixed mindset

"I can't write." "I can't do math." Fixed mindset were more likely to report that they would cheat the next time

"Learning is hard, but you're capable of getting better." "You say you worked hard on this." Early success opportunities

The Art of Changing the Brain: Enriching the Practice of Teaching by Exploring the Biology of Learning by James E. Zull What I find exciting is that we're starting to ask different kinds of questions now. -Josh Eyler Guest post Josh wrote on MassMedievil.com Finally, nothing but a breath, a comma, separates us from our students–for we do not teach medieval literature, medieval art, medieval history, or medieval archaeology; we teach students about these subjects, about new ways to see their world through the lens of the past. Our field will continue to live and breathe only insofar as we dedicate ourselves to teaching it. And here I look to the wisdom of my dissertation director, Fred Biggs, who once told me that everything is a teaching activity—writing, presenting, publishing, but especially our work in the classroom, where we will teach hundreds and even thousands of students over the course of a career. The work we do with our students will push back the boundaries of our knowledge about the Middle Ages ever further, but to accomplish this we need to tear down the tenuous hierarchies of our classrooms—professor/student, expert/novice—and move forward together as fellow learners, engaging in projects together, teaching each other, finding meaning together in this moment—our own pause, our breath, our comma. Movie clip: "student/teacher... learners... not much really separates us." - Josh Eyler Empathy is the foundation for all good teaching. - Josh Eyler Video clip of professors reading aloud negative student evaluations There's a vulnerability in the teaching/learning interaction. Students put themselves in a very vulnerable place, willingly, when they say, 'I don't know that; please help me learn that.' It's almost sacred that they're doing that. We have to take that and value it very highly. - Josh Eyler Recommendations Bonni's:

In exploring that topic, they're trying to gauge its multiple shades... by taking into account other people's views on it...

Dave and I talk about how to deal with students that we perceive as difficult, engaging them in the learning experiences in higher ed. Podcast notes Engaging difficult students in higher ed Guest: Dave Stachowiak

Dave and I talk about how to engage students that we perceive as difficult. We start by describing the dangers in labeling people as difficult.

Be cautious about focusing on the more challenging students, at the expense of the learner who is engaged and desiring to learn.

Dave tells a story about how his chemistry teacher created a memorable experience for his students.

Distinguishing students who don't want to be there, but aren't distracting other students from learning, and those who are barriers to others' learning.

Help students save face, when possible.

Attempt to keep conversations one-on-one, unless there's a compelling reason that the dialog needs to happen in the classroom community. Recommendations Difficult Conversations: How to Discuss What Matters Most by Douglas Stone, Bruce Patton, and Shelia Heen

Difficult Conversations: How to Discuss What Matters Most

Help classrooms become worthy of human habitation... a dialog with Chip Espinoza on generational cohorts, specifically millennials. Podcast notes Generations "We aren't saying that all these people are the same, just because they are the same age."

"My desire is not to have a conversation about millennials, but have a conversation with millennials. I don't want to have a conversation about professors; I want to have a conversation with professors."

Alone Together: Why We Expect More from Technology and Less from Each Other

It can be stressful to head back into another year of teaching in higher ed. However, there certainly are actions we can take to make our experience more peaceful and be more present for our students as we get our new academic year underway.

Our foci for the Fall Sandie and I share about where we are focused for the start to our academic year. We both have very different roles at the university, but share a desire for continually wanting to improve our students' learning experiences in our classes. We talk about the technology tools we will be using to support our work this year, along with other ways we will seek to facilitate learning more effectively.

How can we use silence to condition our students to answer the questions we pose? Podcast notes: Eight seconds of silence that will transform your teaching It is counter-intuitive. We want students to engage with us, so we pose questions. Then, they just look at us, or down at their desks, with a pained or bored expression. We decide this whole question-asking thing is for the birds... or, at least, for a different kind of class/discipline than the one in which we teach.

Guest: Dave Stachowiak

How we condition ourselves not to ask questions and condition our students not to answer them.

We try to get our students to engage by asking a question. They stare back at us, blankly. It's awkward.

Thinking in terms of what to cover in class, versus where the needs actually are. What has to happen before a student will answer a question.

Process what's been asked. See if they can formulate an answer to the question. Formulate an answer in their head (how they will convey their answer). Decide if it is safe to answer. Raise their hand, or speak (depending on the cultural rules in the classroom).

The 8 second rule takes this time I to account. It used the power of silence to pressure students to take to risk of engaging. EdTech Finds Broadening the definition of EdTech for the purpose of sharing a couple things that have captured our attention:

Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less

Overcome the excuses we make that stop us from pursuing more professional development opportunities in this episode of Teaching in Higher Ed.

There's a sign posted in our local (and beloved) grocery store: Trader Joe's. "Please do not use this machine if you have not been trained," it reads. The machine in question is a drink dispenser. As absurd as this is, in some cases, there's more training required to dispense raspberry lemonade than there is to teach a college class.

Guest: Dave Stachowiak

There are abundant resources out there for professional development, but we can sometimes be held back by our own excuses. Professional development excuses and opportunities Here are the most common excuses for not pursuing more training on how to teach and how to overcome each of them: Not enough time

How to formulate, refine, and articulate your teaching philosophy.

Podcast notes The academic portfolio: A practical guide to documenting teaching, research, and service by J. Elizabeth Miller Miller provides examples of the narrative from actual promotion and tenure portfolios. What is a teaching philosophy?

Why we teach. Why teaching matters. Not just a formula for teaching structure, but the rationale behind the structure.

Why is having a teaching philosophy important? Helps guide our teaching methods. Needed in the job hunting process. Typically part of the promotion/tenure process at most universities.

How to identify, articulate, & refine it? Questions from The Academic Portfolio (p. 13):

What do I believe about the role of a teacher, the role of a student? Why do I teach the way I do? What doesn't learning look like when it happens? Why do I choose the teaching strategies and the methods that I use? How do I assess my students learning?

Questions of my own that I have found useful in articulating my teaching philosophy:

Who are my students? How I describe them says a lot about how I approach my teaching. Who am I, as an educator? How I describe myself says a lot about my teaching, too. What is teaching? Is the purpose to convey information, or to facilitate learning (or something else altogether)?

Planet Money episode about young woman becoming a business owner in North Korea.

What are the artifacts of my teaching? Observable things. What would I see/hear/experience that would be evidence of those beliefs, if I was in your class? Espoused beliefs vs theories in use. Chris Argyris / Edgar Schein

From Psychology Today:

"Resilience is that ineffable quality that allows some people to be knocked down by life and come back stronger than ever. Rather than letting failure overcome them and drain their resolve, they find a way to rise from the ashes. Psychologists have identified some of the factors that make someone resilient, among them a positive attitude, optimism, the ability to regulate emotions, and the ability to see failure as a form of helpful feedback." Beware of ROUSs (rodents of unusual size) Politics in higher ed. power. French and Raven's five bases of power.

From MindTools:

"One of the most notable studies on power was conducted by social psychologists John French and Bertram Raven, in 1959." They identified five bases of power:

Legitimate – This comes from the belief that a person has the formal right to make demands, and to expect compliance and obedience from others. Reward – This results from one person's ability to compensate another for compliance. Expert – This is based on a person's superior skill and knowledge. Referent – This is the result of a person's perceived attractiveness, worthiness, and right to respect from others. Coercive – This comes from the belief that a person can punish others for noncompliance.

Note from Bonni re: Tapes.
