  • Shifts in pedagogical practices during "quaran-teaching" and beyond

    James Willis, Brenda Howard and Angelia Ridgway are an eclectic, interdisciplinary research group from University of Indianapolis (UIndy) in Indianapolis, IN. Serving as Faculty Development Fellows and Learning Management System (LMS) faculty development liaisons, the trio was intrigued to begin researching shifts in pedagogical practices during "quaran-teaching" and beyond!

    On this episode, we will hear about their collaborative research project that focuses on how teaching has changed since March 2020, the start of the global pandemic in the United States.

  • How are we preparing students for today?

    As educators, we have often heard the topic "How well are we preparing students for the future?". But recently a thought came to me, "How well are we preparing students for TODAY?". Many times, talking about what we're going to do tomorrow and how we're going to prepare for tomorrow, ignores today.

  • From Bach to Space, Time, and Matter

    In physics, it is common knowledge that space, time, and matter are 3 relatively difficult to define terms. They are the foundation for almost all of physics however, we struggle to put an absolute definition on them which often causes physicists to challenge those norms. In today's episode, we will explore the perceived parallels between music and these foundational aspects of physics using Bach's C Major Prelude. We hope that this unique look at the parallels between these two subjects will help you challenge the "normal" view of apparently opposing subjects.
