Todd Zakrajsek and Kevin Kelly talk about their book Advancing Online Teaching on episode 354 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

There is a human at the other end of that internet connection.

I look for the people who are not like me.

Stephanie Moore shares how to bring art and science into online teaching on episode 354 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Online learning gets boxed in quite often.

What does the college experience mean? And for whom?

Our teaching practices are continually improving and evolving.

You’re not failing, you’re learning.

David Franklin shares about his book, Invisible Learning, on episode 352 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

It is as much about the student’s relationship with statistics as it is about statistics itself.

How do our biases affect the way that we think?

He encourages an atmosphere in which he can be questioned.

Good teaching is about having students answer questions or solving problems that they find intriguing, interesting, or beautiful. – Ken Bain

Bonni Stachowiak shares how to create engaging asynchronous activities for Hyflex courses on episode 351 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Curation is an essential skill for me to practice.

Susan Blum shares about ungrading on episode 350 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Genuine education isn’t simply this points game.

If the learning is interesting, people will do it.

Think about your students as people who are learning things for purposes. If they are not learning for a grade, why else are they learning?

The goal is learning. Learning can be for the purpose of use or interest.

-Susan Blum

Maha Bali, Autumm Caines, and Mia Zamora share about community building activities on episode 349 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

It is not enough to tell students I want to listen to you. You have to build the trust so they will talk to you and be candid with you.

Community is more than just a gathering of people in a room. It is a sense of caring about one another and for something.

It is something really powerful when we learn together in community.

You can’t insist upon trust. It has to be something that emerges from moments.

Michelle D. Miller discusses why memory is important for learning – even in the age of Google on episode 348 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Ask students to link their learning to their own lives.

Courtney Plotts is back on Teaching in Higher Ed to discuss online culture on episode 347 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

When we look at the culture of learning, whether in the online space or in the classroom space, a lot of students experience marginalization.

Research says that marginalization is a self-selected way to deal with acculturated stress.

When we look at what successful students do, they are not independent, they are interdependent.

We have to be honest that campus culture is not the online culture. It is an extension, but it is not the same thing.

Archana McEligot discusses filling the equity gap in STEM fields on episode 346 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

You really do need that interdisciplinary perspective when looking at data.

We can’t work in silos, some of the greatest innovations and discoveries have happened through an interdisciplinary perspective.

Many underrepresented students experience imposter syndrome.

Seeing someone that looks like them is so important.

Adanely Jimenez, Adrian Delgado, + Jenny Vargas shares about transforming a university on episode 345 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

It was a big 180 slap in the face thing for me being around a whole diverse group of people and students who were my age, but I really thought everyone my age thought the way I did.

I was grateful to have professors who took the time to ask me what was wrong, if I was ok, and how it was going. Being able to speak to my professors when I was going through something made it easier for me to be real.
