Edward Leach shares about Reaching All Learners Through Innovation and Teaching Excellence on episode 276 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

There isn’t a lot of focus on what it means to teach at a community college, which is totally different than being at a four-year institution.

The most critical aspect of the teaching and learning process are the faculty members in the classroom.

Melanie Sage, Nancy Smyth, and Laurel Iverson Hitchcock share how they wrote a book with people they met on Twitter on episode 275 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Twitter had sort of a democratizing impact across our ranks.

What does it mean to be connected as humans across technology?

Technology is just a tool — we’re trying to do relationships like we would in any other space.

Sarah Cavanagh shares about her new book, HIVEMIND, on episode 274 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

We can enter a state of mind in which we join our social partners almost in a collective sort of consciousness.

Our ideas about the world are collectively sourced almost as much as they are individual.

We’re dividing into different camps and I think that’s dangerous.

Bonni Stachowiak shares about engaging learners in large classes on episode 273 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast

The act of predicting can enhance our learning.

Viji Sathy and Kelly Hogan share about inclusified evaluation of our teaching on episode 271 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

We want structure built into the way we teach, not just in the course design and facilitation.

When we don’t have structure in place, certain people are disadvantaged.

We think students should have a voice … but how that information is used is really important to think about.

How do we actually know that they’re learning what we intend for them to learn?

David Gooblar shares about his new book, The Missing Course*, on episode 279 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

The students are the material.

We don’t teach material, we teach human beings.

It’s less about a technique and more about your mindset.

How you think is ten times more important to me than what you think.

Jaime Hannans shares about empathy and extended reality on episode 270 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

I saw I could make a bigger impact if I taught.

Knowing how to navigate your space is a hurdle when you’re going into a new semester.

The debriefing is the key area where you can reflect on your learning.

Extended Reality:

Jennifer Pusateri discusses Removing Learning Barriers with Universal Design for Learning (UDL) on episode 269 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

We are unintentionally putting barriers in place for certain students.

They were modifying how they taught in the classroom to accommodate the kinds of students they had.

When we have a classroom that’s built around one specific way of teaching we’re leaving people out.

Christine Renaudin shares about Sonoma State’s Second Year Research & Creative Experience on episode 268 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Model attentive listening, active listening.

We can enhance each other’s efficiency and creativity by listening, learning, and supporting each other.

Don Saucier discusses trickle-down engagement on episode 267 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Our emotions are absolutely contagious.

What we need to do is challenge our students.

I tell my students there is nothing more powerful than their voice.

Being an expert is not the same as being an excellent teacher.
