Teaching in Higher Ed

David Rhoads shares about his doctoral research on hyflex learning on episode 309 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

I would have wished that I would have had some of the flexibility that we are now trying to design in our university.

Every type of professor and every type of course needs to be reevaluated towards learning outcomes.

Ryan Straight shares ways to use EdTech to help students feel engaged, connected, safe, and productive on episode 308 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast

Leave the LMS to deal with the management portion of things and bring the community elsewhere, because that is where the engagement comes from.

You have to be engaged first.

The number one thing that I want students to do is be a person rather than just a username.

Pedagogy comes first. The tool is just a tool.

Dale Hoffman shares about a commitment to change on episode 307 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

It took me about 5 years to get comfortable talking in front of an audience of people.

Trust is important.

Students need to like you before they can accept the idea that their education is relevant to you.

We need to make the prison experience a transformational one.

Martha Burtis shares about agency, learning, and purpose on episode 306 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Make space for people to find their agency.

There is so much trauma among our students that we don’t realize.

We need to rethink the opportunities we give students to demonstrate what they know.

All of us can probably tell stories of that teach we had who changes our life.

David White and Jose Bowen share about inspiration, failures and everything in between on episode 305 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

The current situation has really brought people together.

Whilst it is difficult times, it has also been exhilarating.

I’m really hopeful that we are forming working relationships that we can carry on with through this.

This is ultimately the time to rethink what we do.

Kevin Gannon shares about his book – Radical Hope: A Teaching Manifesto on episode 304 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Hope is embodied in practice.

Because I have hope, I cannot abide by the status quo because I know what could be, not just what should be.

“I had to realize that treating all students equally was not the same thing as treating all students equitably.”

Free speech is often weaponized against marginalized groups.

Rissa Sorensen-Unruh and Sean Michael Morris discuss critical pedagogy in STEM on episode 303 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Critical pedagogy sort of insists on a human connection in teaching and learning.

Active learning and critical pedagogy have a lot of overlap.

I’ve always felt that critical pedagogy itself is very flexible and has to be able to grow and change with the times, with technology, with audiences, and with our new awareness of social justice.

Learning is really their journey. We can go together and I can be part of that…. But in the journey, itself, I’m a bystander.

Tannis Morgan reflects on OpenEd and EdTech on episode 302 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

I think it’s important to approach things as fun.

What is your purpose to migrate towards open?

If you want open ed practices, you need open tools.

It is not the outcome, it is the doing part.

Andrew Stenhouse shares about positive work-life spillover on episode 301 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

We spend more of our waking hours at work than we do anyplace else.

There is always a fine line between engagement and burning ourselves out.

When we have control over our rhythm, that is where we tend to thrive.

If we are more engaged at work, we bring that positive energy, dedication, and sense of accomplishment back into our family life.

When you burn to know what comes next, you are feeling curious.

Curiosity is an essential part of the way human beings learn and it always has been.

Everybody has this hidden desire to want to do something meaningful in the world.
