    • Designing Online Experiences for Learners, with Judith Boettcher

      Judith Boettcher shares her expertise designing online experiences for learners on episode 189 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

      Quotes from the episode

      Autonomy really means helping students have their own sense of self.

      —Judith Boettcher

      What we really want to do is structure experiences where we don’t have the answers.

      —Judith Boettcher

      Review your courses and see where you can take the answers out and put the challenges in.

      —Judith Boettcher

      The best way to check whether or not you understand something is to teach it to someone else.

      • Designing Inclusive Games for The Higher Ed Classroom, with Anastasia Salter

        Anastasia Salter on episode 188 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast discusses designing inclusive games for the Higher Ed classroom.

        Quotes from the episode

        What comes out of it is what someone imagines.

        —Anastasia Salter

        The first thing to decide is why you are making the game. How do you want people to encounter this concept you have?

        —Anastasia Salter

        Start out trying to build the thing that brought you to games.

        • Laptops: Friend or Foe, with Todd Zakrajsek

          Todd Zakrajsek discusses laptops – friend or foe? – on episode 187 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

          Quotes from the episode

          Laptops weren’t the problem to begin with — attention was the problem.

          —Todd Zakrajsek

          Banning the problem doesn’t change the attention to you — it changes it to something else.

          —Todd Zakrajsek

          We live in a better system of thinking than dichotomies.

          —Todd Zakrajsek

          You can’t ban bacon thoughts.

            • Privacy and Safety in Online Learning, with Christian Friedrich

              Christian Friedrich shares about privacy and safety in online learning on episode 185 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

              Quotes from the episode

              Privacy and safety are not the same thing.

              —Christian Friedrich

              Safety and privacy usually are contextual.

              —Christian Friedrich

              Notes

              Nishant Shah:

              1. Making Safe (you look different, gender is different, so let’s invent something that prevents people like you from being harassed)
              2. Keeping Safe
              3. Being Safe
              4. Safeguarding
              5. Feeling Safe: agency, negotiation, making learners (and teachers) stakeholders in the creation of their own safety

                      Quotes from the episode

                      [divwrap class=”one-half first”]

                        Quotes from the episode

                        I always try to work with the learners themselves.

                        —Christian Friedrich

                        Lots of faculty fall into the trap of judging people’s contexts by looking at their own … that’s how we work as humans.

                        —Christian Friedrich

                        There are many layers where you cannot be “right” in your course design and where you have to make tough choices.
