Teaching in Higher Ed

Dave and Bonni have got a short announcement for you regarding a new Teaching in Higher Ed website coming in the next day or two and wanted to give you a heads up on a couple of potential impacts.

Quotes from the episode

Think of the expertise or supervision that you’re developing with AI through prompting as a verb rather than a noun. You’re constantly learning new moves and new techniques and shaping AI as it develops along with you.

-Anuj Gupta

If you try and do everything AI, you will never succeed. Find a newsletter that is collating information about what’s happening with AI in your fields.

-Anuj Gupta

We were interested in what kind of moves and maneuvers, strategies writers of generative AI prompts were actually enacting.

-Brian Gogan

When I think about keeping the human in the loop, I want to make sure that we are not handing those production processes off solely to machines, and the human needs a role in those production processes.

Gina Ann Garcia explores servingness, liberatory outcomes, and ways to teach Latine students across disciplines on episode 635 of Teaching in Higher Ed.

[divwrap class=”one-half first”]

Quotes from the episode

Most people argue that Hispanic-serving institutions are only Hispanic-serving, or Latino-enrolling, because they enroll a critical mass of Latinx students, but don’t change what they’re doing.

-Gina Ann Garcia

Students become more critically conscious in a classroom where they get to explore social, cultural, political history of themselves or other communities, and they become action-oriented; they want to do something about it.

-Gina Ann Garcia

This idea of saviorism is not, that’s not liberation, right? That’s not liberatory outcomes.

-Gina Ann Garcia

If you’re in a place where you can do a lot more of the small breakout active learning, like that just hits your students of color, your Latino communities differently, right? Learning in community.

-Gina Ann Garcia

Jane Hammons and Adrienne Warner examine outdated research notions, from Wikipedia to plagiarism, on episode 634 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

[divwrap class=”one-half first”]

Quotes from the episode

We can’t go through our lives or in the classroom thinking everything through with no heuristics, no shortcuts, no things that we can rely on credibly and reliably to take us to information that we do trust.

-Adrienne Warner

One of the outdated notions that we hear a lot and continue to hear at times is that Wikipedia is bad. And I think that it’s more nuanced than that, actually.

-Adrienne Warner

It’s less about saying any of these tools are better than the other, but that they have different uses, they have different values, they can all be a really valuable part of the research experience.

-Jane Hammons

If we’re expecting our students to engage with scholarly articles, they’re just not often going to have the background knowledge that is needed to be able to do that.

Beth Cougler Blom on how teaching and facilitation skills are built in life’s ordinary moments — noticing, saying hello first, and staying curious.

[divwrap class=”one-half first”]

Quotes from the episode

When you love what you do, you see it everywhere.

-Beth Cougler Blom

I’m here in Canada, and I’m on the West Coast, and there’s so many people learning here all the time about how to be living and working in a diverse community.

-Beth Cougler Blom

If we hone our noticing skills, then we can notice what’s going on with ourselves when we’re teaching.

-Beth Cougler Blom

When I make a mistake, often, I’ll tell the group, because that’s how we all learn too.
