Quotes from the episode


I've had students share with me in the past that they were considering dropping the class, and then they got that welcome email, and they thought, okay, this time, it's going to be different.
-Teresa Thompson

My syllabus was all Barbie themed. In the semester before that, it was Pokemon themed. Semester before that was Stranger Things themed.
-Teresa Thompson

I don't want their first impression of me to be me quickly cleaning the board or freaking out because I can't find a whiteboard marker that works. I want them to see me calm and ready and happy to greet them as they walk in.

We have to recognize that our students have a lot going on. Sometimes, even despite their best intention, they may not be able to be a 100% attentive in our classroom.

Quotes from the episode


A lot of play science comes down to being a safe space to learn from each other, to see how people respond to what you put out there in the world without it being this critical life or death situation.
-Andrew Cross

People disproportionately remember experiences based on both the peaks and the valleys, and then also the ending experience.
-Andrew Cross

Encourage students to freely explore the content on their own. Sometimes that's content, sometimes it's a physical space. Turn them loose to go off and find something that they find interesting, a little bit of free choice learning.
-Andrew Cross

Status quo is our enemy too often.

Josh Eyler helps us cultivate hope and action beyond grades on episode 534 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episode


Teachers, instructors, educators at all levels can really work with students to find elements of what we are teaching that those students find individually interesting.
-Josh Eyler

We can help them learn how to ask questions that are meaningful to them, how to really dig in and find ways that the content becomes meaningful to who they are as people.
-Josh Eyler

We're in another period of significant grading reform right now, fueled, I believe, by mass communication and social media. People are now able to connect in ways that in previous eras of grading reform, they were not able to.

Josh Eyler shares even more problems with grades on episode 533 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episode


Being a dad who is an educator takes things from the academic and intellectual and brings them immediately to the surface, to the real world and to the real consequences for students and families.
-Josh Eyler

The conflict between what we think and what we value and what we want for our kids and what the world and our school systems say are important can sometimes be almost irreconcilable.
-Josh Eyler

We need to create environments that will cultivate intrinsic motivation.
-Josh Eyler

In situations where grades are given, students tend to be more fearful of making mistakes. They produce more behaviors of trying to get the grade rather than learning.
-Josh Eyler

Grades are not objective accurate measurements of learning according to this research.
-Josh Eyler

If grades don't measure what they're supposed to measure, why are we using them, and why are we putting so much pressure on them?

Quotes from the episode


We were never really trained to have these difficult conversations. We were not really trained as instructors to facilitate these conversations.
-Mylien Duong

It is not realistic to not prepare our students to be civically engaged and be able to engage and work with people who are different from them who don't share the same beliefs that they do.
-Mylien Duong

My goal is to help students to fully understand students, to help them clarify their own thinking, and to ensure and to help them communicate that to the rest of the class.

Jason Lodge discusses assessment reform for the age of artificial intelligence on episode 528 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episode


Where does the capability of AI end and where does the impact of the teacher start?
-Jason Lodge

Our tendencies as teachers and the way that we wanted to teach was clashing with the way that the lesson plan had been structured by Chat GPT.
-Jason Lodge

We don't know where we're headed, but at least we can have a sense of what the direction might be.
-Jason Lodge

We have to get to the point where we stop looking for evidence that students are using these tools to cheat and shift our emphasis to looking for evidence that learning has occurred.
-Jason Lodge

It's less about the technology and more about the human, how we learn and how we understand ourselves.
-Jason Lodge

Small things can add up to make a huge difference.
-Jason Lodge

Amira Barger shares four common arguments against DEI and how to dismantle them on episode 525 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episode


Many people who are at the margins often know from lived experience that the playing field is not level, and that there are biases that leaders and individuals across any and every institution have to mitigate.
-Amira Barger

Many people tend to view the work of diversity, equity, and inclusion as this sort of a 0 sum game. That idea of we're lifting someone else up means you have to push or bring someone else down. And that's not at all what we're trying to do this work.
-Amira Barger

It really is about leveling the playing field. It's not about taking things away, but it's about understanding.
-Amira Barger

What are you creating so that others can see themselves represented in the spaces they're in with you?
-Amira Barger

I try to very intentionally surround myself with people who believe and think differently than I do so that I can understand where they are coming from.
-Amira Barger

Judith Dutill talks about communication literacy in the age of AI on episode 523 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episode


In the college classroom, we don't often emphasize that type of communication as a skill that's worth teaching, talking about, assessing, and we focus instead on more formal types of communication.
-Judith Dutill

Communication is a very subjective thing, but I think there is a common definition that we could all agree on that effective communication is creating meaning and being understood.
-Judith Dutill

As we develop in higher education, many of us believe in multiple literacies.

Quotes from the episode


It is hard for students to accurately think about what their learning process looked like.
-Clarissa Sorensen Unruh

Not only is the system rigged for a certain dominant group, but it is purposefully sabotaging some groups.
-Clarissa Sorensen Unruh

The unfortunate thing about intersectionality is that once you start seeing the power lenses, you can never go back to not seeing the power lenses.

Quotes from the episode

-Leon Furze

For me, brainstorming, idea generation, drafting, all of that is far more important than the finished product itself.
-Leon Furze

If we're going to accuse students of cheating and then allow professors or or educators to use the technology for assessments, that's hypocritical, and probably quite condescending.

You must use AI as a starting point in the real world.

David Clark discusses using alternative grading practices to foster student learning on episode 511 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episode


Does this represent what I really care about?
-David Clark

Most of us are used to giving feedback in some way, but making it helpful is the tough part.
-David Clark

A reassessment always needs some reflective parts, some metacognition, because that's part of the feedback loop.
-David Clark

People aren't going to remember everything that they've learned in our classes for all time.
-David Clark

As soon as there's a grade assigned, students tend to lose the intrinsic motivation they might have to learn these things and focus entirely on that extrinsic grade aspect.

Robert Talbert shares about the principles of grading for growth on episode 510 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episode


In one shot, she can't get a B in the class. And I sat there and just watched her sense of self worth and her excitement in the class just decay away right before my eyes.
-Robert Talbert

When you look at grades as we often use them in a traditional setting, they are much of what we do is under the guise of object what we think is objectivity.
-Robert Talbert

The biggest thing that's broken about grades is that traditional grading is completely disconnected from the notion of a feedback loop.
-Robert Talbert

Give helpful feedback that doesn't humiliate the student, affirms their basic dignity as a human being, and highlights what went well. Helpful feedback also highlights what could use some work and invites students to collaborate with you to make it better.
-Robert Talbert

Reattempts without penalty, that's the closing of the feedback loop.
-Robert Talbert

Points used for grades are a judgment call that results in a label.
-Robert Talbert

The keyword through all 3 steps is alignment.

I don't think the structure necessarily guarantees success because it's the students ultimately have to put the work in to earn that grade, to earn that outcome.

Quotes from the episode

Quotes from the episode


As we deal with our local contexts, we adjust according to the culture of the people and how they learn.
-Leni Casimiro

Eventually I went to study and get a degree in about online education, then it really became a part of who I am today as an educator.
-Safary Wa-Mbaleka

The definition of online education is much more expanded, especially with a lot of the tools that are available today that facilitate collaboration.
-Safary Wa-Mbaleka

I believe that artificial intelligence is going to challenge everything that we knew about online education because at this point you can do a lot of things that we have no control over.

Will Hennessy shares about fostering neurodivergent learners’ growth on episode 499 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episode


Tourette syndrome is a neurological disorder characterized by involuntary, internal and external tics that occur repeatedly in the same way. OCD is a neurological disorder that causes problems with information processing.
-Will Hennessy

I honestly thought that I just wasn't as smart as my peers, that I just needed to try harder, or that one day, I guess, it would just kinda all click in my brain. Now, obviously, I know that's not the case now, but that's kind of where I was at.
-Will Hennessy

I want to create inclusive learning environments for neurodivergent learners and introverts, students like me.
-Will Hennessy

Structure is incredibly important for neurodivergent learners. Even though we're implementing flexibility and choice, it doesn't necessarily mean that it has to be a free for all where students can just do whatever they want, that could actually hinder learning.
-Will Hennessy

Neurodivergent learners need structure. All learners need need structure.

It's so valuable to be around diverse folks, folks who are different from you, but it's so important to also be in with like-minded folks, folks who look like you, folks who have similar beliefs because that can be reinforcing of who you are and to let you know that you are enough.
-Ijeoma Nwaogu

Presence is far more important than someone's performance.

Jenae Cohn speaks about design for learning on episode 486 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episode


At the core of any class we're teaching, we have to think about how a student or a user is going to navigate through that experience.
-Jenae Cohn

Quotes from the episode


For us to be talking about something like unlearning or ungrading, there's an irony in that because we are the people who need to do that work the most and the people for whom that work is probably the hardest.
-Jesse Stommel

The only wrong way to do something is to do it unintentionally, to do it in a way that isn't carefully thinking through what we're doing.

Quotes from the episode
