If you follow the conversations about higher education on social media or in the news, a primary topic on people’s minds is the impact of artificial intelligence on the purposes and processes of an education. For better or worse, much of the focus has

Karen Costa describes learning to teach, design, and rest on episode 578 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast. Quotes from the episode Gardening is something I've tried and failed at many times. I don't know if it's something you can win or fail at.

Biomimicry Teaching & Learning Checklist This doc lives at: https://bit.ly/biomimicrychecklist This checklist has been prepared for higher educators as a tool to explore the concept of biomimicry, which is a design practice of learning from the natural world (of which humans are also a part). B...

AI is more than just ChatGPT. Hype around chatbots is distracting us from the really useful technologies which could change lives. In this article, I explore how LLM-based tech and other AI are being used as assistive technologies.

This collection provides introductory resources for new graduate teaching assistants in a variety of roles, including facilitating discussion or lab sections, holding office hours and review sessions, giving feedback to students, and grading student work.

This gallery contains collections of resources related to the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL).

What should we focus on as educators in this confusing, fast-changing landscape of AI in education? It can be tempting to focus on new tools, new approaches, new tricks - or perhaps lament over how much there is to get across. I was at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology yesterday at CPLAS25 (https://www.cplas25.hk/) and had the privilege of being able to chat with thoughtful educators like Dr. Jennifer Chang Wathall, Mike Sharples, Sean McMinn and others who all, in their own way, reflected that conversations around AI in education seem to consistently boil down to the humanity of education. When we focus on which new AI model to pick, or whether to do direct instruction or active learning, or how we're going to calibrate a team of 30 markers, or how to best plan for a problem-based learning exercise -- are we able to spend enough time thinking about what foundationally matters in education: relationships. While my random pyramid isn't anywhere near as meaningful as Maslow, I was left wondering if we collectively focus our energies chasing the higher levels of the pyramid but neglect the lower. AI, learning analytics, edtech, and the lot should be in service of thoughtful approaches to teaching, which should be done in consideration of the learning sciences that underpin how learning works, which should sit on top of a firm foundation of relationships and self-determination theory. For learning sciences, I really like Jason M. Lodge's recent series for AERO (e.g. https://lnkd.in/gc2ymWEz) as well as the Learning Scientists' resources (https://lnkd.in/gj_iDU_G). For relationships, you can't go past Peter Felten and Leo Lambert's Relationship Rich Education (https://lnkd.in/gBEdGweN). For motivation, Ryan and Deci's tried and true self-determination theory is my go-to (https://lnkd.in/guZawjam). There's nothing wrong with thinking about how we use AI tools for education, or about whether we use active learning or another strategy. But perhaps we need to remember to keep in mind the foundational levels of the pyramid to help our students thrive in this uncertain world. #AI #GenerativeAI #HigherEducation #Education #TeachingAndLearning | 48 comments on LinkedIn

Ungrading inspects the inequities of schooling, asks hard questions of the structures of our schools, and offers a critique of the labor conditions for teachers at all levels of education.

I think that too often when we talk about accessibility we don’t talk about teaching for equity and vice versa. I really appreciated the opportunity to talk about where these things intersect…

Retrieval practice doesn’t require more class prep for us or ChatGPT for our students. Here are 8 no-prep prompts for retrieval practice I’ve developed over my 10+ years of teaching. I’ve also included a variety of new resources I highly recommend.

U-M professors must design their flipped classes with greater emphasis on interactive in-person learning, shorter out-of-class lectures and better resources to ensure the success of all students. Otherwise, students will risk falling behind.

U.S. science is in turmoil. Amid agency firings and confusion over federal funding, researchers are freaking out. Many can’t do their work, and they have no idea what the future holds. Plus, we’re hearing that all of this could jeopardize medical treatments for people in the U.S. and all over the world. So, what exactly is going on? And how bad is it? We speak with Nature reporter Max Kozlov and Science magazine reporter Jocelyn Kaiser. Find our transcript here: bit.ly/ScienceVsWarOnScience  In this episode, we cover: (00:00) Scientists are freaked out (02:40) The chaos on government science websites (11:28) Firings and research funding freezes (18:09) Flagging words like women, Black and Latinx in grants (22:20) USAID cuts and vaccine concerns (27:04) What could be the motivation for all this? This episode was produced by Wendy Zukerman, with help from Meryl Horn, Rose Rimler, Michelle Dang and Ekedi Fausther-Keeys. We’re edited by Blythe Terrell. Mix and sound design by Bobby Lord. Music written by Emma Munger, Peter Leonard and Bobby Lord. Thanks to Lauren Silverman and Nimra Azmi. And thanks so much to all the scientists who shared their stories with us. We appreciate you.
