  • Janice McCabe shares her research on campus loneliness and college friendship networks on episode 627 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

    Quotes from the episode

    The previous surgeon general, among others, have declared a loneliness crisis facing the United States, and, in fact, the highest rates are among young adults.
    -Janice McCabe

    Many people that I interviewed told me how they felt like everyone else either had more friends than them, had better friends than them, was having more fun than them, along those lines.
    -Janice McCabe

    Something I hear from students a lot is just this appreciation for taking friendship seriously in students’ lives. And so that’s something that professors, teachers, college administrators can do.
    -Janice McCabe

    Students often say they don’t really like group projects, but then, that was a place that many of the friendships that formed in classes that I saw formed.

  • Jeanie Tietjen unpacks trauma-informed practices in higher ed and why naming itself is a form of teaching on episode 626 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

    Quotes from the episode

    Naming goes so far back in, even just in literary terms, the importance of naming.
    -Jeanie Tietjen

    There is still a very nascent and as yet relatively unarticulated understanding of how profoundly trauma, adversity, and violence adversely affect teaching and learning.
    -Jeanie Tietjen

    Many students have experienced traumas that are situated in educational settings, bullying experiences that are identity-based, that profoundly shape how they feel about the educational setting as a place.
    -Jeanie Tietjen

    Learning is very vulnerable. It involves being wrong, failing, failing in front of other people.

  • Malini Johar Schueller unpacks critical race reading and the role of discomfort in the classroom on episode 625 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

    Quotes from the episode

    Racism is a permanent structural feature of American society, and law alone, as now we have it, cannot deal with racism because racism is also part of law.
    -Malini Johar Schueller

    Critical race reading takes off from that, and it asks, is there a way of reading… that can awaken us to questions of racial privilege and hierarchy, but without us imagining that we have taken over somebody’s place?
    -Malini Johar Schueller

    Critical empathy, where you feel for others and you feel the injustice of others, but you also feel differently, you know, differently.
    -Malini Johar Schueller

    Some level of discomfort is fine for learning, because if learning doesn’t produce any kind of discomfort, you haven’t moved outside your zone of what you already know.

  • Denise Maduli-Williams shares how to engage learners in online courses on episode 624 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

    Quotes from the episode

    The very first thing I saw was the online instructor posting this video where she was roller skating in this roller Derby rink and welcoming us online, and that just changed everything for me.
    -Denise Maduli-Williams

    When we design with accessibility in mind, we support everyone, all students.
    -Denise Maduli-Williams

    Students who are quieter, whether it’s synchronous on Zoom or synchronous in person, they have the opportunity to participate when they’re ready and to prepare.

  • Rebecca Fordon unpacks vibe coding and the eight AI teaching tools she built in a single semester on episode 623 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

    Quotes from the episode

    Vibe coding, I think of being able to describe the kind of application or website that you want in just words, a narrative, rather than having to code it, knowing coding language.
    -Rebecca Fordon

    I think the easiest place to start is in ChatGPT, or Gemini, or Claude Code.
    -Rebecca Fordon

    Many of my students have not used it for anything related to law school. Until they get into my class, and then they see there actually are some good, legitimate uses.
    -Rebecca Fordon

    If you want to mess with things on your own, you can really just ask AI: How do I do that? Where should I look?

  • Jennifer Wallace shares about her book, Mattering: The Secret to a Life of Deep Connection and Purpose on episode 622 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

    Quotes from the episode

    Mattering says you belong at the table, but it goes even further, and it says you would be missed if you weren’t here. You are adding value, and we would notice if you weren’t here.
    -Jennifer Wallace

    We have so much input and so much output being demanded of us today that often we go through life on autopilot.
    -Jennifer Wallace

    Mattering is not another thing to add to your to-do list. Mattering is a way of looking at your to-do list.

    When you look at the data on what drives performance, it is engagement. And what drives engagement is mattering.

  • David Perry shares about his new book, The Public Scholar, on episode 621 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

    Quotes from the episode


    Teaching is the most important form of public engagement that any of us do.
    -David Perry

    If we are really practiced at teaching, and as we develop our skills as teachers, those are the skills that can also take us into other spaces outside of the classroom.
    -David Perry

    Academia is structured around all kinds of failure. Once you recognize that, and then bring yourself into another context where you’re going to experience rejection, you already have the skills to cope with it.
    -David Perry

    I think all writers, and certainly in academia, worry a lot about our worst faith readers. How do we not get ripped apart? You have to write for your best faith reader. You have to really shift your focus.

  • Flower Darby shares about being a joyful online teacher on episode 620 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

    Quotes from the episode

    Higher education doesn’t do a great job of preparing faculty to teach, generally speaking, that’s not new, but especially online teaching.
    -Flower Darby

    If you’re not a meme person, don’t do that. Something that isn’t authentic to your personality is not going to be effective.
    -Flower Darby

    Sometimes you don’t need all the latest bells and whistles; you don’t need the latest iPhone. We can be effective with simpler tools.

  • Lew Ludwig + Todd Zakrajsek uncover themes from The Science of Learning Meets AI on episode 619 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

    Quotes from the episode

    We could actually create an educational system. Not so that it deals with the problems we have with AI, but so that those problems are no longer relevant.
    -Todd Zakrajsek

    If you don’t have students attention, they can’t learn because if you don’t attend to something, you can’t learn it.
    -Todd Zakrajsek

    Keep in mind that you’re the expert. This is your assignment. You know what you’re doing, you know the content, so then you can judge what AI gives you, what works, and what still may need some work.
    -Lew Ludwig

    What this gets down to is backward design; we start with the learning goals. We should figure out how to assess them, and then decide if AI fits in that or not.

  • Norma Montague shares of her experiences going from awareness to action, interrupting bias in the classroom on episode 618 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

    Quotes from the episode

    One thing that my work on inclusive teaching focuses on, is really being able to understand your learner’s motivations.
    -Norma Montague

    One of the ideas that I learned from a colleague who had recommended a book was the idea of rebranding office hours as student hours.
    -Norma Montague

    I think it’s important to help students understand what those student hours are for and how they can get the most out of them.
    -Norma Montague

    When students feel safe in the classroom, then they’re going to contribute, invest. That’s when I find that I can really increase their rigor and challenge them more.

  • Teddy Svoronos describes how today’s agentic AI changes what and how we teach on episode 617 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

    Quotes from the episode

    An AI agent is an LLM that runs tools in a loop to achieve a goal.
    -Teddy quoting Simon Willison’s definition

    The process of having a task, write a report, use a tool, web search, and do it over and over again until you feel like you’ve gotten the full sort of spectrum of things—that I think is what an agent really is.
    -Teddy Svoronos

    These LLMs are now becoming like this intermediary between me and the actual content. And so I’m optimizing in a different way than I used to.
    -Teddy Svoronos

    I think there’s an analogy with these tools that I’ve been thinking of as cognitive debt, which is that as you offload to them, there are things that they’ll do that you won’t quite understand.

    -Nancy Chick

    What I usually say when I speak to colleagues and academics who are sort of starting a SOTL journey is to start small, small steps, and whatever is a low threshold.

  • Marc Watkins shares about cultivating skepticism and curiosity in an age of AI on Episode 613 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

    Quotes from the episode

    I do think online education is going to be the focal point for this next year, and how it can survive with an agentic AI. My feeling is, we need to be offering students more embodied experiences and disembodied spaces.
    -Marc Watkins

    Every technology has its affordances and the things that are negative about it too; your cell phone, the computer, the fact we’re talking about this right now on the systems that we are using, cloud computing, that all has a cost.
    -Marc Watkins

    For an incoming freshman student in college to take 4 or 5 classes and have 4 or 5 very different AI policies, 4 or 5 very different understandings of what AI is, it is incredibly confusing.
