Jeff Young shares clips from his Learning Curve Podcast regarding AI in higher education on episode 598 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episode

I've been really interested in how students are thinking through AI and where their perspectives are. There is not one student view. You can find students that think all kinds of things.

It is crazy to think of how much we've all learned about generative AI just in the last couple years.

-Jeff Young

Students are very aware of AI and they're also very aware of how it's changing the job market that they might enter.
-Jeff Young

One danger of these tools is that they give you such instant gratification. There's a hit of dopamine.

Continue to learn, reflect, and keep moving. Go somewhere.

A lot of you have been asking me about this game that I've played now and facilitated at over 10 universities and conferences called Go Somewhere.
-Bonni Stachowiak

What the game allows people to do is to be a little bit playful, laugh, and smile as we explore very serious things.
-Bonni Stachowiak

It can be helpful to have a map when we think about all of the different ways that artificial intelligence might impact our teaching.
-Bonni Stachowiak

The other issue that comes up a lot as we start talking about artificial intelligence is how often it bumps up against our sense of identity.

with Clarissa Sorensen-Unruh & Christy Albright

| | XFacebookLinkedInEmail

Christy Albright + Clarissa Sorensen Unruh share about teaching, learning, and the lessons of grief on episode 596 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episode

The big griefs in my life stay forever.

Take two deep breaths.
-Clarissa Sorensen Unruh

None of the books that I researched on grief actually defined grief. It's like they just assumed you knew what it was because it's such a universal experience, but it's not universally experienced by everybody in the same way.
-Christy Albright

Anticipatory grief is when you know something is coming and you're already grieving that situation.
-Christy Albright

People assume that grief gets smaller, and actually we grow around it.
-Clarissa Sorensen Unruh

The big griefs in my life stay forever.

| | XFacebookLinkedInEmail

Roberta Hawkins + Leslie Kern share about their book, Higher Expectations: How to Survive Academia, Make it Better for Others, and Transform the University on episode 595 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episode

We are not cogs in an institutional machine.

We advise lots of different ways of rethinking our relationship with work in the book.
-Roberta Hawkins

You can’t solve institutional problems with individual sacrifices.
-Leslie Kern

We are not cogs in an institutional machine.
-Roberta Hawkins

One of the challenges, is the idea that our work is kind of a calling. It's a passion project. The institution knows that we love our work and that we are passionate about our students and that we care about bringing great ideas to fruition in the world, so it will extract every little drop of that from you in terms of your time and energy.
-Leslie Kern

Invisibilized labor is an equity issue as well as a workload issue.
