And I feel like a lot of times students sign up for all these accounts without reading the terms of service, without reading the privacy policy, without thinking about the data that we're giving over, and without thinking about how that data could be used by a company.
-Autumm Caines

In a world of AI, it is becoming more important to be able to be more critical about the information that's coming to us and to have better tools available to sort out the truth from the fiction or fictionalized.

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

Quotes from the episode

Neurodivergent learners need structure. All learners need need structure.

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.
