Carter Moulton shares about his Analog Inspiration (AI) card deck and human centered AI in the classroom on episode 593 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episode

I hope we don't abandon the decades of research that has shown the benefits of peer learning, of caring, belonging, and relationships in the classroom.

I'm here to talk a little bit about the Analog Inspiration card deck, which really is a professional development resource under the guise of a game.
-Carter Moulton

I wanted to create something that would bring faculty together and talk with each other and wrestle with these moral and ethical questions.
-Carter Moulton

Those three questions underneath at the bottom of the card are really just trying to foster that critical thinking with students about what it is they're making and what it is they're doing and how they're engaging with AI.

Barbara Oakley shares about her course, Speak Freely, Think Critically, and gives practical advice about teaching on episode 592 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episode

Learning is hard. Your job as a professor, as a teacher, is to help make it understandable, to help make it easier.

If you look at free speech from a historical and neuroscientific perspective, you can get a much better sense of people's motivations and the continuing patterns that we see through history of people being really pro free speech until it affects them.
-Barbara Oakley

Really intelligent people find it very hard to be flexible, to change their mind.

Rethinking Student Attendance Policies for Deeper Engagement and Learning

with Simon Cullen & Danny Oppenheimer

| | XFacebookLinkedInEmail

Simon Cullen + Danny Oppenheimer help us rethink student attendance policies toward deeper engagement and learning on episode 591 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episode

Students love being treated like adults. They love having choice. Everybody loves having choice. People don't like other people telling them what to do.

There's a lot of evidence that coming to class is one of the best things a student can do to facilitate their learning and performance in class.
-Danny Oppenheimer

You can make students attend, and most faculty do. They set attendance as mandatory. And then students attend and they learn because they attend. But they also hate you, and they hate the subject and they hate everything to do with the class.
-Danny Oppenheimer

If you give people choices, sometimes they make bad choices. Scaffolding choices can help people make choices that actually align with their preferences more effectively.
-Danny Oppenheimer

Students love being treated like adults. They love having choice. Everybody loves having choice. People don't like other people telling them what to do.
-Danny Oppenheimer

In some sense students have a preference to attend class. And in some sense they have a preference to not attend class. Those preferences can coexist in some way.

Mike Caulfield shares about using AI as a co-reasoning partner and his Deep Background tool on episode 590 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episode

Searching for information is a journey. How can we get the benefits of AI but still preserve that feeling of a journey?

Critical thinking problems with students turn out to be critical doing problems.
-Mike Caulfield

AI doesn't naturally think in terms of provenance, in terms of how it got this piece of information. It's a little bit of a bolt on afterthought.
-Mike Caulfield

Searching for information is a journey. How can we get the benefits of AI but still preserve that feeling of a journey?
-Mike Caulfield

I’m working on this issue of follow ups with AI. It is magic to get students to think of these responses as not a single transaction. They're coaching the AI through a process, not to get a specific answer that they want, but to look at the sorts of sources that matter for the question.
