    Writing and Rhetoric Studies in the Loop, with Anuj Gupta and Brian Gogan

    Anuj Gupta and Brian Gogan explore the GenAI prompt as a rhetorical genre and keeping writers in the loop on episode 636 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast. [divwrap class=”one-half first”] Quotes from the episode tag (full size, Center alignment) and any plain-text quotes, each followed by -[GUEST FULL NAME] on its own line --> Think of the expertise or supervision that you’re developing with AI through prompting as a verb rather than a noun. You’re constantly learning new moves and new techniques and shaping AI as it develops along with you. -Anuj Gupta If you try and do everything AI, you will never succeed. Find a newsletter that is collating information about what’s happening with AI in your fields. -Anuj Gupta We were interested in what kind of moves and maneuvers, strategies writers of generative AI prompts were actually enacting. -Brian Gogan When I think about keeping the human in the loop, I want to make sure that we are not handing those production processes off solely to machines, and the human needs a role in those production processes. -Brian Gogan [/divwrap] [divwrap class=”one-half”] Resources Writing and Rhetoric Studies in the Loop: A GenAI Prompt Library, edited by Anuj Gupta and Brian Gogan Anuj Gupta, University of South Florida Brian J.

    Servingness and Liberatory Teaching, with Gina Ann Garcia

    Gina Ann Garcia explores servingness, liberatory outcomes, and ways to teach Latine students across disciplines on episode 635 of Teaching in Higher Ed. [divwrap class=”one-half first”] Quotes from the episode tag (full size, Center alignment) and any plain-text quotes, each followed by -Gina Ann Garcia on its own line --> Most people argue that Hispanic-serving institutions are only Hispanic-serving, or Latino-enrolling, because they enroll a critical mass of Latinx students, but don’t change what they’re doing. -Gina Ann Garcia Students become more critically conscious in a classroom where they get to explore social, cultural, political history of themselves or other communities, and they become action-oriented; they want to do something about it. -Gina Ann Garcia This idea of saviorism is not, that’s not liberation, right? That’s not liberatory outcomes. -Gina Ann Garcia If you’re in a place where you can do a lot more of the small breakout active learning, like that just hits your students of color, your Latino communities differently, right?

    Outdated Research Notions, with Jane Hammons and Adrienne Warner

    Jane Hammons and Adrienne Warner examine outdated research notions, from Wikipedia to plagiarism, on episode 634 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast. [divwrap class=”one-half first”] Quotes from the episode tag (full size, Center alignment) and any plain-text quotes, each followed by -[GUEST FULL NAME] on its own line --> We can’t go through our lives or in the classroom thinking everything through with no heuristics, no shortcuts, no things that we can rely on credibly and reliably to take us to information that we do trust. -Adrienne Warner One of the outdated notions that we hear a lot and continue to hear at times is that Wikipedia is bad. And I think that it’s more nuanced than that, actually. -Adrienne Warner It’s less about saying any of these tools are better than the other, but that they have different uses, they have different values, they can all be a really valuable part of the research experience. -Jane Hammons If we’re expecting our students to engage with scholarly articles, they’re just not often going to have the background knowledge that is needed to be able to do that. -Jane Hammons [/divwrap][divwrap class=”one-half”] Resources Educating for Misunderstanding: How Approaches to Teaching Digital Literacy Make Students Susceptible to Scammers, Rogues, Bad Actors, and Hate Mongers by Wineburg and colleagues Outdated Notion: Teaching Plagiarism as Theft Outdated Notions: Teaching Scholarly Articles as the Gold Standard Identifying Outdated Research Notions Outdated Notions Slides Poll Everywhere WhatCable Fire Weather by John Vaillant The Vaster Wilds by Lauren Groff [/divwrap]

We can’t just assume it… Every generation, we have to kind of rebirth it, and it has to happen in our schools. -Bethany Morrison One of the principles that we often recommend is setting some community discussion guidelines, talking together as a classroom community about how we want things to go when those hot moments come up later. -Bethany Morrison Not saying anything has meaning too. So if you don’t say anything, you are making a decision, and students are going to read that to mean it was okay. -Bethany Morrison [/divwrap][divwrap class=”one-half”] Resources Promoting Democracy, Fostering Skills (Bethany Morrison, CRLT Substack) Selecting Classroom Activities for Promoting Democracy (Bethany Morrison, CRLT Substack) Promoting Democracy Teaching Series (Ginsberg Center) How My Profession Influences Policy: Assignment Guide and Instructions A Framework for Planning and Facilitating High-Stakes Discussions Making the Most of “Hot Moments” in the Classroom (CRLT Handout) Talking Maize & Blue (University of Michigan) Center for Research on Learning and Teaching (CRLT) Ginsberg Center for Community and Civic Engagement Dignity: Its Essential Role in Resolving Conflict, by Donna Hicks UMICH Votes AllSides Finch [/divwrap]
