    How to Think About Writing in the Age of AI, with John Warner

    John Warner shares about his latest book, More Than Words: How to Think About Writing in the Age of AI on episode 564 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast. Quotes from the episode If we treat the output of large language models as writing, as opposed to syntax generation, which is how I characterize it, then we're allowing the meaning of writing and the experience of writing to be degraded for humans. -John Warner Clearly, this is not feedback that is unique to human beings and unique to how we read. -John Warner There is no pivot for humanity. We're going to be humans whether we like it or not, and we are going to live our life through a series of experiences which convey some manner of meaning to ourselves. We still have to live. We still have to have a day to day experience of the world. We still have to have access to our own minds. We still have to relate to other people. This is the stuff of being human. -John Warner Every human is a unique intelligence. Developing a unique intelligence is a work of teaching and learning. And honoring that is the highest calling of a teacher. -John Warner Resources More Than Words: How to Think About Writing in the Age of AI, by John Warner The Writer’s Practice: Building Confidence in Your Nonfiction Writing, by John Warner The Six Million Dollar Man The Bionic Woman Emily M.

    Equip Students to Dialog Across Differences Using an AI Guide, with Simon Cullen and Nicholas DiBella

    Simon Cullen and Nicholas DiBella discuss how to equip students to dialog across differences using an AI Guide they’ve created on episode 560 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast. Quotes from the episode Most of my students have not heard cogent arguments on the other side of whatever their own position is because they've been so siloed. -Simon Cullen In every one of these classes the point is to try and confront students with the strongest arguments I can find, ideally for the thing they don't believe. -Simon Cullen The first thing they hear from me is if you wish to avoid the risk of being offended, then you should probably not be taking this class. -Simon Cullen In philosophy, we always embrace disagreement. -Nicholas DiBella We have designed the guide to be as neutral as possible. -Nicholas DiBella Resources Sway Website Experimental results Student feedback Transcripts of Real Chats From Students and Experimental participants Feedback From Students About Simon’s Dangerous Ideas Carnegie Mellon Course In Praise of Ignorance: To have a chance at solving our problems we must not condemn each other for openly stating our ignorance, by Simon Cullen Mike Caulfield’s SIFT Over or Under: We Asked a Physicist to End the World’s Great Toilet Paper Debate, by VICE Staff AI is Unavoidable, Not Inevitable, by Marc Watkins I want your attention.

    Cultivating Critical Teaching Behaviors, with Lauren Barbeau + Claudia Cornejo Happel

    Lauren Barbeau + Claudia Cornejo Happel discuss how to cultivate critical teaching behaviors on episode 559 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast. Quotes from the episode Being a good teacher or a good researcher is not something you're born with. It's something you learn. It's something you can get better at. -Lauren Barbeau Teaching doesn't fall into nice, neat color coded boxes. We need something that represents the complexity and the messiness and the way that behaviors overlap and might fall into more than one category. -Lauren Barbeau If we can't reflect on our teaching, we can't identify our strengths to start leveraging them, to start working on them. -Lauren Barbeau If you're looking for an entry point into critical teaching behaviors, start by reflecting on your teaching and take a look at the materials we've provided to help you do that. -Lauren Barbeau Be kind to yourself because some semesters are harder than others. -Lauren Barbeau It all comes back to caring about students, being transparent about what we're doing in the classroom, explaining our purpose, and involving them in the conversation that is the learning together in the classroom. -Claudia Cornejo Happel While there's no one thing that is more difficult than another, it really helps us to find a behavior that resonates with us and that we can use as a lens to think about our teaching more holistically. -Claudia Cornejo Happel Resources Critical Teaching Behaviors: Defining, Documenting, and Discussing Good Teaching, by Lauren Barbeau, Claudia Cornejo Happel Critical Teaching Behaviors Website Hand Mirror CamDesk Live Your Values Card Deck Lamy Fountain Pens Plain notebook A Man on the Inside

    How to Learn Students’ Names, with Michelle Miller

    Michelle Miller shares about her book, A Teacher's Guide to Learning Student Names: Why You Should, Why It's Hard, How You Can, on episode 558 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast. Quotes from the episode I think a lot of us kinda simmer in this little mindset of, everybody else can do this and I can't. -Michelle Miller We’ve all heard the old saying it’s the sweetest sound that anybody ever hears their own name. It elevates the conversation differently to be able to use names. -Michelle Miller The test isn't on how well you can recognize the name. The test is on how well you can say the names. That's what you need need to practice doing. -Michelle Miller Resources A Teacher’s Guide to Learning Student Names: Why You Should, Why It’s Hard, How You Can, by Michelle D.
