    Not Just a Cup of Coffee: Why Mentoring Matters

    See our extended episode notes at https://www.centerforengagedlearning.org/not-just-a-cup-of-coffee-why-mentoring-matters/ In this kickoff to our new season, we explore the heart of mentorship in higher education. Guests Titch Madzima, Sabrina Perkins, and Maureen Vandermass-Peeler share personal stories of the mentors who shaped their paths and reflect on what mentoring really means beyond a casual conversation over coffee. Together, they discuss why mentoring is central to student and faculty success, the challenges institutions face in making it accessible, and why “mentoring constellations” may be the future of more inclusive and supportive academic communities. From authenticity and reciprocity to the barriers of availability and representation, this episode highlights how intentional mentoring can transform both individuals and institutions.

    AI as Friend or Foe in Computer Science: Part 2

    See our complete episode notes at https://www.centerforengagedlearning.org/ai-as-friend-or-foe-in-computer-science-2/. Last month, we talked with student guests about artificial intelligence use in their computer science education. This month, we continue the conversation with Robert Duvall (Duke University) and Nisha Talagala (AIClub and AIClubPro) who share professional and faculty wisdom about AI in the classroom and eventually the workplace. Robert and Nisha wrestle with the tension between product and process and share some ways that incorporating AI into even the introductory computer science curriculum will be essential in preparing future developers. We wrap with our guest, Ryan Mattfeld, Associate Professor of Computer Science at Elon University, to continue exploring how an unrestricted AI course could shift goals and outcomes for student learning. This episode was hosted and edited by Matt Wittstein and produced by Olivia Taylor in collaboration with the Elon University Center for Engaged Learning.

    AI as Friend or Foe in Computer Science: Part 1

    See our full episode notes at https://www.centerforengagedlearning.org/ai-as-friend-or-foe-in-computer-science/. The use of artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT has become the topic of serious discussion in higher education. Ryan Mattfeld, associate professor of computer science at Elon University, shares with us some of his challenges in the introductory computer science classroom and the potential negative effects AI has in training future computer scientists. He also asks what could be possible in a course where students have very few restrictions on AI use. In this first part of a two episode series, we explore student perspectives with Anna David, a first-year computer science and robotics student at Carnegie Mellon University, and graduating computer science major, Arav Patel, from the University of Maryland. Anna and Arav share insights about AI use, as well as ideas of what is really most important to students in early computer science courses. The conversation sets the stage to learn about the faculty perspective in our next episode. This episode was hosted by Matt Wittstein and produced by Matt Wittstein and the Elon University Center for Engaged Learning, with editing and production support by Olivia Taylor.  Episode art created by Matt Wittstein and Olivia Taylor.

    Deepening Engagement in a First-Year Seminar

    See our full episode notes at https://www.centerforengagedlearning.org/deepening-engagement-in-a-first-year-seminar/. The first-year seminar is a challenging, yet impactful, space to introduce habits of mind that lead to long-term student success. In this episode, Adam Keul, Associate Professor of Tourism and Hospitality Management at Plymouth State University, discusses how he employs democratic practices in his first-year seminar course. He hopes to instill the power of agency and advocacy within an educational context that will allow his students to be critical thinkers and engaged citizens. He’s found that his students seem to prefer being told what to do and not having choices in their own education. Our panel – Sophia Abbot from the University of Rhode Island, Riley Alkove, an Elon University first-year economics major, and Anine Kelly, from the University of Cincinnati – share ideas about how to form better personal connections with first year students and the implications of co-creation at an early developmental stage for college students. This episode was hosted by Matt Wittstein, edited by Olivia Taylor and Matt Wittstein, and produced by Olivia Taylor and Matt Wittstein in collaboration with the Elon University Center for Engaged Learning.

    Asynchronous, HyFlex, and Live, Oh My!

    See our full episode notes at https://www.centerforengagedlearning.org/asynchronous-hyflex-and-live-oh-my/ By necessity, ATI Physical Therapy uses elements of online, in-person, synchronous, and asynchronous learning in its residency programs. Jackie Davenport, Clinical Development Program Lead and Residency Director for ATI Physical therapy, is interested in learning more about developing her network of clinical educators to be prepared to create and sustain engagement with their students. asynchronous and how it could fit into the continuing education courses that ATI offers. Host Matt Wittstein shares Jackie’s context with Jesse Stommel from University of Denver, Dale Munday from the University of Central Lancashire, and Eric Mulford a senior Nursing major at Elon University. Their conversation considers different teaching modalities, hard versus soft rules (or policies versus social contracts) in the classroom, and how technology can be leveraged to enrich connection in this setting.
