    Being Human in the Classroom with Joe Creamer, Lecturer in Writing and Critical Inquiry

    Transcript available here. Today on the podcast, Joe Creamer tells us the story of how he came to understand his students in his Writing and Critical Inquiry courses more fully. Joe’s discoveries led him to team-based learning, a highly reflective teaching practice, and labor-based grading. The balance of higher structure and greater student choice has allowed both him and his students to experience vulnerability, joy, community, and the reflection that, as Joe says, “develops us as humans.”   Producers: Billie Franchini, Aviva Bower, Nyssa Knarvik Host: Aviva Bower Editor: Nyssa Knarvik Music: Ursula Wolfe For more teaching resources, visit our website.

    Teaching & AI with Marc Watkins, University of Mississippi

    Today on the podcast, we speak with Marc Watkins, director of the AI Institute for Teachers and an Assistant Director of Academic Innovation at the University of Mississippi, where he is a Lecturer in Writing and Rhetoric. His writing on AI appears in the Chronicle of Higher Education and in his Substack Rhetorica. He suggests that institutions of higher education need to slow down and make spaces where faculty and students can reflect on how AI is affecting us; and he shares his deep concern that AI is removing what he calls the friction that is an essential element in learning.   For more teaching resources, visit our⁠ website⁠.
