    [Episode 27] AI for Educators @ SLU: What, how, and why?

    [Episode 27] AI for Educators @ SLU: What, how, and why? In this episode of EDUtalks, Educational Developers Minha Park and Matt Low are interviewed about their role in developing SLU’s AI for Educators project. Why has SLU decided to invest in teachers’ knowledge and skills in using AI tools in teaching, and what are some of the challenges and advantages of teaching in higher education at a time when technology is developing faster than many of us can keep up with? Also, are the questions that we ask ourselves when using AI tools actually new, or are they perhaps updated kinds of recurring questions that face the higher education community from time to time? Participants: Minha Park, EPU                     Matt Low, EPU                     Alexandra D´Urso, EPU (This episode was recorded in English.)   AI for Educators @ SLU: Vad, hur och varför? I detta avsnitt av EDUtalks intervjuas pedagogiska utveckare Minha Park och Matt Low om sin roll i utvecklingen av SLU:s projekt AI for Educators. Varför har SLU bestämt att investera i lärares kunskap och färdigheter i att använda AI-verktyg i undervisningen, och vilka är några av utmaningarna och fördelarna med undervisning inom högre utbildning i en tid då tekniken utvecklas snabbare än många av oss kan hänga med? Är frågorna vi ställer oss själva när vi använder AI-verktyg faktiskt nya, eller är de kanske uppdaterade typer av återkommande frågor som universitetsvärlden möter då och då? Medverkande: Minha Park, EPU                         Matt Low, EPU                         Alexandra D´Urso, EPU (Det här avsnittet spelades in på engelska.)

    [Episode 24] Lifelong learning through mentorship

    [Episode 24] Lifelong learning through mentorship: How PhD student initiatives can foster intercultural exchange and provide support to undergraduate students The episode is in English. In episode 24, we meet Paninga Muiliya, a PhD student in Chemistry at Michigan State University, a GCUA partner university. Originally from Nigeria, Paninga has long been driven by an interest in creating intercultural exchange opportunities that benefit students’ development and interest in contributing to society. With encouragement from a professor, Paninga started an international mentor network where eighteen PhD students have mentored undergraduate students. During the conversation, we discuss the importance of academic leadership no matter where you are in your educational journey, why it is important for PhD students to receive support to start their own initiatives, and how mentoring can promote both individual and community development. The episode is in English.  Alexandra D’Urso: Pedagogical Developer at the Unit for Educational Development  Paninga Muiliya: PhD student in Chemistry and founder, Pannyword Foundation   [Avsnitt 24] Livslångt lärande genom mentorskap: Hur doktoranders initiativ kan främja interkulturellt utbyte och ge stöd till studenter på grundnivå I avsnitt 24 träffare vi Paninga Muiliya, doktorand i kemi vid Michigan State University, ett GCUA partneruniversitet. Ursprungligen från Nigeria, Paninga har länge drivits av ett intresse att skapa interkulturella utbytesmöjligheter som gynnar elevers och studenters utveckling och intresse att bidra till samhället. Med uppmuntran från en professor, Paninga startade ett internationellt nätverk där 18 doktorander har varit mentorer till studenter på grundnivå. Under samtalet diskuterar vikten av akademiskt ledarskap oavsett var man befinner sig i ens utbildningsresa, varför det är viktigt för doktorander att få stöd att starta egna initiativ och hur mentorskap kan framja själv- och samhällsutveckling.

    [Episode 22] Imagining new possibilities for dialogue and critical reflection in education programs

    Episode 22: “Imagining new possibilities for dialogue and critical reflection in education programs”   This episode of EDUtalks explores the benefits and challenges of teaching critical thinking in higher education from the perspectives of SLU teacher György Ängelkott Bocz and Educational Developer Alexandra D’Urso. The idea for this episode came about when discussing perspectives on course literature and assignments in the EPU course “Educating for critical thinking and criticality”. During the conversation, we consider how different educational norms, traditions, and environments can impact the possibilities of supporting the teaching of critical thinking. We also reflect upon the different conditions that might support or challenge the possibility to practice, develop, and teach critical thinking, both inside and outside of the university.   György Ängelkott Bocz: entreprenör och adjunkt vid Institutionen för biosystem och teknologi, SLU Alnarp Alexandra D’Urso: Educational Developer at SLU

    [Episode 21] MOOC: Knowledge Without Borders – with Dimitris Athanassiadis

    [Episode 21] MOOC: Knowledge Without Borders – with Dimitris Athanassiadis In this episode of EDUtalks, we discuss how MOOCs- Massive Open Online Courses- can be used to share relevant information with a broader audience beyond our own university. The SLU MOOC “Why choose wood for your next construction project?” has been developed by SLU teachers under the leadership our SLU colleague, Associate Professor Dimitris Athanassiadis, Department of Forest Biomaterials and Technology, who is the guest in this episode. Some questions we discuss are how one can plan a MOOC for a broad group of participants with different experiences and views, and how MOOCs can be useful for not only a wide array of external participants, but also even for diverse target groups within our own university.
