Memory and Creative Assessments

On episode 348 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast, Dr. Michelle D. Miller and host Bonni Stachowiak talked about memory and memorizing in higher education. I enjoyed the discussion about explaining to students that even though we can use Google, there are some things we should learn and be able to retrieve from memory. […]

Using Discord for Course Communication

Varun Singireddy and Kyle Bourcier from Ferris State University presented a detailed explanation and demo of the use of Discord for communication in courses. I had heard about Discord before and was interested in learning more about its capabilities. The presenters provided enough information for me to understand how Discord is useful and different from […]

Online Teaching: Comparing Synchronous and Asynchronous Delivery

I have wrestled with the advantages and limitations of both synchronous and asynchronous online teaching delivery. A year ago, the two terms did not come up too often. Now, I think about, read, and discuss these terms in the context of online teaching daily. I have also formed opinions and have tried to be open […]

Google Tools and Collaboration

Dr. Romena Holbert from Wright State University shared clever uses of Google Suite tools in a recorded 2020 Lilly Conference session. I watched it twice! Holbert began with research on collaboration and used a Google Jamboard to start an asynchronous discussion with participants. I enjoyed the step-by-step demo of Jamboard because I haven’t used it […]

Detailed Peer Evaluations in Team-based Learning

Dr. Marie Allsopp from Purdue University presented at the 2020 Lilly Conference online a recorded session that explained team-based learning (TBL) and peer evaluation in TBL. I’ve heard several presentations about TBL and yet still don’t have a good grasp of the logistics. The video Dr. Allsopp prayed from UT Austin described team selection and […]

Critical Digital Pedagogy is not new?!

We have been reading Critical Digital Pedagogy: A Collection by Morris, Stommel, and Friend out loud and to the kids for extra impact. I had honestly never realized what those three words, in combination, meant until reading a couple of essays in the collection. I nod often, agree, and stop to mention: why didn’t we […]

Carlos… speaks… slowly?

I finally did it. I watched our recorded presentation for the 2020 Lily Conference today. I recorded it in November in a single Zoom session with Deb and didn’t look back. I’ve been watching one or two recorded sessions each night and admiring the beautiful slides and thoughtful interactions presenters incorporated. I wondered: how long […]

Experiential Learning… Virtually

Dr. Laura Hunt Trull from James Madison University shared insights on teaching a grant writing course with significant experiential learning at the 2020 Lilly Conference. Hunt Trull began by introducing (for me, probably review for others familiar with experiential learning) National Society for Experiential Education (NSEE) Principles of Good Practice. There are eight principles: intention, […]

Access and Asking Appropriate Questions with ASK BIO’s Help

Today I attended the first session of SABER West. The town hall panel discussion was about inclusion and equity and planning conferences. It was really good to hear several considerations for meeting meetings ranging from noise-free areas and speaker training guides to colorblind friendly templates. One thing that really resonated with me and I hope […]
