Quotes from the episode tag (full size, Center alignment) and any plain-text quotes, each followed by -Remi Kalir on its own line --> If you actually have students write about affirming values as a kind of open free write before they complete an evaluation of teaching, it actually has been shown to mitigate bias. -Remi Kalir There are many people who are experiencing the effects of these structural patterns of bias who don’t look like me. So what can I do?

David Perry shares about his new book, The Public Scholar, on episode 621 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast. Quotes from the episode Teaching is the most important form of public engagement that any of us do. -David Perry If we are really practiced at teaching, and as we develop our skills as teachers, those are the skills that can also take us into other spaces outside of the classroom. -David Perry Academia is structured around all kinds of failure. Once you recognize that, and then bring yourself into another context where you’re going to experience rejection, you already have the skills to cope with it. -David Perry I think all writers, and certainly in academia, worry a lot about our worst faith readers.

Lew Ludwig + Todd Zakrajsek uncover themes from The Science of Learning Meets AI on episode 619 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast. Quotes from the episode We could actually create an educational system. Not so that it deals with the problems we have with AI, but so that those problems are no longer relevant. -Todd Zakrajsek If you don’t have students attention, they can’t learn because if you don’t attend to something, you can’t learn it. -Todd Zakrajsek Keep in mind that you’re the expert. This is your assignment. You know what you’re doing, you know the content, so then you can judge what AI gives you, what works, and what still may need some work. -Lew Ludwig What this gets down to is backward design; we start with the learning goals. We should figure out how to assess them, and then decide if AI fits in that or not. -Lew Ludwig Resources The Science of Learning Meets AI: A Practical Faculty Guide to Purposeful Integration, Student Engagement, and Ethical Practice, by Lewis D.

And so I’m optimizing in a different way than I used to. -Teddy Svoronos I think there’s an analogy with these tools that I’ve been thinking of as cognitive debt, which is that as you offload to them, there are things that they’ll do that you won’t quite understand. -Teddy Svoronos Resources Agentic Everything: How the latest set of models changes things, by Teddy Svoronos Course Corrections: Redesigning my course for AI, by Teddy Svoronos Pray, Mr. Babbage, by Teddy Svoronos Episode 590: Deep Background – Using AI as a Co-Reasoning Partner with Mike Caulfield Episode 234: A New Lens for Learning Outcomes with Maria Andersen José Antonio Bowen’s AI Detector False Positive Calculator Episode 605: Teaching with AI – The Good, the Bad, the Ugly, and the Future with José Bowen MacWhisper The Checklist Manifesto, by Atul Gawande
