In this episode of Faculty Feed, the hosts tackle the complex challenges and implications of generative AI in education, especially in how faculty assess learner understanding. With AI tools becoming widely accessible and highly capable—even able to mimic student voices and synthesize personalized reflections—traditional assessments like essays and asynchronous writing tasks are increasingly unreliable indicators of student comprehension and critical thinking. They emphasize the distinction between novice learners, who may blindly trust AI outputs, and experts who can critically evaluate them. They advocate for a fundamental rethinking of assessment design, encouraging educators to test their own assignments through AI to understand what learners might be doing. Without updating assessments to account for these tools, educators risk undermining both academic integrity and genuine learning.  Do you have comments or questions about Faculty Feed?

Ever felt like education was about memorising facts rather than genuinely exploring ideas? Ever thought play was something you left behind in childhood when, in reality, it should stay with you into adulthood? Well, you're not alone.Dr. Katrin Heimann joins us to explore play as an act of listening, care, and creative reconstruction. As a researcher and educator, Katrin challenges the sometimes rigid structures of academia and museums, advocating for spaces that foster agency, interaction, and playfulness. From unpacking the emotional layers of learning to reimagining institutions as places of joy and experimentation, Katrin chats about why play is personal and political.___________________LEGO Alert!Around the 42-minute mark, Katrin answers a question using LEGO.Katrin who?Katrin Heimann is trained in philosophy and cognitive neuroscience and has specialised in exploring the richness of humans' subjective experience using qualitative methods. She is one of the leading experts in the interview and analysis technique of micro-phenomenology, with which she has investigated an extensive range of experiences, especially those related to art, creativity, play, and learning. Currently, she holds the position of Assistant Professor at the Center for Educational Development at Aarhus University, where she researches and develops facilitation tools and resources for engaging and inclusive classrooms within academia.

In this discussion, Dr. Jerry Rabalais, Dr. Staci Saner, and Dr. Laura Weingartner from the HSC Office of Professional & Educational Development explore the clinician educator milestones—a competency-based framework introduced in 2022 by accrediting bodies like ACGME, AAMC, ACCME, and AACOM for assessing clinician educators. Spanning five levels from novice to expert, these milestones help educators evaluate key skills, knowledge, and behaviors across 20 sub-competencies. Not intended for accreditation (yet), these milestones can aid in self-assessment, peer review, and program development, prompting clinicians to reflect on their teaching abilities and set improvement goals. They discuss how they've integrated these milestones to identify gaps in health professions education, develop workshops, and provide targeted feedback. They encourage listeners to assess themselves against a chosen sub-competency and to read the milestone framework's introductory guidance for a structured self-evaluation, enhancing their self-directed learning and reflective practice as educators.  CEM Project CEM Supplemental Guide   Do you have comments or questions about Faculty Feed?

In this episode we welcome Dr. Kathleen Timme, MD, MEd to the show. Dr. Timme is a pediatric endocrinologist at the University of Utah, Co-Director of Educational Scholarship & Innovation for the Department of Pediatrics, GME Director of Educational Development, and Fellowship Program Director for Pediatric Endocrinology.  She loves medical education and hosts the "Teaching in Medicine" podcast.Tall, short or somewhere in-between, there seems to be a fascination with height in our communities. In this episode we tackle what is 'short stature'.  Your child is in on the shorter side. When should you be worried that there is something wrong with his or her growth? Can this just be normal? What does a medical work up look like? What diagnoses is my doctor considering when ordering these tests? When should I see a specialist like an Endocrinologist? Just because we can provide therapies to increase final height, should we? Does this make any meaningful difference in a child's ultimate happiness or success? 

Today's episode features Jovan Groen (Western University), Carolyn Ives (Thompson Rivers University), and Veronica (Roni) Bamber (Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh), who talk about their recent To Improve the Academy article, “Evidencing the value of educational development: Charting a course on the waves and winds of change,” which they wrote with coauthors Carolyn Hoessler (Thompson Rivers University), Corinne Laverty (Queen's University), and Klodiana Kolomitro (Queen's University). This international group traces its roots back to a Canadian group of educational developers. They wanted to keep working and writing together, and eventually invited in Roni Bamber from Scotland. Their piece provides a RUFDATA-inspired framework for evidencing the value of centers for teaching and learning.   This is the first episode of our new partnership between the journal and Centering Centers. We hope to pull back the curtain on the journal for our listeners, especially about our authors' research and experiences publishing in our journal.

Welcome to the inaugural episode of the ICED International Consortium for Educational Development podcast! Join us as we embark on a captivating journey into the intersection of artificial intelligence and human values with our distinguished guest, Professor Kasturi Behari-Leak. Professor Behari-Leak holds the esteemed position of Dean at Cape Town University and is a former President of ICED. In this episode, we'll explore the profound impact of AI on higher education and the ethical principles guiding this transformative evolution. Kasturi's message is a call for careful consideration – urging us not to rush headlong into technological advancements but to approach them with a keen awareness of human values. It's imperative that we engage in an ongoing dialogue with AI, avoiding the naivety of perceiving it as a benevolent guardian of our world. We must acknowledge that many systems are driven by financial and economic interests, and we cannot afford to disregard this fact. Hence, we should maintain a critical perspective, consistently questioning: "Is this a great idea? Who benefits from it, and who stands to lose?" Keeping these questions at the forefront of our discussions ensures that we navigate this journey with consciousness and a strong moral compass. So, let's dive right in!

In Canada, if you want to become a licensed doctor of medicine, you need to set aside at least 10-15 years. It's a four-year undergraduate degree, an acceptance into an accredited medical school and then four more years of study there. Then you study and take a licensing exam, followed by a residency which could last up to seven years, depending on your specialty. But if you attend MUN's Mini Med School, you can be a medical student for just five weeks. Okay, so you won't be a doctor after it - not even close - but you will have more knowledge about medical advancements and how they can affect your future. Vernon Curran is the Associate Dean of Educational Development and a professor of medical education with MUN's Faculty of Medicine.

Welcome to an episode with best-selling author, lawyer, and art historian, Amy Herman. Get Amy's book here: https://amzn.to/3R4z14s In this episode, Amy spoke about how art can renew our sense of vision and approach to problem solving. This method proves that everyone sees and interprets things differently, which shows that we need to become better communicators to solve our problems. She stressed that effective communication has a renewed significance now because we are communicating with our stakeholders in a virtual environment. For leaders of organizations, the most difficult thing for them to do is rethink their communication skills and make them as effective as they were before, which involves agility. Amy also spoke about confirmation bias – wherein people only hear what they want to hear – and how to realize that we are trapped in this way of looking at information. Building on the conversation, Amy spoke about well-known artists who reflect characteristics that a great leader can impersonate. Amy E. Herman is the founder and president of The Art of Perception, Inc., a New York-based organization that conducts professional development courses to leaders around the world, including at the FBI, CIA, Scotland Yard, and the Peace Corps. Herman was also the Director of Educational Development at Thirteen/WNET, the educational public television station serving New York and New Jersey, and the Head of Education at The Frick Collection for over ten years, where she oversaw all of the Collection's educational collaborations and community initiatives.  An art historian and attorney, Herman holds a BA in International Affairs from Lafayette College, a JD from the National Law Center at George Washington University, and an MA in Art History from Hunter College.

Contents Podcast Panelists Additional Resources Transcript These days, resilience is needed more than ever, and one simple, underrecognized way of supporting healthy and resilient child development is as old as humanity itself: play. Far from frivolous, play contributes to sturdy brain architecture, the foundations of lifelong health, and the building blocks of resilience, yet its importance is often overlooked. In this podcast, Dr. Jack Shonkoff explains the role of play in supporting resilience and five experts share their ideas and personal stories about applying the science of play in homes, communities, and crisis environments around the world. Panelists Andres Bustamante, Assistant Professor, University of California Irvine School of Education Laura Huerta Migus, Deputy Director, Office of Museum Services at Institute for Museum and Library Services Lynneth Solis, Researcher and lecturer at the Harvard Graduate School of Education Erum Mariam, Executive Director, BRAC Institute of Educational Development, BRAC University Michael Yogman, Pediatrician, Harvard Medical School, Cambridge Hospital Additional Resources Resources from the Center on the Developing Child Video: Play in Early Childhood: The Role of Play in Any Setting Video: How-to: 5 Steps for Brain-Building Serve and Return Handout: 5 Steps for Brain-Building Serve and Return Video: Building Babies' Brains Through Play: Mini Parenting Master Class (from UNICEF) Report: Three Principles to Improve Outcomes for Children and Families InBrief: The Science of Resilience Resources from Our Guests Panel Learning to Cope through Play UCI STEM Learning Lab Playful Learning Landscapes Understanding the Social Wellbeing Impacts of the Nation's Libraries and Museums Play in Humanitarian Settings 5 Takeaways from Supporting Refugee Parents to Help Children Learn and Thrive During Covid-19 BRAC Humanitarian Play Lab: when playing becomes healing BRAC: ECD and Play “I try to take their pain away through play”: A healing experiment in Rohingya refugee camps (Quartz: membership required) Prescription for Play The Power of Play: A Pediatric Role in Enhancing Development in Young Children Preventing Childhood Toxic Stress: Partnering with Families and Communities to Promote Relational Health Transcript Sally Pfitzer, host: Welcome to the Brain Architects, a podcast from the Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University. I'm your host, Sally Pfitzer. Our Center believes that advances in science can provide a powerful source of new ideas that can improve outcomes for children and families. We want to help you apply the science of early childhood development to your everyday interactions with children and take what you're hearing from our experts and panels and apply it to your everyday work. So in today's episode, we're going to get serious about the topic of play. For children, play is a fundamental building block of child development, but its role in supporting resilience is often overlooked. And after the past few years, we surely need resilience now more than ever! For me, as a former preschool teacher, I'm especially excited about this episode and speaking with today's experts, because I've seen first-hand how important play is for young children's development. But what can science tell us about it? And what can be done to support more play in everyday life, even in crisis contexts? In this podcast, we'll dive into the science of play and resilience, and then we'll explore how people are using that knowledge to support child development around the world. To explain the science, we'll start with Dr. Jack Shonkoff, Professor of Child Health and Development and the Director of the Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University. So Jack, what do we mean by resilience and what do we know about how people develop it?...

In this episode of the RISE Podcast, Carmen Belafi, RISE Research Associate at Oxford University's Blavatnik School of Government, speaks with Dr Ritva Reinikka. During the episode, they discuss the role that financing plays in education systems. Ritva shares her insights from having worked closely with the governments of Uganda and South Africa, and illustrates the crucial role that the Ministries of Finance have played in the transformation of education in both countries. She also talks about the importance of applying a system's approach to education, including not just the actors squarely within the education sector—the Ministry of Education, administrators, school principals and teachers—but the broader political and societal context in which the education sector operates.
