Connect with our guest: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mkassorla/ Takeaways Teaching AI literacy is crucial in higher education to help students understand the limitations and biases of AI models. AI can be used to support the writing process by providing feedback on grammar and punctuation, generating topic ideas, and assisting with research. Assessment should focus on voice, tone, audience, transparency, and accuracy rather than traditional grammar and punctuation. AI can free up time for teachers to focus on higher-order thinking skills and creative aspects of writing. Developing AI literacy standards for higher education can help guide educators in teaching AI effectively. Thank you to our amazing show sponsor! Lebra https://www.lebrahq.com/

Not so long ago, distance learning was mostly seen as a futuristic experiment in education. Then all instruction moved online. Where are we now, and where are we going? Amy and Mike invited ed-tech consultant Phil Hill to assess the state of distance learning in higher education. What are five things you will learn in this episode? How can the transition from all in-person to at least partially distance learning in education be described? Is online instruction synonymous with for-profit in higher education? Is distance learning in higher education the same as online K-12 instruction? Has modern distance learning efficacy really improved much? What should future students expect as far as online classes go?     MEET OUR GUEST Phil Hill (@PhilOnEdTech) is Publisher of the PhilOnEdTech blog and Partner at MindWires, LLC.

Podcast Description “When your rights are being dismantled and destroyed, and your personhood isn’t respected, you shouldn’t be civil. You should cause a scene.” Dr. Chris Gilliard is a writer, professor and speaker. His scholarship concentrates on digital privacy, and the intersections of race, class, and technology. He is an advocate for critical and equity-focused approaches to tech in education. His work has been featured in The Chronicle of Higher Ed, EDUCAUSE Review, Fast Company, Vice, and Real Life Magazine. Transcription 00:30 Kim Crayton: Hello everyone, and welcome to today's episode of the #CauseAScene podcast, where my guest today is Dr. Chris Gilliard, pronouns he/him. Would you please introduce yourself to the audience, Dr. Gilliard? Dr. Chris Gilliard: Hi, I am—thanks for having me. Yeah, my name is Dr. Chris Gilliard, and I... I guess I'm not good at self-promoting or talking about myself. So, I do a lot of writing and speaking on privacy and surveillance and platforms and you know, digital equity, things like that. Kim: All right. So since he has a problem with being, you know, self promoting, this is what this episode is gonna be about: an hour of self promotion. [Dr. Gilliard laughs] So, let's start as we always do. Why is it important to cause a scene? And how are you, sir, causing a scene? Dr. Gilliard: So, you know, I thought about this, and I think probably the most important thing I could think of was how civility has been used against us historically and currently; the notion that, [laughs] you know... Kim: I usually do not interrupt people, but folx know how I feel about civility. We actually have a shirt in the community that says "Fuck Civility." [Laughs] 01:51 Dr. Gilliard: Yeah, how it's been used, you know? I mean, when your rights are being dismantled and destroyed and your personhood isn't respected, you shouldn't be civil. You should cause a scene. And, you know, I mean, I do my best. I think the way I try to do it is to tell the truth. I think that there are lots, you know, particularly, I mean, it's not only tech, but I think tech has its own way of doing this, lying to people all the time, telling mis-truths, half truths, outright lies. Kim: Mmhm. And under the guise of "we're doing it to save you." Dr. Gilliard: Right! Right! And I think one of the ways they get away with it is that, you know, in group / out group thing. You know, saying who's in tech, who's not in tech, who gets to talk; saying that you can't speak on it because you don't understand it. And so, to the extent that I do understand it and other people don't, or I have a degree of insight or time on my hands that other people don't, I try to just tell the truth about things. 03:07 Kim: OK, so there you mentioned two things that I—well, you mentioned one thing on your Twitter—I wanted to highlight something, talk about something that—well, you mentioned two things, three things. Fuck civility, 'cause I say all the time when I really start unpacking white supremacy and realizing just like walking around in my world, that whiteness is... civility is optional for whiteness, but it's the expected behavior of people of color and other marginalized groups because it allows us to manage our own behavior so we don't bother you. We don't make you uncomfortable—whiteness uncomfortable. We do not cause a scene for whiteness. When I really started unpacking that how often I let other people pass who should be paying attention, people bumping into you as though you don't exist, how people just walk around the world and say and do things that we have just been trained not to; it's just like, "Oh my god!" [Laughs] And then when I connected it... so our parents, our forefathers, taught us these things to save our lives. I totally get—I totally understand that. And for us, it's been sold as that's what polite is—particularly in the South. You know, Southern nice: we just smile and we take it in and we just—you could be stompi...

Dr. Tina Balser, Director of Student Success Initiatives at the University of Missouri in Columbia in her recent EDUCAUSE Review post, explains why a socio-technical approach to student success is what higher education institutions should adopt.

In this episode, the instructional designers from Arizona State University’s Edson College of Nursing and Health Innovation (Celia Coochwytewa, Jinnette Senecal, and Aaron Kraft) describe a problem-solving methodology known as “Design Thinking”, and explore the implications for higher education.

In this episode, the instructional designers from CONHI’s Academic Innovation (Jinnette Senecal, Celia Coochwytewa, and Aaron Kraft) and special guest Babette Kraft, springboard off a recent Educause Review article to discuss the diverse job titles, roles, and responsibilities of instructional designers, instructional technologists, learning designers, and related professions across varied institutional environments. We explore the positive and negative implications for the lack of a universal definition for the field and how educational programs relate to this ambiguity. To wrap up, we contemplate ways for aspiring or novice instructional designers to develop relational professional knowledge, leverage existing networks, and evaluate the type of workplace culture that will best meet their needs.

Abstract Learning management systems (LMS) such as Blackboard and Canvas provide a foundation for instructors to design online learning experiences. In recent years, the functionality of most LMSs has expanded to offer more flexibility, primarily by allowing external tools to be integrated. Tools such as Twitter, YouTube, and Quizlet have the potential to increase learners’ access to content, foster interaction with others in the community, and assess learning in diverse ways. In this session, we will provide examples of how these tools can support sound pedagogical practices, and encourage attendees to explore integrations in their online courses. Specifically, an instructor shares experiences of utilizing several integration tools within Canvas online courses. Presenters Amanda Groff, Ph.D. Associate Lecturer of Anthropology College of Sciences College of Education and Human Performance University of Central Florida Amanda T. Groff is an Associate Lecturer in the Anthropology Department in the College of Sciences at UCF. Over the years, Dr. Groff has integrated various tools and strategies to engage online learners in her undergraduate archaeology and cultural courses. Dr. Groff was awarded the Chuck. D.

Abstract Supporting the learning needs of students in online courses is commonly perceived as challenging for instructors, as the time and effort needed to master particular concepts may vary widely. Adaptive learning, an educational method which adapts presentation of material and assessment according to students’ unique learning needs, is gaining popularity in online courses. In this session, we will provide an overview of adaptive learning approaches, describe real-life examples, consider the instructor’s role in personalizing the experience, share available support and resources, and encourage a call to action for attendees. Specifically, an instructor’s experience of integrating personalized adaptive elements into online courses using the Realizeit platform will be presented.PresentersDebbie Hahs-Vaughn, PhDProfessor Department of Educational and Human Sciences College of Education and Human Performance University of Central FloridaDebbie L.
