Exams can send shivers down a student's spine, but it doesn't have to be that way. Exams can be a positive learning experience, not a punitive exercise that induces unnecessary stress. In this episode we discuss an innovative form of testing that is student generated, collaborative and was found to reduce anxiety. An added bonus, it is also less time consuming to mark, allowing educators more time to work with students. This new and innovative testing methodology was developed by Prof Melanie Adrian, and together with doctoral candidate Emily-Jean Gallant, they studied the impact of this form of testing. Prof Melanie Adrian is Associate Professor in the Department of Law and Legal Studies at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada. She has been appointed to the Order of Ontario, the province's highest honour, for establishing Carleton University as a global leader in protecting vulnerable scholars and co-founding the not-for-profit Be the Choice that helps cancer patients navigate their treatment options. In addition to her academic work, Prof Adrian is also a pioneer and innovator in her pedagogical approach. In 2019 she was appointed to Carleton University's inaugural Chair in Teaching Innovation. This prestigious position is awarded to educators who have demonstrated teaching excellence and innovation across their academic careers. It provides the professor with funding to develop a scholarly project to advance teaching excellence, with a particular emphasis on strategies to foster student success. Throughout her career, Prof Adrian has been recognized as an exceptional teacher. At Harvard University she was awarded five distinctions in teaching, and at Carleton University she received several teaching awards from the Faculty of Public Affairs and several at the University level. In 2021 she was named one of Ontario's most outstanding university teachers by the Ontario Confederation of University Faculty Associations (OCUFA). She received the prestigious OCUFA Teaching Award for her outstanding contributions to the quality of higher education at Ontario's universities. Emily-Jean Gallant is a Doctoral Candidate in Legal Studies at Carleton University. She recently presented research on Engaged Testing with university students at the Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education. She has extensive experience working as a research and editorial assistant across multiple disciplines. Emily-Jean's background is in philosophy and anthropology, and her Master's thesis is on Martin Heidegger's conception of time. Her current research is focused on the impact 20th century Continental philosophy has on Critical Legal Studies.

Innovation fuels entrepreneurship in Maine. In recent years, several small business startups with novel ideas for products have created and sold them at a global scale. For more than a decade, the University of Maine Foster Center for Innovation has collaborated with students, faculty, staff, startups and established organizations, and offered courses and other resources on how to innovate. It also serves as a hub for commercializing and developing businesses from university research. In the final episode of Season 6 of “The Maine Question,” Renee Kelly, assistant vice president of innovation and economic development at UMaine, discusses how innovation occurs, what makes an entrepreneur, and how fostering both can help Maine grow its economy and retain talented individuals. Two UMaine alumni and startup founders — Amber Boutiette, co-founder of Marin Skincare, and Tyler Delargy, CEO of Real Time Reality — also join the podcast to share what they learned along their journeys to create new goods and enterprises.

Innovation should be taught as a subject at school, according to research from Wellington's Creative HQ. It surveyed 150 young people aged 12 to 24 across 20 countries, and found that 96 per cent want innovation to be part of the school curriculum. 89 per cent of the Gen Z respondents said they believe innovation to be crucial to improving the world around them, and just over three quarters considered themselves as innovative. Kathryn speaks with Dr Colin Kennedy, Head of the School of Innovation at Creative HQ.

We are joined by Lori Leonard, Amy Kuo Somchanhmavong, and Shorna Allred, members of the Cornell Center for Teaching Innovation's Digital Storytelling Community of Practice. We learn about the podcasts, video stories, and other media projects they are utilizing in the classroom and the field. #加油 #boleh #dounia  #perema Center for Teaching Innovation - Digital Storytelling Community of Practice Global Garbage - Trash Talk Global Citizenship and Sustainability Digital Stories

Transcript James Bell  Fort Hays State University is set to celebrate Veterans this week, President Tisa Mason talks to us about that and more on this episode of the Post Podcast.   Tisa Mason  We're really excited. And actually, I would say a year or so ago, when the fabulous Senator Jerry Moran was on our campus, we talked about what we were doing with the National De-escalating Training Center, which we started actually in August of 2020. And we're a part of a national network that is definitely working on education to provide both in person and online, law enforcement professionals with some new skills in their toolkit and techniques to defuse potentially dangerous situations, which we know happens all the time. Or more often than we want. And not just with law enforcement, it happens in all of our lives. And so these are really, you know, great skills. And we're really excited about that. So this grant is going to help us as the $1.25 million grant from the Department of Justice, and really, Senator Moran was very instrumental in facilitating the awarding of this grant. So we're excited we're going to have on campus to celebrate his efforts and our ability to move forward. He'll be here on November 23, when we will, officially and ceremonially accept the grant.   James Bell  Love it. Um, is there? Is there an event planned yet? Or is it still kind of in the works a little bit   Tisa Mason  It is planned.   James Bell  Okay. Well, we'll keep an eye out for some details there. Um, oh,   Tisa Mason  4 p.m.   James Bell  Yes. Okay, there we go.   Tisa Mason  4 p.m. at the Fischli Wills Center.   James Bell  I love that, because officially wills what a perfect opportunity, if you haven't yet to get in there and see that new building that thing is amazing.   Tisa Mason  It's fun to have it there too, because it's about success. That's a building about student success. And this is about world of success.   James Bell  Absolutely. And from my understanding, you had some contributions that kind of helped technology-wise with that whole thing, right?   Tisa Mason  Well, you know, I'm a huge fan of our Teaching Innovation and Learning Technologies team, which are our instructional design teams that build and work with faculty on all our outstanding distance learning. And so the team that is working with the De-escalation Training Center, matched up with TILT the Teaching Innovation and Learning Technology so that they could create really immersive safe paced scenario based learning experiences for the people that will be going through this program. So again, we're I'm we're married, marrying, so to speak, rich content and skill building with a history of strong online learning platforms. And that's one of the things that we're really good at.   James Bell  Yeah, I was gonna say online education. When you think online education, at least in the Midwest, I think Fort Hays is always the top of that conversation. Oh, very cool. Well, moving on. Also, you know, it's we're coming up on Veterans Day. Oh, I think it's a, you know, week or so week and a half away from now. And you're going to be celebrating that as well down at Fort Hays State.   Tisa Mason  Yeah, I love the opportunity to say thank you to our military and of course, Veterans Day gives us the ability to do that, especially for those who are serving now. And we're going to have lots of activities on campus. Participants can see a flag in a poster display that celebrates our heritage with the connection to the military. We have a strong connection with military, military programs, and other ways that we work with our service members of whom we for whom we are very, very grateful for. That will happen in both the Memorial Union and Fishchli Wills Center for Student Success. We also have an opportunity to folks to leave messages in recognition of family members who have answered the call to duty. Again, very grateful I'm and the daughter and the sister of a veteran so it hits home with me for sure. On Thursday at 11 o'clock. We're going to host our annual Veterans Day ceremony on the quad side of the Memorial Union. And then at our outstanding we're going to win football game on Saturday. We will have a Military Appreciation and a Senior Day. I understand from Matt Cook will be managing horses, people and motorcycles for that game so it should be a fun football game.   James Bell  Very cool. Yeah, go out it very least cheer on the Tigers and help us celebrate those military professionals that yes, are very important to us. Every, all of us really. There's one other thing we want to hit on before we go. And that's, you know, the COVID thing. Fort Hays State, you know you guys have done a pretty good job. I think down there you we haven't seen a whole lot of activity there. But one of the things that I think is been huge in the news is the D-one schools, the vaccine mandates they are mandating, but Fort Hays is going a different way, right?   Tisa Mason  Yeah, we have not implemented a vaccine mandate. We did have an incentive program I think we talked about at this point, I think we are a little above approximately 80 percent of our faculty and staff. I don't recall the percentage off the top my head for the students, but I know that it's over 50 percent of our students as well. Most importantly, we have to be careful of our residential students, and isolation and our high has been well, it was three students till the other day, we're up to four students. But it's been very minimal. We've really done really well with people making local decisions. But what happened recently is the federal government said that they were going to put language in federal contracts. So research institutions are particularly going to have to make decisions about a vaccine mandate whether they wanted to do one or not, and turning down contracts from the federal government because there's a lot at research institutions. For Fort Hays State right now, although we have grants and contracts. At this point, we reviewed all of them, not one of them, includes the language. So we are watching, we are studying, if we get a contract that hasn't, we'll have a conversation about whether we turn it down or move forward. And our hope is not to have to do a mandate. It's really unfortunate, quite frankly, that we've been put in this position but so far, we're holding strong we do not have to mandate and we are going to continue with our excellent success on mitigating the spread of the virus on our campus. Another shout out to the doctors and Student Health and the faculty and the staff and everyone who has come together, our students to make our environment safe.

As diversity and inclusion initiatives mature, evaluation and improvement are prioritized. In this episode, Melina Ivanchikova and Matt Ouelett join us to discuss how one such program has evolved. Matt is the Founding Executive Director at Cornell University's Center for Teaching Innovation. Melina is the Associate Director for inclusive Teaching in the Center. They developed Cornell's EdX MOOC on Teaching and Learning in the Diverse Classroom. A transcript of this episode and show notes may be found at http://teaforteaching.com.

This is Episode 3 of "Centering Centers", a podcast that explores the work of Centers of Teaching and Learning and the vision and insights of educational developers in higher education. This episode features Mathew Ouellett, executive director of the Center for Teaching Innovation at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY. Here is a transcript of the podcast.

Mira Sucharov’s new book, Borders and Belonging: A Memoir (Palgrave MacMillan, 2020), is a work that takes seriously the feminist adage that the “personal is political,” and vice versa. Through an intimate telling of her life, Sucharov uses the work to trace her shifting relationship to Israel, and the Israeli-Plaestinitan conflict, the meaning of diaspora Jewish identity, and what writing about International Relation can look like. The memoir covers topics such as the divorce of her parents, her time spent at Jewish summer camps as a child, visits to Israel, and her time in graduate school then later as a professional academic working in the field of Political Science, specializing in Israel-Palestine. Throughout, Sucharov touches on themes of identity, gender, disability, and home. It is a work of use to scholars across the humanities and social sciences for its honest approach to the subjective dynamics of academic engagement. Mira Sucharov is Professor of Political Science and University Chair of Teaching Innovation at Carleton University. She is the author of Public Influence: A Guide to Op-Ed Writing and Social Media Engagement (University of Toronto Press, 2019), and The International Self: Psychoanalysis and the Search for Israeli-Palestinian Peace (SUNY Press, 2005). She is also co-editor of the volumes Social Justice and Israel/Palestine: Foundational & Contemporary Debates, and Methodology and Emotion in International Relations: Parsing the Passions. In this gripping and honest memoir, Mira Sucharov shows what a search for political and emotional home looks like. Sucharov suffered from childhood phobias triggered by her parents' divorce, and she sought emotional refuge in Jewish summer camp. But three years spent living in Israel in her twenties shook her to her core. Ultimately, encounters with colleagues, students, friends and lovers force her to confront what it means to be able to write, advocate and teach about Israel/Palestine in a way that balances affirmation with authenticity.

For decades, the conflict between Israel and Palestine has been one that has crossed borders and become of international interest. In this week’s episode, professors Jeremy Pressman and Mira Sucharov share, with singular knowledge, their point of view on the conflict—and the way forward. In conversation with Daniel C. Kurtzer, they examine the default use of military force on both sides. Pressman contends that this force has prevented peaceful resolutions in the past, and asserts that diplomacy is the only way forward, as he argues in his book The Sword Is Not Enough: Arabs, Israelis, and the Limits of Military Force. Sucharov brings personal experience from her book Borders and Belonging: A Memoir, vulnerably relating her search for a political and emotional home, one that led her to live in Israel for three years in her twenties. Join them for a raw and poignant conversation about conflict, diplomacy, and resolution—and stay in the know about what’s happening in this moment at Town Hall Seattle. Jeremy Pressman is Associate Professor of Political Science and Director of Middle East Studies at the University of Connecticut. He is author of Warring Friends: Alliance Restraint in International Politics and co-author of Point of No Return: The Deadly Struggle for Middle East Peace.

In this episode we are joined by Dr Carolina Kuepper-Tetzel, an expert in memory and learning from the University of Glasgow. Carolina's work involves translating research findings into the 'real-world' of learning. She is one of the members of the 'Learning Scientists', a group of cognitive psychologists whose work involves communicating evidence-informed learning strategies to the masses though talks, videos and downloadable resources!With Carolina, we discuss spacing and retrieval- the two most effective learning strategies (supported by the research) for longer-term retention, exploring why they are more effective than the “more-popular” techniques of highlighting and rewriting notes.We look at the use of flash cards and questions, and how these can be used effectively (by combining retrieval and spacing) but highlight how they can sometimes be used ineffectively!We finish with discussing what is the most important thing to do when it comes to revision, in those anxiety-filled few weeks before an exam!Recommendations from the episode:Learning scientists https://www.learningscientists.org/- download short step by step 'posters' or book marks describing how to embed spacing and retrieval. -Other effective strategies such as elaboration and concrete examples are also detailed on their website. These are supported further with video podcasts and an audio podcast (subscribe to it via iTunes!)TILE Network https://tile.psy.gla.ac.uk/- the Teaching Innovation and Learning Enhancement network; bringing together educators and students to discuss evidence-informed approaches to learning. -if you'd like to get involved e.g. by writing a blog please get in touch via their website tile@psy.gla.ac.uk  If you enjoy the podcast please do leave us a review on iTunes and if you'd like to contact us you can find us on Instagram (give us a follow!) @thehippocampuspodcast and Twitter @hippocampus_podYou can also email us at thehippocampuspodcast@gmail.com! We are always open to hearing suggestions for future episodes and future guests!
