I sesongens tiende episode av Spøkelser etter avdøde størrelser har Niclas Larson en semistrukturert samtale med Peter Frejd, som er både en god venn og en tidligere kollega fra forskerstudiene. Peter er docent i matematikkdidaktikk på Linköpings universitet. I Sverige er docent noe som en førsteamanuensis kan kvalifisere seg til. Litt forenklet er kravet å ha produsert forskning tilsvarende omtrent en doktorgrad til etter sin disputas. Peter forteller om et forskningsprosjekt han driver sammen med en kollega. De ser på matematikkfaget på yrkesprogrammer i videregående skole, der det er høy strykprosent. I studien har de testet tre forskjellige modeller for undervisning. En av modellene innebærer at hver uke flyttes én av matematikktimene fra det vanlige klasserommet til «yrkeslokalene», der matematikklæreren og læreren i yrkesfag jobber sammen. Mye av analysen av datamaterialet gjenstår, men Peter kan i hvert fall si noe om de første resultatene. I episoden forteller han også litt om sitt samarbeid med en kollega, som tidligere arbeidet på UiA.

Online college has been around for years, but too many students still struggle to finish, transfer, or earn a degree without taking on debt. In this episode of Start the Week With Wisdom, Bridget Burns and Sarah Kuster sit down live at the ASU GSV Summit with Tade Oyen, Chancellor of Campus, to talk about a new model for community college, online learning, student success, and higher education innovation.Tade explains how Campus is inspired by the CUNY ASAP model, which helped improve graduation rates by giving students wraparound support, full-time enrollment, success coaching, and fewer financial barriers. Instead of relying on self-paced online courses, Campus uses live online classes, faculty from top universities, coaching, tutoring, laptops, and transfer pathways to help students move toward a bachelor's degree with little to no debt. This conversation is for higher education leaders, edtech founders, student success teams, community college advocates, and anyone asking how AI, online college, and flexible credentials are reshaping the future of higher education.You'll learn → Why live online learning can create more motivation and accountability for 17-to-27-year-old students→ How Campus supports working learners and students who may not have followed a traditional college path→ Why CUNY ASAP remains one of the strongest models for community college completion→ How AI is changing the way colleges think about degrees, credentials, transfer, and career readiness.Learn more about the UIA by visiting:WebsiteLinkedInTwitterYouTubeFacebookThis week's episode is sponsored by Mainstay, a student retention and engagement tool where you can increase student and staff engagement with the only platform consistently proven to boost engagement, retention, and wellbeing.

AI in higher education is moving fast, but the real question is not whether colleges should use AI. The real question is how higher ed leaders can use AI, edtech, and innovation to help students learn well, finish strong, and build better futures.In this live episode from the ASU GSV Summit, we sit down with Mark Milliron, President and CEO of National University, to explore how colleges can move new ideas from “novel” to normal. Mark shares why higher education must avoid AI hype, focus on real student outcomes, and design learning for today's actual learners: working adults, parents, military students, veterans, and people balancing school with life.This conversation is for higher ed leaders, faculty, ed-tech founders, student success teams, policymakers, and anyone asking how AI will change college, online learning, adult education, workforce learning, and student support. You'll hear a practical, human-centered view of AI adoption, change management, collective intelligence, and the future of higher education.What you'll learn: how leaders can evaluate new technology without falling for hype, why AI should be seen as part of collective intelligence, how colleges can better serve nontraditional students, and why higher education needs to help shape the ed-tech products it may one day use.Highlights:→ Mark explains how strong higher ed leaders guide institutions from “novel” to normal by scouting new technology, talent, policy, and learning models that can improve student success.→ The conversation breaks down why AI in higher education should not be driven by fear or hype, but by thoughtful adoption, evidence, policy, practice, and human-centered change management.→ You'll hear why the “typical college student” mental model is outdated, and why working adults, military learners, parents, and career changers need flexible learning designed around their real lives.→ Mark also shares why higher ed, venture capital, philanthropy, K-12, and ed-tech need to align around shared problems, even when each group speaks a different language or has different goals.Learn more about the UIA by visiting:WebsiteLinkedInTwitterYouTubeFacebookThis week's episode is sponsored by Mainstay, a student retention and engagement tool where you can increase student and staff engagement with the only platform consistently proven to boost engagement, retention, and wellbeing.

I denne episoden av Grunnstoffene beveger vi oss langt ut i myra, helt til slutten av lantanidrekken og møter det sjeldne og kompakte grunnstoffet lutetium.Hvorfor krymper egentlig atomene gjennom lantanidene? Hva er lantanidekontraksjon, og hvorfor gjorde den hafnium nesten umulig å skille fra zirkonium?Vi snakker også om Viktor Goldschmidt og hvordan en norsk geokjemiker bidro til å forklare hvordan grunnstoffene fordeler seg i jordskorpen.Underveis blir det både Paris-historie, relativistiske effekter, kreftbehandling og PET-scannere. Et lite grunnstoff med overraskende store konsekvenser.Bli med oss på vår vimsete reise gjennom det periodiske system der vi får nerdet fra oss og gravd oss dypt ned i hvert enkelt grunnstoff, men på et nivå som alle skal kunne forstå. Med oss på reisen har vi eksperter som kan mer enn de fleste om de ulike grunnstoffene og hjelper oss å skjønne litt mer av det vi alle er lagd av. Vi er Gunstein Skomedal (materialteknolog UiA), Ole Martin Løvvik (fysiker, UiO/Sintef) og Birte Runde (journalist i Eyde-klyngen)Har du forslag til grunnstoff vi bør snakke om, gjester/eksperter vi bør invitere eller besøke, eller morsomme fakta og historier om et grunnstoff?

I sesongens niende episode av Spøkelser etter avdøde størrelser har Niclas Larson og Ida Landgärds-Tarvoll en semistrukturert samtale om hva som har skjedd med MatRIC, dvs. the Centre of Research, Innovation and Coordination of Mathematics Teaching. MatRIC var i ti år, fram til og med 2023, et Senter for fremragende utdanning, plassert på UiA. Etter det har MatRIC fortsatt med å tilby Drop in, som en støtte til matematikkstudenter. Men finnes det en framtid for MatRIC eller er det på vei å bli et spøkelse? Det viser seg at det finnes tydelige planer for MatRIC, med Ida som ny leder. Hun forteller om planene for «Nye MatRIC». MatRIC vil fokusere på tre saker, der den første er en fortsettelse av systemet med Drop in, men med ambisjonen å nå studenter på alle fakulteter og ikke fremst på TekReal. De andre to delene blir presentert i episoden, der Ida også prater om sin tidligere forskning med konstruksjon av et forkurs i matematikk for økonomistudenter på UiA.

Choosing a college, career, major, or post secondary pathway can feel overwhelming for students and families, especially when young people are asked to make life-shaping decisions before they have had real career exposure. In this episode of Start the Week with Wisdom, Bridget Burns and Sara Custer sit down with Julie Lammers, President and CEO of Brightbound, live from the ASU GSV Summit, to talk about why career exploration should start in middle school and high school, not after students arrive on a college campus.Julie explains how Brightbound, formerly American Student Assistance, is helping students build a longer runway toward life after high school through work-based learning, career-connected learning, non-degree pathway data, post secondary navigation, and practical tools for families, counselors, and higher education leaders. This conversation matters for anyone working in student success, college access, career readiness, workforce development, K-12 partnerships, or higher education strategy.You'll hear:→ Why asking students “What do you want to be?” can be the wrong question→ How early internships and hands-on learning help students discover what they like and do not like→ Why higher education has often become an expensive career exploration tool→ How new platforms like Go Zing are helping students compare college, credential, and career pathways with better informationLearn more about the UIA by visiting:WebsiteLinkedInTwitterYouTubeFacebookThis week's episode is sponsored by Mainstay, a student retention and engagement tool where you can increase student and staff engagement with the only platform consistently proven to boost engagement, retention, and wellbeing.

Hva har broer, de hvite klippene ved Dover, gamle romerske byggverk og ditt eget skjelett til felles? Svaret er kalsium.I denne episoden av Grunnstoffene dykker vi ned i grunnstoff nummer 20 i periodesystemet. Kalsium er det femte vanligste grunnstoffet i jordskorpen og et av de viktigste byggematerialene i både naturen og samfunnet. Det finnes i kalkstein, kritt og marmor, og ligger bokstavelig talt til grunn for noen av menneskehetens mest varige konstruksjoner.Sammen med gjest Ingrid Lande, førsteamanuensis ved institutt for ingeniørvitenskap Universitetet i Agder, snakker vi om betong, sement og fremtidens byggematerialer, og om hvordan kalsiumbaserte materialer fortsatt er helt avgjørende for moderne infrastruktur. Vi ser også på hvordan romerne laget sin berømte betong, hvordan Portlandsement ble oppfunnet på 1800-tallet, og hvorfor sementproduksjon i dag er en viktig del av klimadebatten. Og vi får også en tur på bygglaboratoriet der Ingrid og hennes kollegaer og studenter forsker på fremtidens grønne og supersterke betong som kan gjøre at bygg varer lenger og tåler mer.Og selvfølgelig: Kalsium er ikke bare stein og betong. Rundt 99 % av kalsiumet i kroppen vår finnes i knokler og tenner, men ionet Ca²⁺ spiller også en avgjørende rolle i alt fra nerveimpulser til muskelkontraksjoner og cellekommunikasjon.Kalsium er kanskje ikke det mest spektakulære grunnstoffet, men det er et av de viktigste. Fra mikroskopiske signaler i cellene våre til broer, bygg og byer – kalsium er rett og slett det som binder verden sammen.Bli med oss på vår vimsete reise gjennom det periodiske system der vi får nerdet fra oss og gravd oss dypt ned i hvert enkelt grunnstoff, men på et nivå som alle skal kunne forstå. Med oss på reisen har vi eksperter som kan mer enn de fleste om de ulike grunnstoffene og hjelper oss å skjønne litt mer av det vi alle er lagd av.

What does it take to lead a university for over two decades, and still love the work?In this special farewell episode of Start the Week with Wisdom, hosts Bridget Burns and Sarah Custer sit down with President Satish Tripathi of the University at Buffalo as he reflects on a remarkable 22-year legacy of leadership, innovation, and transformation. With retirement on the horizon, President Tripathi shares candid reflections on what's changed, what he's proudest of, and what it really takes to lead through complexity, uncertainty, and change.From moving a medical school to revitalizing a city, to pioneering national research in AI and drug discovery, Tripathi's tenure is marked by bold vision and patient execution. But beyond the milestones, he shares what shaped his leadership, from growing up in a small Indian village to navigating crises like the Great Recession and the COVID-19 pandemic. He also offers unfiltered advice for aspiring higher ed leaders, and a surprising answer about what he's looking forward to most after stepping down.Key Takeaways:→ Big change requires long-term vision: Transformational projects like relocating UB's medical school or launching NSF research centers took years, and a relentless commitment to mission.→ Naivete can be a secret weapon: Not knowing how hard something will be might just be the key to starting it at all.→ Legacy is defined by others: True leadership means focusing on impact, not recognition.→ Leadership evolves: Tripathi now leads with more listening, humility, and trust in his team than when he began.→ Great leadership isn't about the next job, it's about doing the current one with excellence.“If you're always thinking about the next job, you're not doing your current job well. Excellence now is what leads you forward.” – President Satish TripathiIf this conversation inspired you, share it with a colleague, subscribe for more wisdom-filled episodes, and take a moment to journal: what long-term impact are you building today?Learn more about the UIA by visiting:WebsiteLinkedInTwitterYouTubeFacebookThis week's episode is sponsored by Mainstay, a student retention and engagement tool where you can increase student and staff engagement with the only platform consistently proven to boost engagement, retention, and wellbeing.

I denne jubileumsepisoden feirer vi både episode nummer 40 og grunnstoff nummer 40: zirkonium. Et metall som sjelden får overskrifter, men som er helt avgjørende for moderne teknologi. Og når det en sjelden gang står i rampelyset, er det ikke småtteri...Zirkonium finnes i kjernekraftverk verden over, i høytemperatur-keramikk, i tannkroner, implantater og avanserte materialer som må tåle ekstreme forhold uten å reagere. Vi går gjennom historien fra zirkon som edelstein til strategisk råstoff, ser på de spesielle egenskapene som gjør zirkonium unikt, og forklarer hvorfor det må skilles fra sitt nesten-identiske søsken hafnium. Med oss i studio er SINTEF-forsker og musiker Ragnar Strandbakke, som gir innsikt i keramiske materialer, ionelederteknologi og hvorfor dette stille metallet er langt viktigere enn de fleste er klar over. Og ikke minst, utfordrer Ragnar oss på hvordan vi ved hjelp av Zirkonium kan bli flinkere på å gi hverandre fortjent oppmerksomhet.Bli med oss på vår vimsete reise gjennom det periodiske system der vi får nerdet fra oss og gravd oss dypt ned i hvert enkelt grunnstoff, men på et nivå som alle skal kunne forstå.

Hva har lysrør, romfart, Supermann og selve definisjonen av meteren til felles?I denne episoden av Grunnstoffene dykker vi ned i den diskrete, men overraskende viktige edelgassen krypton. Med god hjelp av Yngve Vindal fra den synergistiske podcasten Naturfagboka, snakker vi om oppdagelsen på slutten av 1800-tallet, hvorfor krypton lenge ble regnet som fullstendig ureaktivt, og hvordan det likevel klarte å danne forbindelsen KrF₂ – en kjemisk sensasjon som ikke burde vært mulig.Vi ser også på kryptons rolle i moderne teknologi, fra energieffektive vinduer og lasere til ionemotorene som holder Starlink-satellitter på plass i bane. Underveis tar vi også turen inn i populærkulturen: planeten Krypton, kryptonianerne og den beryktede kryptonitten.Du finner også episoden publisert som video på vår youtube kanal.Bli med oss på vår vimsete reise gjennom det periodiske system der vi får nerdet fra oss og gravd oss dypt ned i hvert enkelt grunnstoff, men på et nivå som alle skal kunne forstå.

Cruz v. UIA

What if college wasn't built for the very students who need it most? In this episode of Pathbreakers, we talk to Dr. Bridget Burns, CEO of the University Innovation Alliance (UIA), about her deeply personal journey from first-generation college student to national higher education reformer. Bridget opens up about the systemic gaps that left her, and students like her, under-supported and misunderstood, and how that experience lit a fire that fuels her work today.We explore how Bridget and the UIA are rewriting the playbook for higher education, one collaboration at a time. She shares how she's brought together 19 university presidents, often former first-gen students themselves, to put competition aside and share not just their success stories, but their failures. Why? Because vulnerable students can't wait for every school to reinvent the wheel.Bridget also takes us inside UIA's Listening Lab, a powerful innovation that puts student voices at the center of decision-making, and offers a candid look at the pressures facing college leaders today.Key Takeaways:Radical collaboration can drive real student success outcomes.Scaling innovation means adapting, not copying, solutions.Listening to students isn't optional, it's transformational.Empathy and improv can change how institutions lead.The classroom isn't the only path to career readiness.“We just need good ideas to not be a trade secret.” - Dr. Bridget BurnsIf you believe higher education should work for everyone, not just the privileged few, this is an episode you won't want to miss.Subscribe to Pathbreakers, share this episode with an educator or student in your life, and journal about how your own education shaped your path.Learn more about the UIA by visiting:WebsiteLinkedInTwitterYouTubeFacebookThis week's episode is sponsored by Mainstay, a student retention and engagement tool where you can increase student and staff engagement with the only platform consistently proven to boost engagement, retention, and wellbeing.

In this episode of the Innovating Together podcast, host Bridget Burns welcomes Dr. Carole Basile, Dean of Arizona State University's Mary Lou Fulton College of Teaching and Learning Innovation. Together, they dive deep into education innovation, structural change in teacher preparation, and the bold reimagining of the K–12 and higher education workforce.Dr. Basile's fresh approach centers on a groundbreaking premise: the average student or teacher no longer exists, so why are our systems still designed for “average”?

Recorded live at the ASU GSV Summit in San Diego, this episode of The Disagreement Podcast tackles the pressing question: Is college still worth it? Host Alex Grodd moderates a dynamic debate between higher education experts Dr. Bridget Burns, CEO of the University Innovation Alliance, and Ryan Craig, Managing Director at Achieve Partners and author of Apprentice Nation. Together, they unpack whether the traditional college model delivers economic and societal value in today's economy, or if shorter, skills-based alternatives like apprenticeships offer a better path. The discussion dives into ROI, workforce readiness, and the need for institutional reform, with Burns defending college's broader societal benefits and Craig advocating for "earn and learn" pathways to address employability gaps.With sharp insights, personal anecdotes, and a candid exchange of ideas, this episode challenges assumptions about higher education's role in a rapidly changing world. From the alarming statistic that only a quarter of college matriculants achieve their desired job outcomes to the call for integrating work-based learning into curricula, Burns and Craig offer compelling perspectives. A lively “steel man” exercise caps the debate, showcasing their ability to articulate each other's arguments. This episode is a must-listen for parents, students, and educators grappling with the future of post-secondary education.Key Takeaways:College's economic ROI is under scrutiny, with nearly half of students not completing degrees and over half of graduates underemployed.Societal benefits of college, like critical thinking and civic engagement, remain vital but must be balanced with better employment outcomes.Apprenticeships and work-based learning offer viable alternatives, though they may limit long-term career flexibility.Higher education needs reform to align curricula with workforce demands, especially in the AI-driven economy.The debate highlights the need for diverse, adaptable educational pathways rather than a one-size-fits-all model.“College is not a monolith, and it is a very individual choice, and we have to do a far better job actually helping people be successful with it.” – Dr. Bridget BurnsLearn more about the UIA by visiting:WebsiteLinkedInTwitterYouTubeFacebookThis week's episode is sponsored by Mainstay, a student retention and engagement tool where you can increase student and staff engagement with the only platform consistently proven to boost engagement, retention, and wellbeing.
