    Quotes from the episode

    Most of our scars are hidden. I think most of the time people don’t see the scars that we carry.
    -David Gooblar

    We get such a small window into our students lives.
    -David Gooblar

    The imaginary idea of the college student in America is of a privileged student. And that’s just not the case when we talk about American college students today.
    -David Gooblar

    We need to work to earn their trust, to convince our students that we’re working for them, that our job is to help them develop, learn, and grow.
    -David Gooblar

    Voices on AI: Jeff Young Shares Soundbites of Change
    Nov 26 2025
    Jeff Young shares clips from his Learning Curve Podcast regarding AI in higher education on episode 598 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast. Quotes from the episode It is crazy to think of how much we've all learned about generative AI just in the last couple years. -Jeff Young I've been really interested in how students are thinking through AI and where their perspectives are. There is not one student view. You can find students that think all kinds of things. -Jeff Young Students are very aware of AI and they're also very aware of how it's changing the job market that they might enter. -Jeff Young One danger of these tools is that they give you such instant gratification. There's a hit of dopamine. -Jeff Young Students are using AI tools, not just for academics. They're experimenting with AI. -Jeff Young Resources Learning Curve Podcast Paul LeBlanc Maha Bali Students ‘will spend 25 years on their mobiles’ in The Times, by Mark Sellman Google NotebookLM Supporting Student Learning and Metacognition Shell Game Podcast Phonograph Podcast

Quotes from the episode A lot of you have been asking me about this game that I've played now and facilitated at over 10 universities and conferences called Go Somewhere. -Bonni Stachowiak What the game allows people to do is to be a little bit playful, laugh, and smile as we explore very serious things. -Bonni Stachowiak It can be helpful to have a map when we think about all of the different ways that artificial intelligence might impact our teaching. -Bonni Stachowiak The other issue that comes up a lot as we start talking about artificial intelligence is how often it bumps up against our sense of identity. -Bonni Stachowiak Continue to learn, reflect, and keep moving.

    Teaching, Learning, and the Lessons of Grief
    Nov 13 2025
    Christy Albright + Clarissa Sorensen Unruh share about teaching, learning, and the lessons of grief on episode 596 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast. Quotes from the episode Take two deep breaths. -Clarissa Sorensen Unruh None of the books that I researched on grief actually defined grief. It's like they just assumed you knew what it was because it's such a universal experience, but it's not universally experienced by everybody in the same way. -Christy Albright Anticipatory grief is when you know something is coming and you're already grieving that situation. -Christy Albright People assume that grief gets smaller, and actually we grow around it. -Clarissa Sorensen Unruh The big griefs in my life stay forever. -Christy Albright Resources Bonni fact checks her anecdote about birds Fractals: Is Hasan Smarter than a 13-year-old Math Genius Peter Felten: Can We Teach Curiosity?

    Nov 6 2025
    Roberta Hawkins + Leslie Kern share about their book, Higher Expectations: How to Survive Academia, Make it Better for Others, and Transform the University on episode 595 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast. Quotes from the episode We advise lots of different ways of rethinking our relationship with work in the book. -Roberta Hawkins You can’t solve institutional problems with individual sacrifices. -Leslie Kern We are not cogs in an institutional machine. -Roberta Hawkins One of the challenges, is the idea that our work is kind of a calling. It's a passion project. The institution knows that we love our work and that we are passionate about our students and that we care about bringing great ideas to fruition in the world, so it will extract every little drop of that from you in terms of your time and energy. -Leslie Kern Invisibilized labor is an equity issue as well as a workload issue. -Roberta Hawkins Resources Higher Expectations: How to Survive Academia, Make It Better for Others, and Transform the University, by Roberta Hawkins and Leslie Kern What you didn’t learn in class: Revealing the hidden curriculum, by Lindsay Vreeland, Center for Innovative Teaching and Learning at Northern Illinois University Beyond Anxiety: Curiosity, Creativity, and Finding Your Life's Purpose, by Martha Beck

    Carter Moulton shares about his Analog Inspiration (AI) card deck and human centered AI in the classroom on episode 593 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast. Quotes from the episode I'm here to talk a little bit about the Analog Inspiration card deck, which really is a professional development resource under the guise of a game. -Carter Moulton I wanted to create something that would bring faculty together and talk with each other and wrestle with these moral and ethical questions. -Carter Moulton Those three questions underneath at the bottom of the card are really just trying to foster that critical thinking with students about what it is they're making and what it is they're doing and how they're engaging with AI. -Carter Moulton I hope we don't abandon the decades of research that has shown the benefits of peer learning, of caring, belonging, and relationships in the classroom. -Carter Moulton Resources Analog Inspiration Card Deck How to Play Free Google Sheet for Discussions Buy - Analog Inspiration Card Deck Analog Inspiration Project Overview Bonni’s Analog Inspiration Unboxing Video (YouTube) Bonni awkwardly tries to mention HAL 9000 and WarGames and just clearly wasn’t ready for the moment 🤦‍♀️ Episode 585: Toward Socially Just Teaching Across Disciplines with Bryan Dewsbury 10 to 25: The Science of Motivating Young People: A Groundbreaking Approach to Leading the Next Generation—And Making Your Own Life Easier by David Yeager Co-Intelligence: Living and Working with AI, by Ethan Mollick Donna H.
