Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

It Started as a Name on a Door with Thomas Tobin
Q: How does Universal Design for Learning apply beyond the classroom touchpoints?
UDL should be viewed as an institutional framework that lowers access barriers at all touchpoints—from registrars and help desks to counseling and student services—so that campus systems themselves become more navigable, equitable, and enabling for all students.
It Started as a Name on a Door with Thomas Tobin
Q: What are the three big pieces every new center should consider when standing up?
First, identify the actual challenges from both macro and micro levels. Second, align resources and staffing so the center can function with existing personnel. Third, set ambitious and realistic goals with a clear plan for how to measure success and adapt if funds or time change.
It Started as a Name on a Door with Thomas Tobin
Q: If someone was trying to build or grow a teaching and learning center, what advice would you have for them?
Focus on listening to both administrators and instructors to identify real, everyday challenges, then align center capabilities with those needs; use a hub-incubator-temple-sieve framework to structure services gradually; ensure you have realistic resource plans and empower faculty champions to sustain peer training.
Everyone Has Their Price: AI and Integrity with Tricia Bertram Gallant and David Rettinger
Q: What practical steps can faculty take to reduce cheating while embracing AI as a learning tool?
Faculty should articulate the value of tasks, design transparent assessments, use structured rubrics, promote durable human skills, and consider a two-lane assessment strategy that includes both online asynchronous work and secure, center-based evaluations when needed.
Everyone Has Their Price: AI and Integrity with Tricia Bertram Gallant and David Rettinger
Q: Is AI a fundamentally new problem, or is it the latest version of an older cheating problem?
AI is both a continuation of past issues like contract cheating and plagiarism, and a new tool that reshapes how students approach learning; thus, faculty should treat AI as an evolving factor and adjust learning objectives and assessments accordingly.
