Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What If Students Were Educational Developers? with Alison Cook-Sather
Q: What can institutions do today to start embracing a partnership mindset even without a formal program?
Begin by reframing high-impact practices to include student voice, expand performance expectations beyond traditional criteria, and encourage reciprocal dialogue that treats students as co-creators in teaching and learning.
What If Students Were Educational Developers? with Alison Cook-Sather
Q: What mindset do faculty need to be ready for these partnerships, and what hesitations do they commonly have?
Faculty need epistemic confidence in students, open-mindedness, and humility; hesitations often stem from fear of judgment or loss of authority, but partnerships tend to affirm expertise and foster deeper connections when managed thoughtfully.
What If Students Were Educational Developers? with Alison Cook-Sather
Q: What expertise do students bring to this work, and how is that recognized?
Students bring lived classroom experience, identity-informed insights, and diverse perspectives that can inform teaching and learning; recognizing this expertise requires creating space for dialogue and validating student knowledge as a legitimate basis for co-creating knowledge.
What If Students Were Educational Developers? with Alison Cook-Sather
Q: What does partnership mean to you in the context of higher education?
Partnership is a collaborative, reciprocal process where faculty and students contribute from different perspectives and expertise, with an emphasis on respect, reciprocity, and shared responsibility rather than equal inputs in exactly the same way.
POD as Praxis: Civic and Political Engagement (Host: Danielle Gabriel)
Q: How does information literacy get defined within academic libraries today?
Drabinski explains it as a framework that expands what counts as information literacy beyond evaluation to include the processes, production, and power dynamics behind information creation, access, and validation.
