Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Durable Skills in the Humanities with Chelsea Brislin, Shawna Felkins, and Jennifer Osterhage
Q: What makes this humanities laboratory course different from traditional humanities courses?
The course foregrounds applied humanities, linking disciplinary study to non-humanities careers via hands-on projects, collaboration with professionals, and real-world problem solving; it includes a structured, step-by-step design that makes skills visible and articulable to employers, not just theoretical discussions.
Durable Skills in the Humanities with Chelsea Brislin, Shawna Felkins, and Jennifer Osterhage
Q: Can each of you tell us about a time when you realized you wanted to be an educator?
Chelsea shares that her initial interest was in teaching storytelling and helping students connect ideas, with a pivot from a planned curator path to teaching due to enjoyment of student interactions. Jennifer describes discovering education through teaching genetics and participating in the Center for Teaching, which revealed the value of evidence-based teaching. Shauna reflects on early influences from her English teaching family and a middle-school teacher who nurtured curiosity, which eventually drew her to faculty development.
AI-Aware Online Math Teaching with Jessica Bernards
Q: How has AI changed your approach to online math courses?
She integrates AI thoughtfully through an AI tutoring workflow, prompts students to create AI tutor bots for their labs, and teaches how to use AI to generate practice problems and scaffold learning, while setting clear boundaries on what AI can and cannot do for graded work.
AI-Aware Online Math Teaching with Jessica Bernards
Q: What are some ways that you try to build student metacognition in your math courses?
She uses structured online discussion boards with purposeful prompts, draft labs, and reflection questions; peer feedback is scaffolded with a rubric to ensure quality, and there are explicit checkpoints for students to reflect on what helped their learning and where they still struggle, all aimed at making thinking visible in an online environment.
AI-Aware Online Math Teaching with Jessica Bernards
Q: Can you tell us about a time when you realized you wanted to be an educator?
Jessica describes noticing early on in fifth grade that explaining concepts clearly to a struggling friend gave her a sense of satisfaction and sparked a commitment to helping others learn, which evolved into a career teaching math. Her experiences with a teacher who emphasized perseverance and conceptual understanding inspired a shift from elementary education to math professorship.
