  • Great teaching and learning pod

    Full of great practical ideas for improving your teaching- especially post secondary education.

    I’m new to the podcast- 50 episodes in, and going in order. I hope they also talk more about research and coping with tenure track years.

  • So glad I found this!

    There is a real need for podcasts about higher education, especially now! I was drawn here by the episode with Derek Bruff, and it was very timely. I will come back often to catch up on all the great conversations I’ve been missing. Thank you!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Learning Reinforces Curiosity
Q: What thoughts do you have about what instructors might consider as they take this information in and think about their own classroom contexts?
Abir says the findings are basic research rather than classroom-tested guidance, but suggest that engaging material should connect genuinely to the lesson. A disconnected hook may fail to transfer curiosity or could distract students from the intended content.
Learning Reinforces Curiosity
Q: What happens when you encounter a satisfying answer?
The study found that satisfying answers, especially those that were more interesting than expected, increased curiosity about similar information. Disappointing answers reduced it.
Process-Focused Teaching
Q: What role does AI play in your teaching, and how do you ensure students use it as a tool rather than a crutch?
AI is positioned as one element among feedback sources (peer, self, AI) inside a structured PAIRR framework, with emphasis on transparency, contextualized feedback, and conversations that anchor learning rather than replacing critical thinking.
Process-Focused Teaching
Q: How do you manage scalability in large or online courses when implementing process-focused grading?
He discusses selective, ad hoc querying about processes, partial review of student work, and using self- and AI-assisted assessments to reduce workload while still surfacing students' thinking and progress.
Process-Focused Teaching
Q: Could you walk us through an example of a process-focused assignment for a specific learning objective?
The guest describes guiding students to design a project that connects to course goals, starting with a rough idea, choosing a format (creative or analytical), and then iterating with feedback that balances student ownership with instructor review, ensuring alignment to core skills.
