My daughter was 9-months when I started grad school. All I had were the found moments of my day. Mobile-friendly courses can help students make use of these found moments... bcacademictechnology.wordpress.com/2024/03/05/e... #EduSky #AcademicSky #mobiledesign #mobilelearning

When use a tool for a purpose it wasn't intended for it won't go so well. Imagine trying to use a hammer to pick oranges. We wouldn't get many oranges and if we did they might be a bit mushed. Same goes for AI detection tools. bcacademictechnology.wordpress.com/2024/02/27/d... #EduSky #academicsky

Officially launched the Renegade AI workgroup! Loved the chance to hear a student's perspective of how AI can support (and not supplant) learning. And of course, faculty had wonderful strategies to share on how they make use of AI for teaching and learning. #edusky #academicsky

My favorite quote from this piece on the power of humanizing education? "As an astrophysicist, I find stars and galaxies much easier to understand than people, I do enjoy learning about the layers of humans below the surface..." #EduSky #AcademicSky bcacademictechnology.wordpress.com/2024/02/13/e...

I've always struggled with icebreakers, but a good icebreaker can go a long way towards helping build a community (whether we're online or in-person). For some inspiration, check out this faculty's perspective on icebreakers. #academicsky #EduSky bcacademictechnology.wordpress.com/2024/02/06/i...

Announcing our Renegade Book Club for Spring semester... we'll be reading "Creating Engaging Discussions: Strategies for 'Avoiding Crickets' in Any Size Classroom and Online."

It's no secret I'm a fan of using mobile devices to support student learning. Love this insight into how one student uses her iPad for school. One benefit... it's easy to grab if she's running late to school:) #EduSky #academicsky #mobilelearning bcacademictechnology.wordpress.com/2024/01/18/u...

My goal in 2024- create magical interactions in my asynchronous online class. I'm thinking I might need to explore ideas outside discussions. If anyone has any tips, I'm all ears:) #EduSky #academicsky bcacademictechnology.wordpress.com/2023/12/05/m...

Pretty exciting to open a box of my books with my daughter! She thought my books were soft...so if you're looking for a soft book on mobile-friendly course design, check out "The Mobile Course Design Journey" #EduSky #academicsky (bit.ly/mobilecourse... ) youtu.be/-NRG2YvgnQM?...

Can't believe Zaretta Hammond joined our Renegade Book Club on "Culturally-Responsive Teaching and the Brain!" Such a powerful discussion on "cognitive redlining" and how the science of learning can disrupt it. #EduSky #academicsky bcacademictechnology.wordpress.com/2023/11/28/r...

Wonderful student perspective on the deciding factors when choosing between online and face-to-face courses. #academicsky #EduSky bcacademictechnology.wordpress.com/2023/11/16/c...

Wonderful panel discussion on actionable approaches to culturally-responsive pedagogy. Panelists shared strategies for implementing labor-based grading, reflecting, and building meaningful relationships with our students. #academicsky #EduSky bcacademictechnology.wordpress.com/2023/11/14/r...

Loved sharing approaches to faculty PD related to AI at the Chancellor's Seminar... Imagine using AI to leverage students' smartphones to brainstorm engaging in class discussions. Interesting chance to use students' phones while modeling effective use of AI for learning. #academicsky #EduSky

Wonderful piece from a CLEAR Action Research fellow on how she has continued iterating on her feedback practices to support student learning. Spoiler alert: she found student reflection on feedback improves grades. #academicsky #edusky bcacademictechnology.wordpress.com/2023/11/07/c...

No matter where you teach, I'm willing to bet (and I never bet) that most of our students have to make some sort of sacrifice to buy their college textbooks. For some students, they may be choosing between full meals and a $200 textbook. #OER #academicsky #EduSky bcacademictechnology.wordpress.com

A peek behind the curtains...I never tell my communication interns what to write about. Lately, it's all been about AI. What a powerful time to work with our students to explore ways AI can help us teach and learn. #artificialintelligence #EduSky bcacademictechnology.wordpress.com/2023/10/26/u...

Has anyone else added Canvas pages to students' to-dos? I've heard mixed results. Some faculty love it...others say it wasn't helpful. Thoughts? #EduSky bcacademictechnology.wordpress.com/2023/10/24/q...

The true power of mobile course design lies in the fluid learning experiences when students move seamlessly between computers and phones. This 2-minute video explores why mobile design matters #EduSKy youtu.be/dYfsrbARmEY?... And don't forget to check out bit.ly/mobilecoursejourney

Seriously the best 27-minute presentation on acing an interview I've ever seen. If you're looking for a full-time faculty position (or know someone who is), check out these short recordings. #EduSky bcacademictechnology.wordpress.com/2023/10/17/t...

I have a gift for you:) I’ve been thinking about mobile design a lot lately. In writing “The Mobile Course Design Journey” (bit.ly/mobilecoursejourney) I found that these eight principles can help us (easily) create mobile-friendly courses. Feel free to download a copy at alexrockey.com #EduSky

Student perspectives are often missing from the conversation of AI. This student draws a clear line between appropriate use (brainstorming and editing) and how she doesn't use AI (to write a whole paper). Love the nuance of her approach! #AI #EduSky bcacademictechnology.wordpress.com/2023/10/12/a...

It happened! My book is officially out! This book demystifies how we all can begin the mobile course design journey today. 👣 ❤️️Want to help get the word out? Rate and review on Amazon ( bit.ly/mobilecourse... ). You might win a free 20-minute mobile consultation:) #mobiledesign #facdev #edusky

I don't think I'm alone, but the thumbnails Canvas Studio generates for me automatically are terrible. Always. I leave them as is- I think it gives students a little laugh... But they can be changed:) #HigherEd #FacDev bcacademictechnology.wordpress.com/2023/10/10/q...
