This group of facilitators for the #POD25 "Getting Started: Workshop for New Educational Developers" pre-conference workshop--they are amazing! (Shown here in action figure poses).

The audience of educational developers at #POD25 cheered at @edufuturist.bsky.social ‘s comment that the only known solution to “the cheating problem” with AI is to “rethink assessment top to bottom.” Apparently, that’s not the usual response. 😂

Well, that explains a lot. Except I’d delete “sometimes.” @edufuturist.bsky.social speaking at #POD25. Slide with text: tl;dr - Things are getting weirder. And, sometimes, harder.

Making some things about AI lately - a library of examples of assignments, course policies, in-class activities, etc., and a synthesis of emerging practices: ctl.stanford.edu/aimes/aimes-...

I'm catching up on the work of a truly gifted writer with whom I've lost touch in recent years. This essay is still deeply, sadly relevant now. "On Being a Parent Amid this Latest Anti-trans Violence" by Eric LeMay. ericlemay.org/On-Being-A-P...

This worked for me! I have been looking for this fix. Thanks @lizneeley.bsky.social.

After a wonderful intro to #linocut with @thewonderstruck.bsky.social earlier this year, I’ve been enjoying this form of making. Postcard press from openpressproject.com.

Helpful ideas for classes, meetings, and other settings with people

At least this and also this one www.acenet.edu/Policy-Advoc...

Yay for someone I ♥️ publishing this paper! #ProudMama #altmetric doi.org/10.1371/jour...

In “A Model for Driving Institutional Change through Equity-Minded Inquiry Teams” at #POD24 w/ Amit Savkar, Milagros Castillo-Montoya, Jillian Ives: faculty in cross-functional teams away a focus on “what’s going on with our practices” not just “what’s going on with our students” 👏 #STEMEd

Tues lunch at #POD24, Equity-Based Teaching Collective Lunch Meet-up! Authors shared: this will be a chance to dive into new resource, transformlearning.everylearnereverywhere.org/equity-teach... & discuss actions + ideas. After getting a box lunch, go to Jackson Park A! 12:00-2:00pm, 12 Nov 2024

To all conference attendees everywhere, please never decline a mic. The loudness of a voice is not the only thing that makes it intelligible and so some of us cannot hear you regardless of how well you project. This is my 11th year of tweeting this plea at various conference #POD24

New Substack from @janerosenzweig.bsky.social - The Important Work - seeking writers & readers on teaching writing in the presence of generative AI. #POD24 folks & others take note! #genAI #HigherEd #EdDev #Writing#Pedagogy

Ten Free Ebooks for Getting Free. Thank you, @haymarketbooks.bsky.social. www.haymarketbooks.org/blogs/517-te...

Finally watched #InsideOut2 on the plane to #POD24. Love! Pitch for Inside Out 3 — Menopause! New characters include Hot Flash, Brain Fog, Unapologetically Present, Zero F****, Self Care, and What Is My Body Doing Now. Who’s got a Pixar connection?

I think I made this feed to pick up all posts tagged with #POD24 from the last seven day: bsky.app/profile/did:.... I used Skyfeed, which is what @lindsaymasland.bsky.social used last year.

New to the field of educational development, working in a center for teaching & learning (including as a "center of one" person!)? This workshop at the upcoming POD Network conference is for you! podnetwork.org/product/pod2... #HigherEducation #EducationalDevelopment #ProfessionalDevelopment

News about the #StanfordUniversity Course Design Institute! ctl.stanford.edu/news/course-... Many places have these & I'm excited about the 2025 book by Jordan Troisi, @michael-palmer.bsky.social, Mary Wright, Lori Hostetler, & Carol Hurney: Developing High-Impact Course Design Institutes

Course design institute this week (quarter system so we have a later start). What’s your favorite example of expert forgetting? Here’s one: #FoldInTheCheese #HigherEd #teaching youtube.com/shorts/MWnGm...

Yay & thanks @sarosecav.bsky.social for such a wonderful starter pack of amazing colleagues! I am out of practice yet hopeful re: meaningful online community. So, what's up, friends in higher ed? This photo I took at SFMOMA a few weeks ago comes to mind re: fall 2024.

A genius writer and friend, Anjali Mitter Duva, is launching a new publishing co, Galiot Press, focusing on bold books by new and overlooked authors + transparency, respect, equity, and sustainability! It would help immensely if you sign up for project news at www.kickstarter.com/projects/gal...

You are welcome to join the conversation today! Caring Institutions, Successful Students: A Focus on Indigenous Students with the Roundtable on Systemic Change in Undergraduate STEM Education. 2:00 - 4:00 PM EDT via Zoom. #STEM #HigherEd www.nationalacademies.org/event/42162_...

Honored that our book is reviewed alongside @cathyndavidson.bsky.social & @katopodis.bsky.social's! "Despite (or because of) their differences, What Teaching Looks Like and The New College Classroom are complementary contributions to the literature on college teaching today.” doi.org/10.1080/0009...

Light-up Night is Tonight in Pittsburgh - #POD23 folks check it out downtownpittsburghholidays.com/highmark-lig...

At #POD23 and ready to get started! Emily Miller & I are facilitating an interactive session, Supporting the Higher Education Instructional Workforce: A Call to Collaborate, on Friday 11/17, based on work with a National Academies Roundtable & this article: doi.org/10.1080/0009... lnkd.in/gFZTzrxM

Hello Pittsburgh! Some things don’t change: both conference hashtags are already in play (but more of the graphics use the shorter one, so are we going with that?. #POD23 #POD2023 podnetwork.org/48th-annual-...

#HigherEd #FacDev #OnlineLearning #Pedagogy roll call! 👋🏻 Raise your hand and say hello. I want to follow cool people.

It's always wonderful to converse with great colleagues like Marielena DeSanctis and Catherine Ross; this time it was recorded! #Instruction #Equity #Workforce #HigherEd #VITAL #Faculty #FacultyDevelopment blubrry.com/dead_ideas/1...

In many discussions lately, both very local and very large-scale, I'm reminded that wellbeing for faculty and wellbeing for students need to go together, not be in opposition. Here's a little article I helped write along those lines... #EduSky #wellbeing #HigherEd doi.org/10.1080/0009...

Late to the party - what's going on, friends?
