It begins. #CourseDesign #Spring2023

I have found that fewer students are completing #studentcourseevaluations #SETs (which are awfully flawed + not very helpful). A few years ago I started sending out my own surveys via Google Forms (template you can copy at the link!) to ask students questions that help me prepare for the next semester & make real improvements to my #coursedesign and #coursedelivery https://higheredpraxis.substack.com/p/tip-better-student-evaluations

Finished the syllabus for my first ever #Course that I’ll be #Teaching in winter. Took SO MUCH work as I tried my best to put a lot of thought and care into it. I hope it’s received well ☺️ #teaching #pedagogy #coursedesign #socMastodon #SocMasto #sociology #family #sociologyoffamily

Teaching research methods next term at last. Going to roll 10 years+experience into a course for creatives not research methods for humanities taught to creatives, which is often exactly what happens at universities. #researchmethods #coursedesign #finally #GetReady #winter23 #torontomet #creatives

I just read a call for "Humanizing online teaching and learning."
I think that is very to the point: Most of online teaching & learning IS inhumane, unappealing, ineffective, and demotivating. The problem is not tech, though - it is content & #didactics (#pedagogy/learning method).We must up our game!
We at @qomenius believe that the solution lies in the triad of discourse learning: https://www.qomenius.com/post/triad

I'm going to try an #introduction.
Let's see: I'm passionate about #teaching and #learning in #highered. I support #faculty in their teaching at #umich. My phd is in #politicalscience from Emory.

Let's talk about #activelearning, #ScienceOfLearning, equity-focused and inclusive teaching (#DEI), teaching in #publicpolicy and political science, #coursedesign, etc.

Of course, I'm always game for fascinating animal facts, adorable/fluffy pets, #cooking and #baking in my social media. :-)
