As students return home for the semester, we all may feel slightly more distant from the academic discussion and debate that takes place on campus. Fortunately, in today’s digital world, separation from the campus community does not necessarily result in our disengagement from these conversations. Whether you have an extra 30 minutes of time on your hands or an hour to burn, podcasts are an accessible means through which you can stay caught up with policy experts, news, and discussions taking place around the world. Below are five free podcasts that will keep you connected with the international community while at home. Each podcast is available on the organization’s website as well as on Apple Podcasts.
The Truth of the Matter | Center for Strategic & International Studies
Average length: 30 minutes
This is a space where I'm going to try to write about the next steps for anyone unexpectedly transferring their course to online. For those teaching, the goal is to provide one idea each day that you can try with your class. Topics will include ideas for leading a group discussion, eliciting and interpreting individual students' thinking, setting up and managing small group work, providing oral and written feed back, and many more. The topic today is participation and it is a little longer than usual and too much to digest in one sitting. Future entries will be shorter and more limited. Feel free to send me comments and questions.
While most traditional instructors have an idea what participation looks like in their average class. Many have not spelled it out completely hoping that a shared experience of "being in classes" helps to define the construct. When students shift to online instruction, the shared experience of holding class no longer holds. The first thing that instructors should do is to reevaluate what counts as participation.
Nathaniel Stapleton in the Department of Mathematics recently received two grants for new tools in chromatic homotopy theory, a project funded by the National Science Foundation. The awards include an NSF standard grant and a grant from the United States-Israel Binational Science Foundation. Read more here: http://bit.ly/2SNmKWX.
