Teaching Tip #12

Be flexible. Less is more. Unless you are teaching a class for some sort of certification, focus on clear objectives as opposed to what you might think is important.

This is tricky. I am afraid the days of pure academic freedom are over. Too many SACS (or other accrediting bodies) or state or professional regulations. Too many prerequisite requirements. So we have to forgo what we might like to teach to be "outcome" centered. Oh, well.

Morning News, July 14: The Day After

 Many of us are glued to, or at least checking frequently, media accounts of the shooting last night.  Donald Trump is very fortunate, and I hope he sees the spiritual reality of this incident--his life was spared--and lives in gratitude.  He is not "lucky," he was saved from death or significant brain injury. It's hard not to predict this propels him to the White House, but just as no one expected the back lash toward Biden about his debate performance or this shooting, we cannot assume the future.  And of course, the incident will be investigated for a long time to come; the fact a sniper was even there is pretty disturbing. On the "Twitters" there were some funny memes about how the media's coverage. One large outlet I was checking last night, even with the very clear Fox News footage of gunshots and blood, wrote as a headline, "Secret Service interrupts Trump Rally." You can't make this stuff up.  I'll let the chattering classes interpr...

Further criticism of higher education

Derek Thompson, who is never short on opinions, published this in the Atlantic . Despite this first sentence, I agree with him. I have lived it over the last 20 years. And I would say my institution is quite conservative in this regard, but we have had to, because of federal law and student expectations mostly, add several non-faculty positions. Fortunately, we do not depend overmuch on part-timers, not like many institutions, and their service is limited to two classes per semester in most cases.   The issue is also, are these burgeoning staff positions even effective? Well, it could be considered Apples and Oranges. Today there is almost no barrier to getting into some kind of (access) college. That access does not mean success. (Sounds like a good slogan for someone:  Access means success [or not].) But because there are few barriers, more come, and that means more issues to deal with, mental health being one of the largest, as well as academic unpreparedness.  A secon...

Open Educational Resources and Artificial Intelligence-Generated Material

 https://affordablelearninggeorgia.org/resources/opengenai I share this link because it leads to information about The University System of Georgia's policy statement on AI use in Open Educational Resources (OERs).  For those who don't know, OERs are not just homemade textbooks. They are designed for wide distribution digitally and should b e well researched and designed to be at parity with publishers' text. If done correctly, they use no material that is under copyright or that needs permission (and therefore perhaps payment), including images or text. They can utilize links to open access material on the Internet. The goal is to not breach copyright law and to keep them zero cost. Actually, the goal is to provide a better to or equal than option to traditional textbooks, which can extremely expensive.  OERs use Creative Commons licensing to protect the integrity of their use and to keep the author's work from being "stolen" and sold. I am not sure how viabl...
