Tracking Covid-19 in Higher Ed
If you’re looking for someone who is tracking how Covid-19 is affecting higher education, I recommend visiting Bryan Alexander’s website. He’s created a list of resources that includes links to virus tracking, a spreadsheet of closures, and additional posts on Covid-19. It’s been especially interesting how his spreadsheet was picked up and adopted as a resource.
I know this is a stressful time…

Are We 'Tech'ing out the Teacher
Are We ‘Tech’ing out the Teacher
Humans are innately creative. Although we can’t all win a Pulitzer or a Nobel or a Turner prize, we are creative in many small ways. It could be in the way managers energize teams, parents find efficient ways to wrap up chores, kids upcycling garbage as part of a craft class, or even hoarders stacking things they collect.
Where do we learn, explores the fact that we don’t always learn in a…

This American Life: The Room of Requirement (Libraries)
This American Life: The Room of Requirement (Libraries)
It’s been a few months. Not as bad as I thought. For those of you who love libraries, there is an episode of This American Life you should listen to called “The Room of Requirement.”
In the Harry Potter books, there’s this place called the Room of Requirement. The way it works is you walk three times in front of this certain patch of wall at Hogwarts, thinking, like, I really need a coffee. And…

Computer Stories: A.I. Is Beginning to Assist Novelists (NY Times)
I found this article “Computer Stories: A.I. Is Beginning to Assist Novelists” interesting. Does knowing a program added bits of text to a novel change how you view the work?

Donald J. Trump Presidential Library
Donald J. Trump Presidential Library
Why not install it in a floor of his new hotel, right down from the White House? As I get accustomed to a Trump presidency, a random thought occurred to me, Trump’s going to get his own presidential library. I know it’s nothing compared to climate change, women’s reproductive rights, and bigotry. Still, it’s weird, because for the most part libraries, especially research libraries, are seen as…

Pew: Americans’ Attitudes Toward Public Libraries Pew Research Center recently released a report on America's public libraries. Are libraries becoming less collection focused and more focused on community engagement through teaching and public spaces?
How to Use Youtube Live Streaming for Free Lecture Capture
How to Use Youtube Live Streaming for Free Lecture Capture
When I first heard that Google was discontinuing Hangouts on Air, I panicked. However, that was unwarranted. Hangouts on Air is moving to Youtube Live and you can still use it as a free lecture-capture solution, while saving your institution $20K+ at the same time. Click on My Channel in the control panel at the top left. If you’ve used Hangouts on Air before, then you already have a Youtube…

Teaching with Technology Success Stories
Teaching with Technology Success Stories
Last week, I wrote about technology failures in teaching. This week, let’s look at what went right. I held an event on campus for faculty to share some of their success stories, as well as a few failures.
The categories were: best use of technology, most creative use, and idea I’d like to borrow for next year.
Attendees voted on ideas in three different categories: best use of technology, most…

Being a Caregiver with an Academic Career
Being a Caregiver with an Academic Career
There is research to perform. Lectures to prepare. Exams to grade. Articles to write and meetings to attend. The life of a professor is like the pulse of an airport: arrivals, departures, a steady stream of events all lining up against a timetable. It’s a hard balance between commitments and managing one’s time. However, when a longterm care situation combines with an already demanding career,…

Iowa Legislator Wants Game of Thrones Death Match for Academics
Professor trains in hopes of keeping his job.
State Senator, Mark Chelgren has a vision. He believes professors at publicly-funded Iowan universities should be voted out of a job by students, based on their student evaluations. While, it’s true that Inside Higher Ed declared “the bill had died in committee;” Inside Higher Edfailed to report that many felt the bill didn’t go far enough. A new bill…

Teaching Fails: What Didn’t Go as Planned in Your Courses?
The end is in sight. Come May, Seniors will graduate and faculty members will re-enter the world, no longer bound to grading and shackled to an 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. schedule. Before we all travel or binge-watch Game of Thrones, let’s take a moment to reflect.
If you tried something new in your teaching this year and it didn’t work out, now is the time for the post-mortem. What was the new approach…
