Top Hat

I had such a fun time talking about some of my favorite things—emotions, motivation, and the science of learning—with a couple of super smart and caring people. Take a 28-minute listen and let me know what you think!

What if the antidote to academic dishonesty isn’t stricter policies or plagiarism checkers, but getting students to care more about what they’re learning? We are so delighted to start Season 2 of Higher Listenings by speaking with renowned educator and author, Flower Darby. We think you’ll find her perspective as refreshing and practical as it is deeply human!

For faculty who are still early in their journey to understand AI and how they might integrate it into their courses, or for those who support faculty in their development, I cannot recommend highly enough our recording of yesterday's Higher Learnings webinar featuring Flower Darby offering her insights and empathy, https://lnkd.in/gcqpegFH.

It was another amazing day here in #Orlando, #Florida, attending the #TOP #HAT conference representing University Canada West. In the era of #AI, educators need to use technology but must maintain the #human connection and praise human creativity and critical thinking. #tophatengage

It is currently minus 2 degrees Fahrenheit here in MN, so like Sarah Rose Cavanagh I am particularly eager to head south to the highlight of my year, Top Hat's Engage conference. Not only do I get to soak up some wisdom from Sarah, but I get to hear directly how some of our most creative Top Hat users are helping more of their students succeed. And this year, I'll also have the opportunity to spend a half day with university leaders to explore new strategies for accelerating change at scale. I'm almost warm just thinking about it!

How can we harness the power of emotion to motivate our students? Dr. Sarah Rose Cavanagh, author of "The Spark of Learning," will share how in a special combined keynote and faculty workshop — only at Top Hat Engage. Join us from February 6–7 in Orlando for?#highered's premier event. Tickets are limited:?https://lnkd.in/eKUbdeaY #highereducation #facultydev
