Feeling Stuck? Observe One of Your Peers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In my third year as a full-time professor of education, I can’t exactly say I’m stuck. But I’d be less than honest if I didn’t admit that I sometimes wonder whether my instructional habits have started defaulting to what’s comfortable rather than what’s most effective.

With the advent of generative AI, the ever-present device poses a ne

Read excerpt
Every semester, instructors hear some version of the same concern: “Students don’t have the attention spans they used to.” Yet those same students can spend hours watching videos, following sports, gaming, or exploring topics that interest them online. The issue may not be attention span itself. The issue may be whether students find enough value in what they encounter to continue engaging. This distinction matters because online instructors often devote enormous effort to developing content whi
