How will AI alter the student experience? Experts weigh in
UNITED STATES Artificial intelligence and its implications for higher education are a hot topic right now. While global experts in higher education research and scholarship all agree that we need to address the impacts of AI technology on higher education pedagogy and the student experience, recognising the magnitude of the challenge is where the agreement ends.
OPINION: Why we need a socially responsible approach to ‘social reading’
College instructors feel frustrated when students don’t do the reading. We understand. Faculty want their students to succeed. There are few teaching experiences more awkward than questioning students about a reading assignment only to be met with silence. Yet a silent class — whether online or face-to-face — may not indicate lack of engagement or comprehension. It may reflect a lack of trust. Pandemic-era teaching has revived debate about print versus digital reading.

Advice | How to Prepare for the Next Phase of Hybrid Teaching
This article is excerpted from a new Chronicle special report, “The Future of Teaching: How the Classroom Is Being Transformed,” available in the Chronicle Store. Come fall, will college students be bustling through campus hallways, taking their seats in classrooms large and small? Or will those halls remain quiet as students continue to log on and join class from their dorms, apartments, or homes? Or both?
Who Chooses What Ed Tech to Buy for the College Classroom?
This year, plenty of faculty members - while struggling to use the learning-management system or online teaching tools - have puzzled over a larger question: How, or why, do administrators decide to invest in some tools and technologies, but not others? Decisions about educational technology can appear opaque to academics. On the flip side, the IT staff in charge of acquiring the technology may find faculty preferences in the classroom to be similarly hazy and ill-defined.
Advice | Faculty and Staff Don’t Trust One Another. How Do We Fix That?
One of the few welcome outcomes of Covid-19, and higher education’s rapid move to remote instruction, is that many faculty members are more aware than ever of who the staff members are and what we do.
2020 Year in Review: The Best Articles on Learning, Higher Education, and Technology
A family of mourning doves nested outside of my apartment during the spring of 2020. I found it cathartic to watch them grow and to see the babies fly the nest while sheltering in place. To look ahead, we must always look back. Year-end review posts and compilations are always among my favorite things to write because they are an opportunity to reflect and consider what kinds of articles, ideas, and questions influenced and drove my work.

2018 Year in Review: The Best Articles on Learning, Higher Education, and Technology
A year of learning, I look back on 2018 and my favorite reads (many of which I accessed while visiting and spending time in the Salt Lake City Public Library, pictured here). End-of-year lists are one of my favorite things to read in December. From year-end books to movies to podcasts, I love the process of compiling a huge “to-consume” list of things to catch up on before the new academic year begins. Just as fun as reading these lists is making one’s own.
Becoming Curatorial: How Designing a Class is Like Curating a Museum Exhibit
Museums are some of the most consistently fascinating and generative spaces for me, for they remind me that we can tell endless stories about the artifacts that define human life. From paintings and sculptures, to everyday objects like kitchen supplies and clothing, our histories can be told and re-told in variations that make the material traces of our existence continually wondrous to behold.
