#sotl — Public Fediverse posts

New preprint: I got 400 postgrad health management students to use generative AI in an assessment, rather than banning its use. An honest write-up of what worked and what didn't.

https://osf.io/preprints/edarxiv/js6kw_v1

The good: most students found it valuable. The structured scaffolding helped reduce anxiety for for adult learners who'd previously been told never to use AI for any assessments.

The less good: most students engaged instrumentally (Which tool is best? How do I prompt?) rather than critically (Which perspectives does this privilege? What are the equity implications? What is this missing?). A single assessment can help normalise AI engagement but probably can't develop deeper critical AI literacy on its own.

If you're designing courses this year and wrestling with AI integration, I hope the case study and design principles we lay out are useful. It's a preprint - feedback welcome.

🎙️ The desk of a podcaster 🙈
Had a wonderful conversation with Dr Mais Fatayer and Dr Julian Pakay, today, all about using OER to address teaching challenges and whether there are some things open ed can do that AI can’t 🤔

Keep an eye out for Julian’s episode of #SpeakingOfOpen coming soon to earbuds near you 🤩

I’m off to go translate all these notes into a legible format so we can get this episode to you before the month is out 🥳

Neue Publikation erschienen 📘

SoTL und Forschung in der Erziehungswissenschaft: Von der Lehre zur Forschung und wieder zurück

In meinem neuen Kapitel (Springer 2025) reflektiere ich kritisch die Wechselwirkungen zwischen disziplinärer Forschung & SoTL – anhand zweier Projekte zu Theoriebezug und Bildungstechnologie.

Guess who's got art in the upcoming 2026 Star Trek Ships of the Line calendar? I'm so thrilled this is finally shared publicly, there are SO many incredible artists featured in this edition and I'm just honored to get to be one of them! :starfleet_command: #startrek #SotL

Hot off the (virtual) presses! So excited to have this article published with ISSOTL's Teaching & Learning Inquiry journal - fruits of a research project that began waaaaay back in 2021!

Question for #edu scientists,

Who has meta-analyzed effects of case-based thinking on #criticalThinking?

I found meta-analyses from schools of #medicine, #dentistry, and #psychology, but not from other case-based programs like #law or #business.

#creativeHE current call for contribution is open

This academic year, our main focus is on creative assessment ideas/practices and contributions

The idea comes directly from members of the creativeHE community in association with the UK Media-Enhanced Learning Special Interest Group (MELSIG) and the Journal Open Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (oSoTL).

For more details look at the blog post: https://creativehecommunity.wordpress.com/2023/11/30/open-call-share-your-creative-assessment-ideas-practice-and-connect-with-others/

Educational researchers are erroneously interpreting non-significant results as the absence of an effect
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1747938X23000830
"of 528 statistically tested hypotheses, 253 (48%) were non-significant. Of these, 142 (56%) were erroneously interpreted to indicate the absence of an effect...For 97 (38%) of non-significant results, such misinterpretations were linked to potentially misguided implications for educational theory, practice, or policy."

Been thinking it's time to update my pinned bio post, so here goes:

Hi, thanks for stopping by my profile! I teach history in Higher Education.
#USHistory, #CivilWar, #19thCentury, #Antebellum, and #Aviation and #NASA history.

I also publish and create resources related to faculty development, online courses, and accessibility.
#EdTech, #InstructionalDesign, #Accessibility, #A11y, #LongCOVID, #InvisibleDisabilities, #OnlineLearning, #Gamification, #FacultyDevelopment, #CognitiveScience, #SoTL.

I'm here to follow and engage with your posts on these topics too:
#PetBirds, #Birds, #Photography, #Hiking, #Kayaking, #Nature, #Programming, #CSS, #JavaScript, and #HTML.

Colleagues get surprised when I say I enjoy “marking” and I always think that is because their focus is wrong; I see it as “giving feedback and feedforward” rather than just marking or grading. This blog has many excellent tips on providing effective #feedback and #feedforward - despite the clunky name. I think seeing the process for what it really is could help lecturers get more out of it. #SoTL

@naubinhorth Thank you. BTW I’m looking for ways to share what Kalyn Owens (chemistry) and I (early childhood) contributed to #SoTL years ago that documents the effect of co-construction of understanding, representing to learn, and the reciprocity of #documentation and #metacognition in first year general #chemistry. It’s free and been online at my site for 14 years now. Trouble is it needs a group to construct the meaning from a slide show of #visiblelearning Can’t just read it. #Learning

An interesting introduction to the "Scholarship of Teaching and Learning", or #sotl . I closed my Biology research lab after 15 years to focus my research on how to teach #Biology to undegraduate students (I have the same professor position). This text explains the different paths that one can take to become a researcher on teaching and learning: "Classroom assistance: the scientists turning the tools of their trade to education" #DBER https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-04509-3

Who is coming to #SMBE 23 in Italy? I will submit an abstract for the symposium "Science for everybody: education and outreach in molecular biology and evolution" organised by Tugce Bilgin Sonay and Debora Monego. We will see how it goes! #sotl #DBER #education #evolution https://www.smbe2023.org/
