A Refreshing Podcast by Columbia University TLC

Time to reflect and challenge what you believe about teaching and learning!

A refreshing podcast by the Teaching and Learning Center of Columbia University in the City of New York.

“Welcome to Dead Ideas in Teaching and Learning, a new podcast hosted by CTL Executive Director, Catherine Ross. Our mission is to encourage instructors, students, and leaders in higher education to reflect on what they believe about teaching and learning. In each episode, guests are invited to share their discoveries of “dead ideas”—ideas that are not true but that are often widely believed and embedded in the pedagogical choices we make.

Conversations focus on dead ideas in topics such as grading, teaching with technology, student motivation, assessment, and neuromyths about learning, to name a few.”
