Episode 45: AI Across the Curriculum with Gage Christianson

September 16, 2026

AI is already part of how students learn and how professionals work. The challenge for higher education is no longer simply deciding whether students should use it. Colleges must determine how to integrate AI intentionally while preserving the knowledge, judgment, and accountability that meaningful learning requires. 

In this episode, Gage Christianson, Program Director and Assistant Professor of Construction Management at the Milwaukee School of Engineering, joins host Arthur Takahashi to discuss MSOE鈥檚 approach to integrating AI across courses and degree programs. He shares how the university is supporting faculty, developing AI-focused learning experiences, and preparing students to evaluate AI-generated work rather than simply accepting its first answer.

The conversation explores when students need to develop foundational knowledge before relying more heavily on AI, why ethical use and disclosure matter, and why responsibility for the final product remains with the person using the tool. Gage also offers a practical starting point for faculty who want to incorporate AI without rebuilding an entire course.

Episode 44: Purpose, Play, and Student Motivation with Dr. Jesse Bishop

August 19, 2026

Why do capable students sometimes get stuck or disengage?

Dr. Jesse Bishop, Director of the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning at Georgia Highlands College, explores how purpose can become a driving force for motivation. Drawing on his experiences as a student, English professor, faculty developer, and soccer coach, he explains why students need to understand not only what they are being asked to do, but why the work matters beyond the course.

The conversation examines TiLT鈥檚 purpose, task, and criteria framework and the difference between productive challenge and the unproductive friction created by unclear assignments. Dr. Bishop also shares how he uses condensed LEGO Serious Play-inspired experiences to help faculty build, explain, and reflect on abstract ideas. The episode closes with a practical invitation: choose one assignment, identify what students should carry from it, and make that purpose visible.

Episode 43: Summer Shorts - Designing Learning Students Can Connect With

July 15, 2026

How can faculty design learning experiences that students can connect with, use, and access?

In this July Summer Short, we revisit three conversations that highlight the human side of course design. Dr. Bonni Stachowiak reminds us that effective teaching is rooted in presence and relationships, while also releasing faculty from the pressure to be everything to every student. Monica Cornetti explores how meaningful gamification goes beyond points, badges, and leaderboards by helping students see how course work connects to real life. Peter Berryman brings the conversation back to accessibility, offering practical ways faculty can begin improving course materials one document, syllabus, or course page at a time. 

The ideas shared this month point to practical design choices that can make a course feel more purposeful and easier for students to navigate. Whether you teach online or in person, this episode offers a brief reminder that good teaching is shaped not only by what we ask students to learn, but by how we help them find their way into the work.

Episode 42: Summer Shorts - Using AI to Support Practice, Feedback, and Engagement

June 17, 2026

What can AI make possible when faculty use it to support practice, feedback, and engagement?

In this June Summer Short, Andrew Everett looks back at three conversations from Speaking of Higher Ed that explore practical ways AI is shaping course design. Dr. David Wiley discusses how generative AI may change the future of open educational resources by moving beyond static textbook chapters and toward customized learning conversations. Dr. Rafael Pacheco shares how an AI-powered adaptive learning tool can give students immediate feedback and help them spend more time where they need it most. Arthur Takahashi, Jeff Mastromonico, and Andrew also revisit vibe coding as a low-risk way for faculty to begin using AI-assisted building for announcements, content pages, study guides, and interactive course materials.

Episode 41: Faculty Burnout, Recovery, and Reconnecting With Purpose with Dr. Patrice Buckner Jackson

May 20, 2026

What happens when the work you care about starts to wear you down?

Dr. Patrice Buckner Jackson, also known as Dr. PBJ, joins us for a conversation about faculty burnout, recovery, and reconnecting with purpose. Drawing from her own experience and her work as an educator, executive coach, speaker, and author of Disrupting Burnout: The Professional Woman鈥檚 Lifeline to Finding Purpose, Dr. Jackson helps define burnout as more than ordinary end-of-semester exhaustion.

The conversation explores compassion fatigue, boundaries, guilt around rest, and the pressure many faculty feel to keep going even when they need to stop. Dr. Jackson also shares practical ways faculty can reset their rhythm through daily rest, purposeful pauses, and time away from responsibilities before returning to the next semester.

Episode 40: Dr. Rafael Pacheco on Using AI to Personalize Learning

April 15, 2026

How can faculty use AI to make learning more personal without losing the human side of teaching? In this episode, Arthur Takahashi talks with Dr. Rafael Pacheco about the adaptive learning tool he developed to help students move through content at their own pace with immediate feedback, branching pathways, and opportunities to build confidence as they learn. Their conversation explores how AI can support more engaging and responsive teaching, why these tools should serve as a supplement rather than a replacement for strong instruction, and what faculty may need to prioritize as critical thinking and human judgment become even more important in higher education.

Episode 39: Bringing Gamification into Your Courses with Monica Cornetti

March 18, 2026

In this episode, Jeff Mastromonico talks with Monica Cornetti, President of Sententia Gamification, about what it really means to bring gamification into higher education. Their conversation moves beyond the common idea that gamification is simply about points, badges, or leaderboards. Instead, Monica explains why meaningful gamification begins with relevance, clear purpose, visible progress, and helping students connect course work to what they will actually do beyond the classroom.

Jeff and Monica also explore why gameful design can capture attention in ways traditional instruction often does not. They discuss how roles, consequences, progression, and narrative can help students engage more deeply with learning, and why safe failure matters when students are trying to build competence rather than simply protect a grade. The episode also addresses the limits of shallow add-ons and why attempts to dress up weak design still fall flat when they do not improve the learning experience itself.

The conversation is especially useful for faculty who are interested in gamification but are not sure where to begin. Monica shares practical ways to start small, including making progress more visible and thinking carefully about how course design supports motivation, fairness, and meaningful participation.

Episode 38: Vibe Coding in Higher Ed: Practical Course Builds with AI

February 18, 2026

In this episode, you will hear how we are using 鈥渧ibe coding鈥� (coding by conversation with generative AI) to build interactive learning elements for courses in D2L Brightspace. We talk through what this approach can do well, where it can cause problems, and how to keep the work grounded in good instructional practice.

We also share the guardrails that matter most: start with clear learning goals, test often, and treat accessibility as a requirement from the beginning. Along the way, we discuss common trouble spots, including color contrast, revisions that unintentionally break what was working, and why it helps to document and maintain code so it remains usable over time.

This is a visual episode with demonstrations, including a gamified misinformation activity built with Gemini, a faculty-informed physical therapy simulation built with ChatGPT (including AI-assisted image prompting), and a quick example of using AI to create a clean HTML announcement you can adapt for your LMS.
