Andrew Cross and Alyshahn Kara-Virani share about creating interactive experiences and shaping the future of teaching on episode 535 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.
Quotes from the episode
A lot of play science comes down to being a safe space to learn from each other, to see how people respond to what you put out there in the world without it being this critical life or death situation.
-Andrew Cross
People disproportionately remember experiences based on both the peaks and the valleys, and then also the ending experience.
-Andrew Cross
Encourage students to freely explore the content on their own. Sometimes that’s content, sometimes it’s a physical space. Turn them loose to go off and find something that they find interesting, a little bit of free choice learning.
-Andrew Cross
Status quo is our enemy too often.
-Andrew Cross
