We keep up to date in so many different ways from conference attendance, article review, peer observation or peer discussions and also through audio resources such as podcasts. While there are a range of podcasts covering higher education, June 2024 marks 10 years of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast hosted by Bonni Stachowiak, Dean of Teaching and Learning at Vanguard University of Southern California, USA. It provides a varied selection of issues in HE with a search field by topic or guest, and with each episode lasting approximately 40 minutes, you can listen during a well-being break or on your daily commute. There are always great tips to take away from the podcast and recommendations in the show notes.
In recognition of its 10 years, we’ve identified a range of episodes relevant to the 2024 SALT Conference theme, “Engaging our students, Fostering Growth and Success”.
