@drkevinrmcclure.com Thanks for your "Higher Ed Is Adrift" essay last month. It sparked a lot of good conversation on my podcast: intentionalteaching.buzzsprout.com/2069949/epis....

Today on the podcast, @bbarre.bsky.social @dewsbury.bsky.social and @empittsdonahoe.bsky.social join me for a "Take It or Leave It" panel. We discuss whether higher ed is adrift, institutional neutrality, and the coming(?) AI university. intentionalteaching.buzzsprout.com/2069949/epis...

Today on the podcast, another Take It or Leave It panel! Three amazing guests -- @liznorell.bsky.social, @bbarre.bsky.social, and Bryan Dewsbury -- discuss recent hot takes on teaching and learning. It's artificial binaries and deep discussion! intentionalteaching.buzzsprout.com/2069949/epis...

Wow! that is high praise coming from someone so skilled at workshops! It was fun, and really it’s the importance of the question that made the workshop so meaningful. Thanks to you all for caring enough to propose it!

As a midwesterner, I find all of this hilarious. But I have sympathy for parents!!

If the goal is to improve instruction to decrease “DFWs”, it should be only capturing outcomes related to learning or failure to learn, no?

I tend to think of DFW as trying to track unwanted, bad outcomes. So, in that context, drop doesn’t make sense. Students could drop for many reasons (they want to take another interesting course they heard about; the time doesn’t work for them; they need to take care of mom and drop to part time)
