HiTech Podcast

Continuing the conversation on the LMS. Josh and Will have worked in this field for quite some time, so it's no surprise that their pros and cons list needed a second episode. After our convo, we open up some madness with a deep dive into the Miroverse-- or rather, all things Miro. This tool has been a team favorite for quite some time, so we're thrilled to finally give it a full episode. For more on our conversation, check out the episode page here.

Will makes his best effort to put his tinfoil hat away, but Josh eggs him on. Is anything new? We talk about the impact of the LMS on higher education with all of the data it contains. How do we use this data for pedagogy and not for policing? Our app for the day is Mentimeter: an app for live-classroom engagement or for asynchronous online content.

Josh and Will (and their surprise cohost?!) start a conversation off on cognitive dissonance. This topic proves a little fuzzy for them to agree on, but they work through the ideas that might impact your classroom experiences. After, that they gather around for a conversation on... Around. Around is a new video conferencing tool that focuses on the mood and experience of a virtual call. Most importantly, they make hybrid calls even better by cancelling out echo from any other devices that you're in the room with. For more on our conversation, check out the episode page here.

This week we chat with Robin Jeffers, one of Josh's colleagues, about Instructional Design: what is it, why, who, what, and all of the fun info. Robin's newer to the field, so it's a refreshing perspective of someone who transitioned from K-12 instruction to the Higher Education Instructional Design world. Then, she leaves us with some info on the wonderful Gimkit (Gim pronounced like Gimli not gym). For more information on these tools and our conversation, check out the episode page here.
