About this listen
In this episode, we are in conversation with Dr. James Lang or Jim as we will refer to him to discuss small teaching, its relevance in higher education, the importance of contextualized knowledge in deep thinking and what small teaching practices are applicable in the age of online learning and AI. This episode's discussion revolves a lot around Jim's book on Small Teaching: Everyday Lessons from the Science of Learning (2nd Edition, Jossey-Bass, 2021), which emphasizes how to "spark positive change in higher education through small but powerful modifications to our course design and teaching practices.” Jim has written extensively on various aspects of teaching in higher education. He is the author of six books, the most recent of which are Distracted: Why Students Can’t Focus and What You Can Do About It (Basic Books, 2020) and You can find more of Jim's writing on his website: https://www.jamesmlang.com.
