Higher Education POD

By: UNK Center for Teaching Excellence
  • Summary

  • We talk about all things related to quality teaching in higher education classes by engaging in Pedagogically-Oriented Discourse (POD). A particular focus is given to providing teaching-based vocabulary, theory, and strategies in simple terms so instructors can consider new ways of connecting students to your content and so you can describe and justify these actions in your promotion and tenure packets.
