I hate social media, but if you're a writer, artist, creator, etc., it's all about this. So I'm here for a while.

What It Means to ‘Hack College’
It’s about student engagement, sense-making, and the nature of learning.

Just finished “Hacking College” by @carlsonics.bsky.social and Ned Scott Laff. Should be required reading of all in higher education as we collectively fight to survive so that our country survives.

It’s not even Chanukah but the first gift arrived, thanks to “Hacking College” co-author Scott Carlson. I’m so psyched to dig into this important book on making college more meaningful and valuable for students.
And hey @JHUpress: nice cover too.

This was a really interesting interview
I sort of forgot that @carlsonics.bsky.social and I were talking for an interview, so I got a little free in this one, but I stand behind everything, and it was fun to kick around the implications of the ideas in More Than Words. www.chronicle.com/newsletter/t...

These are good points John. Melds well w the thoughts in the forthcoming “Hacking College” by @carlsonics.bsky.social and Ned Laff. @hopkinspress.bsky.social
In my experience, helping students understand the "why" underneath the purpose and design of your course goes a long way toward them orienting themselves toward learning, rather than checking a credit box. www.insidehighered.com/opinion/blog...
If you want student buy-in, you have to share the why
Students want to learn, but they’re not necessarily clear on what we’re teaching.
