Welcome!
The Wired Ivy Podcast is a labor of love. Dan and Kieran enjoy having conversations about online instruction and programs, and wanted an excuse to chat about these topics on a regular basis, together and with others. Since we both work virtually, live in different states, and have colleagues who are geographically scattered as well, we also miss having opportunities for informal interaction with other educators.

SEASON 2 – FALL 2020
S2E18 – Community Composition
Whether the subject matter is undergraduate poetry or graduate creative nonfiction, a writing class would appear, at first glance, to be almost perfectly suited to the virtual classroom. We’ve all read the novel and seen the film adaptation’s opening scene of an author, a libation for company, the muse for inspiration, and a laptop toContinue reading “S2E18 – Community Composition”
S2E17 – Field & Screen
With video conferencing fatigue taking a toll on students and faculty alike, what better time to consider adding some physically active learning assignments to your syllabus?

Isn’t unsettling oldContinue reading “S1E8 – Anytime, Anywhere”
S1E4 – A Quick Pivot
The novel coronavirus pandemic is disrupting families, communities, and workplaces everywhere. Famously, it’s disrupting higher education as well. Because for the foreseeable future we cannot gather in groups like classrooms, professors and students involuntarily had to move online. Emergency remote higher education is just that — a quick pivot. Still, we expect many professors adaptingContinue reading “S1E4 – A Quick Pivot”
S1E5 – Newly Minted
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused nearly all higher ed institutions in the U.S. to switch their campus-based courses to remote delivery, and on very short notice. Many, if not most, of the faculty teaching these courses had never taught virtually before and, in some cases, if they’d had a choice they might never have doneContinue reading “S1E5 – Newly Minted”
Wired Ivy’s Summer Shorts — REMIX
Welcome to Wired Ivy… Summer Shorts! Kieran here, and I’ve got a question for you… Does the room where it happens always have to be a room?

True, a printing press could be gleaned by a man of means and esteem, but with literacyContinue reading “Wired Ivy’s Summer Shorts — REMIX”
