TOPcast ep127 "I anticipate a large shift towards hybrid learning, which is a mix of in-person and online instruction. My hope as well is that there's a greater focus on pedagogy and effective teaching practices in all modalities." - Dr. Nicole Johnson

We pay too much attention to the most confident voices—and too little attention to the most thoughtful ones. Certainty is not a sign of credibility. Speaking assertively is not a substitute for thinking deeply. It's better to learn from complex thinkers than smooth talkers.

TOPcast ep127 "[I]n our work, student advisory groups, student voices, and conferences, finding ways to keep anchoring down [to the lived experience of students] and not just kind of “them-ing” the students, is so important." - Thompson

TOPcast ep127 "[T]here's so much opportunity in the 360-degree world [of lived experiences] to engage students. I think online learning is uniquely positioned to do that because we have the entire internet and the entire world for us to explore with our students." - Cavanagh

On major life decisions, the purpose of seeking advice is not to get answers. It’s to gain perspective. No one knows what's best for you. They can only share what makes sense to them. The most important question to ask is not what you should do. It's what you might be missing.

TOPcast ep149 "Let the AI do what the AI does well. Let the humans do what the humans do well. We don't want to confuse those roles. We don't want to become more robotic and expect the AI to do what should be fundamentally human work." - Thompson

TOPcast ep149 "You have to look at the AI as a collaborator.... and you're only going to get out what you put in. So, you have to give it at least as much information in your prompt as you would a human collaborator that you were going to work with." - Cavanagh

TOPcast ep149 "It's perhaps... malpractice if we are not thinking about how... we train students on how to use [generative AI], because they're going to go into the workforce, and this is going to be an expectation that they're going to have within their profession." - Cavanagh
