Andrew Cross and Alyshahn Kara-Virani share about creating interactive experiences and shaping the future of teaching on episode 535 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episode

Status quo is our enemy too often.

A lot of play science comes down to being a safe space to learn from each other, to see how people respond to what you put out there in the world without it being this critical life or death situation.
-Andrew Cross

People disproportionately remember experiences based on both the peaks and the valleys, and then also the ending experience.
-Andrew Cross

Encourage students to freely explore the content on their own. Sometimes that’s content, sometimes it’s a physical space. Turn them loose to go off and find something that they find interesting, a little bit of free choice learning.
