Cool moment of the day: I attended a session at #OLCAccelerate about microlectures & Pecha Kucha. When the presenter shared her references slide, I was surprised to see my Edutopia & Faculty Focus articles listed there! This was my first time seeing my work cited in someone's presentation!
Resources slide from an OLC Accelerate 2023 workshop about microlectures and Pecha Kucha. Two of the resources listed are articles that I wrote: Enhancing Flipped Learning with Microlectures (published in Edutopia) and Microelctures 101: What, Why, & How? (published in Faculty Focus).
