Let’s Shutdown the Government: An Instructional Game
Let’s Shutdown the Government: An Instructional Game By Michelle M. Buehlmann, University of North Dakota, Grand Forks In Let’s Shutdown the Government: An Instructional Game, Dr. Buehlmann argues that government shutdowns are the crisis in a negotiation strategy, commonly called brinkmanship. This game presents shutdowns as a tool to foster acquiescence and relies on the assumption that elected officials benefit when their actions align with public preferences.

Also, as a tangent, I'd love to see more of this kind of thing on #academicsky. More sharing of tools, ideas, and resources for teaching, not just endless doom amd gloom.
We should share our hard-won knowledge about pedagogy as eagerly and as often as we share our research!

Here you go! I'll write some new ones for this semester too. They loved them. The "read without your phone or screens in the room" was a revelation, and many of them decided to keep doing it. They had NO IDEA (& were horrified) how often they interrupt themselves to look at a phone for no reason.

This semester, I decided to experiment with having no word limit on my four hour final exam. I have learned my lesson.

Semesterly reminder to everyone - Canvas in many cases defaults to showing students the course's grade distribution and student's place on it.
If you *don't* want your students to be aware of where they "rank" at all times, take a second to double check it's turned off.

I used to teach a “how to do college” class to students on academic probation and I have good news!
This problem can be fixed with direct reading instruction at the university level. You have to teach them how to do phonics, how to navigate texts, how to take notes and how to interrogate a text.

Can interleaved retrieval practice enhance learning in classrooms? The unequivocal answer here is yes, especially when it comes to longer term retention. The results demonstrate a cost-effective strategy to promote classroom learning. #EduSky

@karencosta.bsky.social @empittsdonahoe.bsky.social Amazing discussion about our “active learning scope of practice” last week. We barely scratched the surface. One of those rare CTL golden moments when participants say, “We want more of this, please!” Here are a few highlights: /2

It's spring syllabus time! Anyone teaching courses with something on international security institutions? eg alliances, arms control, regimes (sanctions, counterterrorism), or institutional design with security cases? I am designing a new class and looking for ideas on good readings.

OpenAI's "moonshot" for education includes the creation of something it calls "study mode." The thing about study mode is that it's a complete f'ing joke.
