Higher Ed Heroes Seb Kaempf and Al Stark In ‘HigherEd Heroes’, we talk to some of the best teachers about ‘what works’ in their university classrooms in a down-to-earth, jargon-free, and non-technical manner. Our objective is to communicate practical advice from the bottom-up to a broad range of teachers about new ideas they may want to integrate into their classrooms and to stimulate open conversations about their everyday practice. Each episode explores what excites students to learn, what keeps them coming back for lectures, and what makes teaching fun for both teachers and students. We hope that you engage in these conversations and (like us) find something in them which inspires you to make small changes that may reward you and your students in big ways.‘ Higher Ed Heroes’ is convened by The University of Queensland's Dr Seb Kaempf and Dr Al Stark and produced by Anthony Frangi.

Joe Erpelding Like you, school transformation expert and innovator Joe Erpelding has seen the world of education reform defined in numerous ways over the years. Is it 1:1 technology? PBL? The four C’s? College and Career Ready? Is it really just another pendulum swing? Or, is there a different story? With over two decades of real-life, in-the-trenches learning experience, from Instructional Assistant to Campus Principal, his view is radically different. Joe shares with his peers that school transformation is about people and not about programs, fads or experts. Transformation happens in learning organizations that fail forward, are audacious, and provide proof. It’s how we should live our life. Joe Erpelding covers topics in K-12, HigherEd and life. Episodes uncover personal stories from students, parents, researchers and entrepreneurs, all with the common thread of trying to find their way. Listen in to gain insight. Learning: it's personal.
