A special episode, recorded in front of a live audience, featuring Dr. Jess Mitchell at eCampusOntario's TESS Conference. In the dicsussion, we module the use of a pedagogical podcasting tool kit (found here) as a way to create relational learning through course-centered podcasting.

This is for educators seeking to foster connection, inclusion, and student voice in any classroom setting. The transcript can be found here.

Alan Levine doesn't need two turntables to turn the tables on Terry Greene. Just a microphone! In this crossover episode, Alan Levine interviews Terry about Gettin' Air for the OEG Voices Podcast.

Dave returns to the show to chat about his new role at TRU, the trepidations of children with licenses to drive, and to scheme with Terry about starting a new cross-Canada instructional design/online learning community of practice. During the show these two quick thinkers could not think of a good name for it. However, immediately after, the man who coined the term MOOC does it again and calls it the Canadian Online Learning Discussions (COLD).

Ann shares her journey from studying Victorian literature to becoming a staunch advocate for accessibility in education.

Gettin' Air with Blair Niblett. Dr. Niblett is Associate Professor in the School of Education at Trent University. This episode was brought to you by Trent University's Centre for Teaching and Learning. The CTL produces a wonderful monthly newsletter called Teaching Notes and February's newsletter is focused on care and kindness in education. We thought an interview with Dr. Niblett, whose scholarship has love and care in pedagogy at its core, would be just the thing to include. As such, Blair's journey to enact an ethic of care as a pedagogical paradigm is central to the discussion.

Gettin' Air with Jon Dron. Professor Jon Dron is the Associate Dean, Learning & Assessment in the Faculty of Science and Technology at Athabasca University and a British National Teaching Fellow.

The Beaver Hating Online Community is represented, for example. In this episode, Dave tells us the story of bringing this book to life. Spoiler alert: It's must read material.

Gettin' Air with Kim English and Brent Bellamy. Kim and Brent join the show to chat about new hats that they are wearing in their work as educators at Trent University.

As you can guess, the process leads to "insightful, weird, and frequently delightful" products!

Gettin' Air with Heather Tillberg-Webb and Stephanie Moore. Heather & Stephanie join the show to discuss their new book Ethics and Educational Technology which walks readers through a sorely (until now) missing process of reflection (of our current practices), interrogation (of educational technologies) and ethical design. It is, as Bonni Stachowiak put it, a magnificent work.

Gettin' Air wth Dr Bea de los Arcos. This is a long overdue chat with legendary open educator Dr. Bea de los Arcos. Bea has worked in Open education for many years. Her journey has taken her from her home counrty of Spain, to the Open University (UK) and now the TU Delft in the Netherlands.
