ACUE Announces Collaboration With Teaching in Higher Ed Podcast

The Association of College and University Educators (ACUE), an organization working with dozens of colleges and universities to put great teaching at the heart of their student success agenda, has announced a collaboration with Bonni Stachowiak and the Teaching in Higher Ed (TiHE) podcast.

As part of the collaboration, ACUE will be blogging about popular conversations, hosting expert Q&As, and adding sights to the sounds with video excerpts from ACUE’s course library. ACUE members and podcast fans alike can look forward to these free resources as part of ACUE’s upcoming Expert Dive series.

If you’re new to the TiHE podcast, check out this list of top 10 recommended episodes with a number of experts whose work is explored in detail in ACUE’s Course in Effective Teaching Practices. (To read the original post about the collaboration, see ACUE’s Q Blog.)
