Great American NovelEpisode 16: Classics of American NoirSend us a textThe Great American Novel podcast is an ongoing discussion about the novels we hold up as significant achievements in our American literary culture. Additionally, we sometimes suggest novels who should break into the sometimes problematical canon and at other times we’ll suggest books which can be dropped from such lofty consideration. Your hosts are Kirk Curnutt and Scott Yarbrough, professors with little time and less sense who nonetheless enjoy a good book banter. For this 16th episode we went a different route and discuss a smorgasbord of fine American Noir, novel...2022-11-021h 20
Learning about Learning with JimS01E02 / Confidence VS CompetenceJohan asked this question on LinkedIn: I get it, competence is the goal and what makes you able to do whatever you want with a productive result. And obviously we don't want people with an inflated confidence as colleges or leaders. But aren't we throwing away confidence a bit too easily?
I explore this question, digging into some academic research to see what confidence and competence might mean for learning designers, trainers, and teachers.2022-01-1426 min
Learning about Learning with JimS01E01 / Spaced Repetition and STRESSNick asked: "Re: Novel and engaging learning experiences that help overcome the need for spaced repetition. What is a novel and engaging learning experience? So that we know we have designed one."

Learning about Learning with JimAdam Jacoby - Founder & Chief Steward of MiVoteDespondent at how little citizens’ voices were being heard and how little impact the average person could have in the way society was being run, an Australian entrepreneur by the name of Adam Jacoby decided to stop moaning on Twitter and start doing something about it.

Learning about Learning with JimFinnur Magnusson - CTO of the Crowdsourced Icelandic ConstitutionThis is possibly the famous example of evolved democracy and citizen participation the world has ever seen.

The result was a constitution accepted by almost 70% of the nation and deemed by many to be ‘enlightened’. Unfortunately the result was also an odd and obvious example of political gaming as the constitution was halted. But with new...2016-10-0855 min
