Welcome to the Vanderbilt University Center for Teaching podcast, part of the Center's efforts to cultivate dialogue about university teaching and learning among faculty, students, and staff. Most episodes feature interviews with Vanderbilt faculty members sharing their teaching experiences. The podcast is currently produced by Derek Bruff, Assistant Director, and David Hall, Student Assistant. We encourage you to leave comments or questions about podcast episodes on our podcast home page, blogs.vanderbilt.edu/cftpodcast. We hope to use this podcast as a means to encourage lively discussion about teaching and learning at Vanderbilt.
