Curated Playlist by Clemson University’s Office of Teaching Effectiveness and Innovation
What is a curated Playlist?
Quick, Curated, and Ready-to-go
- Each playlist features a few short podcast episodes or videos — less than 60 minutes total — centered on a common theme or topic related to teaching.
- Listen on your commute, walk, or between classes.
We recommend that you listen with a place to take notes nearby, but safety first if you are listening in the car!
