About the series

Since 2020, the HigherEd Heroes podcast has focused on what teaching techniques work in the uni classroom and how small changes can improve student learning and engagement.

The podcast captures the kinds of informal conversations academics often have with colleagues about teaching—honest reflections, practical strategies and ideas that keep students motivated to learn.

Hosted by our colleagues Al Stark and Seb Kaempf, HigherEd Heroes focuses on real teaching experiences and approachable advice, shared in a conversational, jargon-free format. The aim is to spark ideas, encourage reflection, and support educators looking to enhance their teaching practice.

It has been ranked amongst the top 10% of education podcasts worldwide.
