@unicasual	@JeffreyKeefer about 27,000 staff – union density above Oz average #AdjunctChat	5/20/14 17:10

@Acahacker	@JeffreyKeefer Good question. I’m a human geographer but as casual researcher, am currently involved in bits and pieces #AdjunctChat	5/20/14 17:12

@Comprof1	@fabianbanga @KateMfD @JeffreyKeefer That was me last week. #adjunctchat	5/20/14 17:12
@deborahbrian	@fabianbanga Hi Fabian – first time I’ve actually made it to #adjunctchat on time, I think!	5/20/14 17:12
@KateMfD	A1: Australia has its own slightly weird internal divisions between university types. See @deborahbrian “G08”. #adjunctchat	5/20/14 17:13
@JeffreyKeefer	@Acahacker OK, here is your challenge — can you explain human geography to a newbie in a single Tweet? #AdjunctChat	5/20/14 17:13
@Acahacker	@JeffreyKeefer WHS/ OHS, not for profit and corporate governance. And co-hosting CASA w/ @KateMfD #AdjunctChat	5/20/14 17:13
@lindathestar	I teach at a rural campus of a uni in two schools, Education and Health Sciences #AdjunctChat	5/20/14 17:13
@deborahbrian	@KateMfD definitely weird 😉 #adjunctchat	5/20/14 17:13
@unicasual	@Comprof1 @JeffreyKeefer we cover all academic and general/professional staff. #NTEU brought together 5 uni unions in 1993. #adjunctchat	5/20/14 17:13
@KateMfD	@UCUAnti_Cas @JeffreyKeefer Didn’t know that covered prisons too — is that the case in Australia, @NTEUNational? #AdjunctChat	5/20/14 17:13
@JeffreyKeefer	@deborahbrian Good thing online communities and chats are forgiving of “time” !! #AdjunctChat	5/20/14 17:14
@fabianbanga	@lindathestar hi Australia, welcome to #adjunctchat / Fabian from Berkeley, CA, USA	5/20/14 17:14

@JeffreyKeefer	Q2 What terms are used to describe instructors who are not employed on an ongoing basis? #AdjunctChat	5/20/14 17:15
@UCUAnti_Cas	RT @unicasual: @Comprof1 @JeffreyKeefer we cover all academic and general/professional staff. #NTEU brought together 5 uni unions in 1993. …	5/20/14 17:15
@Comprof1	@lindathestar Good point. I teach in small city but most students are from NYCity area. #adjunctchat	5/20/14 17:15
@KateMfD	@Comprof1 @Acahacker @JeffreyKeefer Is teaching across disciplines common for US adjuncts? #AdjunctChat?	5/20/14 17:15
@CAPAWca	@Comprof1 That’s part of our disciplinary “flexibility” – we teach across disciplines sometimes to survive #AdjunctChat	5/20/14 17:15
@NTEUNational	@KateMfD @UCUAnti_Cas @JeffreyKeefer no but we cover adult and community ed some TAFEs and research institutes #adjunctchat	5/20/14 17:16

@JeffreyKeefer	@lindathestar Welcome to #AdjunctChat!	5/20/14 17:18
@deborahbrian	A2 in Australia, we’re called “casual academics” or “sessional academics” or just “casuals” within #highered context #adjunctchat	5/20/14 17:18
@unicasual	@Comprof1 I’m curious about thatt too @Acahacker @JeffreyKeefer @KateMfD #adjunctchat	5/20/14 17:18
@Comprof1	@KateMfD @Acahacker @JeffreyKeefer It is in my experience. I was “internationalist” and “language” so in many depts. #adjunctchat	5/20/14 17:18
@Acahacker	@Comprof1 @JeffreyKeefer Cross-disciplinarian here too! You have to be I think, esp if working as a sessional (another term!) #AdjunctChat	5/20/14 17:18
@KateMfD	@JeffreyKeefer Here we use “sessional” academics and, very commonly, “casuals”. “Adjuncts” refers to something else. #AdjunctChat	5/20/14 17:18
@fabianbanga	@NTEUNational welcome to #adjunctchat @KateMfD @UCUAnti_Cas @JeffreyKeefer	5/20/14 17:18
@VCVaile	the smaller the campus, the more likely we’ll teach more areas, like good garden mules ~ ride, drive, plow, snake logs #adjunctchat	5/20/14 17:18
@Comprof1	@KateMfD @Acahacker @JeffreyKeefer Also helps to piece together enough work. #adjunctchat	5/20/14 17:18
@uniacademic	#AdjunctChat Q2 sessional, casual, temporary, precarious workers, disposable academics, ” the staff downstairs”	5/20/14 17:18
@Acahacker	@fabianbanga Absolutely. I love teaching but Money Talks #AdjunctChat	5/20/14 17:19
@JeffreyKeefer	A2 In the US, part-time instructors in higher education are usually called adjuncts #AdjunctChat!	5/20/14 17:19
@VCVaile	what term is best understood globally? #adjunctchat	5/20/14 17:19
@CAPAWca	A2; nomenclature differs by institution and collective agreement 1/2 #AdjunctChat	5/20/14 17:19
@deborahbrian	@fabianbanga in Australia, there are a small number of old, sandstone universities, and a larger number of new uni’s > #adjunctchat @KateMfD	5/20/14 17:19
@lindathestar	@Comprof1 Most of my students are from rural places & many refer rural city not capital city for uni. Lowish entry score #AdjunctChat	5/20/14 17:20
@CAPAWca	A2: some places part-time, sessional, and in Quebec charge(e)s de cours #adjunctchat	5/20/14 17:20
@Acahacker	@Comprof1 @KateMfD @JeffreyKeefer Yes, we’re always talking here bout our talents piecing together lil bits of contracts. #AdjunctChat	5/20/14 17:20
@JeffreyKeefer	A2 PT faculty in HE can also be part-time or sessional or even Visiting Faculty #AdjunctChat!	5/20/14 17:20
@CAPAWca	#AdjunctChat (in Canada, we don’t use the term adjunct commonly)	5/20/14 17:20
@KateMfD	Q2. Here “adjunct” refers often to a professional (e.g. doctor, lawyer) who also has an honorary teaching position #AdjunctChat	5/20/14 17:20

@Comprof1	@deborahbrian I have been “instructor” “adjunct” “term instructor” “visiting professor””lecturer” (I know last is unique to US) #adjunctchat	5/20/14 17:21
@lindathestar	@Comprof1 Not all courses have low entry req; some highly competitive. Makes common Heath Sci 1st yr complex to teach #AdjunctChat	5/20/14 17:21
@VCVaile	@KateMfD like Dozent in Germany #adjunctchat	5/20/14 17:21
@unicasual	@CAPAWca interesting. employment conditions vary much across nomenclature? #adjunctchat	5/20/14 17:21
@Acahacker	@Comprof1 @KateMfD @JeffreyKeefer I feel extremely lucky to be based in a discipline that really fits into so many others #AdjunctChat	5/20/14 17:21
@deborahbrian	@fabianbanga < not very different in function, but older ones more research-focused, more prestigious > #adjunctchat @KateMfD	5/20/14 17:22
@CAPAWca	#AdjunctChat as #badmin thrives on dividing us, perhaps arriving at a common term would be a way to promote definitional solidarity…	5/20/14 17:22
@KateMfD	@VCVaile Adjunct really doesn’t mean the same here, but to connect to you all we have to work with/around it. #AdjunctChat.	5/20/14 17:22
@UCUAnti_Cas	@JeffreyKeefer Q2 A ….also #casualised, #adjunctchat	5/20/14 17:22
@fabianbanga	@deborahbrian the separation here is between private and public / big differences @KateMfD #adjunctchat	5/20/14 17:22
@JeffreyKeefer	Q2 I did my PhD in the UK and interviewed doct cand around the world, as such I learned different terms for the “same” thing! #AdjunctChat!	5/20/14 17:22
@uniacademic	Can’t think of any other profession where workers are commonly tagged by employment status? #AdjunctChat	5/20/14 17:23

@JeffreyKeefer	While we are about to move on, feel free to continue discussing Q1 or Q2 as you join in! #AdjunctChat	5/20/14 17:25
@UCUAnti_Cas	@KateMfD @JeffreyKeefer Yes, but this usually refers to secure work – e.g. 0.5, 0.8 of a full time, secure contract #adjunctchat. Q2 A	5/20/14 17:25
@Acahacker	Q2 In Australia we refer to casuals, sessionals. Not adjuncts tho’- for us, refer to retired profs return’g to teach undergrad #AdjunctChat	5/20/14 17:25
@Comprof1	@deborahbrian A2 Also, difference between TA (teaching assistant) and adjunct in US. #adjunctchat	5/20/14 17:26
@JeffreyKeefer	Any other terms for part-time instructors or faculty? A2 #AdjunctChat	5/20/14 17:26
@CAPAWca	#AdjunctChat sometimes term can be misleading. Some contract staff hired for just a course, others for years.	5/20/14 17:26
@KateMfD	@fabianbanga @deborahbrian Ask us in two years’ time. Our government is keen on US models. #AdjunctChat	5/20/14 17:26
@JeffreyKeefer	Q3 How common is #Adjunctivism, or reliance on outsourcing to part-time instructors, where you are? #AdjunctChat	5/20/14 17:26
@Acahacker	@CAPAWca @unicasual Pay per course isn’t as common here. But it does happen. And when it does> much worse off. #AdjunctChat	5/20/14 17:27
@fabianbanga	@deborahbrian @deborahbrian Interesting! Definitely a national history and politic connection with this reality #adjunctchat @KateMfD	5/20/14 17:27
@KateMfD	@JeffreyKeefer A3 This is the common sense question, and it’s really hard to answer because of the way we count. @unicasual? #AdjunctChat	5/20/14 17:28
@CAPAWca	A3: Not as bad as US (yet) abt 50% of all u/g courses. We have good unionization rate #AdjunctChat	5/20/14 17:28
@deborahbrian	@Comprof1 yes, difference here is between casual academic (lecturer and course coordinator) and tutor (also casual role) #adjunctchat	5/20/14 17:28

** This #AdjunctChat will meet at 5:00pm EDT on Tues, May 20. Click HERE for timezone conversion **

The topic for this #AdjunctChat is:

“Global Experiences of Adjunct Faculty in Higher Education”

This chat is focused on global / international experiences of adjunct / contingent / part-time higher education teaching staff. As such, it will be led by an international group consisting of participants from Australia, the UK, Canada, and the US — Kate Bowles @KateMfD, UniCasual @unicasual, Karina @Acahacker, UCUAntiCasualisation @UCUAnti_Cas , CAPAW @CAPAWca, and Jeffrey Keefer @JeffreyKeefer.

You know what your experiences are like as an adjunct or part-time university instructor, but in a networked world you are not alone! In fact, the adjunct experience is something increasingly common across the globe, and that itself is the focus of this #AdjunctChat.

These are the questions that are intended to guide the synchronous discussion:

Q1 What country and institution type do you teach in? #AdjunctChat

Q2 What terms are used to describe instructors who are not employed on an ongoing basis? #AdjunctChat

Q3 How common is #Adjunctivism, or reliance on outsourcing to part-time instructors, where you are? #AdjunctChat

Q4 What strategies have adjuncts and casuals taken at your institution to improve employment conditions? #AdjunctChat

Q5 What opportunities exist sharing and networking globally? #AdjunctChat

Q6 What are some possible next steps? #AdjunctChat

All adjunct, contingent, part-time, visiting, and non-tenure track instructors, along with their allies, in higher education are welcome to this #AdjunctChat that will meet at 5:00pm EDT on Tues, May 20. Click HERE for timezone conversion.

Want to facilitate an #AdjunctChat? You do not have to be an expert on the topic, but rather somebody with an interest in something related to adjunct experiences who has a desire to facilitate a discussion. More information about it may be found at How Can I Facilitate an #AdjunctChat?

#AdjunctChat Topic May 13 ~ Does Technology Add To or Equalize the Adjunct’s Work? (with @JeffreyKeefer)

1 Reply

Twitter_Chat The topic for the #AdjunctChat on Tuesday, May 13 is:

Does Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) Add To or Equalize the Adjunct’s Work?

The chat will be facilitated by Jeffrey Keefer @JeffreyKeefer.

Many advocates of technology use in education, educational technology, or even technology enhanced learning, often claim that using these systems, apps, or programs helps us to better teach, facilitate, or enact learning. They connect teachers and students all while saving time and, ultimately, money.

But, is this really the case?

When adjuncts use or attempt to use technologies with their students, does it really help to connect and promote education in new ways while saving resources? Is it worth the efforts, given how many of them happen on the adjunct’s own (unpaid) time? This is the focus of the May 13 #AdjunctChat (4:00pm EDT).

These are the questions that are intended to guide the synchronous discussion:

Q1 Do you (attempt to) use technology with your students?

Q2 How do your students respond with it?

Q3 What successes have you found through using technology enhanced learning?

Q4 What challenges have you encountered?

Q5 Does using technology with your students add or save time or resources?

Q6 Is this all worth the effort?

All adjunct, contingent, part-time, visiting, and non-tenure track instructors, along with their allies, in higher education are welcome to #AdjunctChat on Tuesday, May 13, from 4:00-5:00pm EDT. Even if you do not readily fit into the above, #AdjunctChat is open to all!

@JeffreyKeefer	RT @npmaven: RT @rjhogue OK .. final question Q5) What other digital literacy skills do adjuncts need? #adjunctchat	5/6/2014 16:56
@Comprof1	@rjhogue I think knowing how to make your work portable from one context/location to another is important. #AdjunctChat	5/6/2014 16:56
@npmaven	@rjhogue So agree – especially when used to limit notion of what adults are capable of doing. #adjunctchat	5/6/2014 16:56

@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 @rjhogue Can you talk more about what you have in mind about this? #AdjunctChat	5/6/2014 16:57
@VCVaile	@rjhogue @npmaven same here! I’m 70…no patience w/ 50 somethings telling me they are too old to learn #adjunctchat	5/6/2014 16:57
@anamfores	@KateMfD @JeffreyKeefer @LitProfSuz Because this is all outside work, not part of the class & on your own, no? #AdjunctChat	5/6/2014 16:57

@Comprof1	@npmaven I choose 1 new tech a semester (more than that is overload) to try to learn/put into course. #AdjunctChat	5/6/2014 16:57
@npmaven	Great goal! RT @Comprof1 @npmaven I choose 1 new tech a semester (more than that is overload) to try to learn/put into course. #adjunctchat	5/6/2014 16:57
@VCVaile	@Comprof1 @npmaven yes, pacing makes a big diff #adjunctchat	5/6/2014 16:58
@KateMfD	@anamfores @JeffreyKeefer @LitProfSuz And using own resources. It’s a major pay-to-work zone. #AdjunctChat	5/6/2014 16:58
@rjhogue	What about digital media skill? PowerPoint? Prezi? #adjunctchat	5/6/2014 16:58
@LitProfSuz	@anamfores @KateMfD @JeffreyKeefer Yep. But I think it is better for the students #AdjunctChat	5/6/2014 16:58
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 Which was your most recent one? #AdjunctChat	5/6/2014 16:59

@LitProfSuz	@Charlesknight @KateMfD @JeffreyKeefer True. Though 1 of my uni’s requires computer access for entry & initial class on use. #AdjunctChat	5/6/2014 17:00
