EP-72: Dr. Tom Tobin - Alternative Academic Careers
Today, we are joined by Dr. Tom Tobin! Tom is a founding member of the Center for Teaching, Learning, & Mentoring (CTLM) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, as well as an internationally recognized scholar, author, and speaker on quality in technology-mediated education—especially copyright, evaluation of teaching practice, academic integrity, and accessibility/universal design for learning. In this episode, Tom will share with us alternative paths for academics to take. If you are feeling stuck and burned out with your current career, this episode will guide for what to do next! We also dive into ways of earning extra income as well as focusing on your portfolio.
