Episode 001 - Reimagining Assignments in the AI Era

In the first episode of the Prof Talk Pod, Dr. Becky Achen, a professor at the University of Kansas and founder of The Engaged Professor, and Dr. Galen Clavio, professor and Associate Dean of Undergraduate Education at Indiana University, dive into the challenges and opportunities generative AI presents in higher education. They discuss how AI impacts teaching, the importance of adjusting assignments to encourage genuine learning, and strategies to integrate AI as a supportive tool rather than viewing it as an enemy. They emphasize the need for innovative assessment methods, collaboration among educators, and adapting teaching practices to enhance student engagement in the age of generative AI.
