The Science of Learning Meets AI

Lew Ludwig + Todd Zakrajsek uncover themes from The Science of Learning Meets AI on episode 619 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast. [divwrap class=”one-half first”] Quotes from the episode We could actually create an educational system. Not so that it deals with the problems we have with AI, but so that those problems are no longer relevant. -Todd Zakrajsek If you don’t have students attention, they can’t learn because if you don’t attend to something, you can’t learn it. -Todd Zakrajsek Keep in mind that you’re the expert. This is your assignment. You know what you’re doing, you know the content, so then you can judge what AI gives you, what works, and what still may need some work. -Lew Ludwig What this gets down to is backward design; we start with the learning goals. We should figure out how to assess them, and then decide if AI fits in that or not. -Lew Ludwig [/divwrap][divwrap class=”one-half”] Resources The Science of Learning Meets AI: A Practical Faculty Guide to Purposeful Integration, Student Engagement, and Ethical Practice, by Lewis D.
