The Future of Learning Podcast

In this episode of The Future of Learning Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Tiffany Snyder and Dr. Tasha Bleistein of Indiana Wesleyan University to explore what AI literacy looks like beyond the hype.Rather than focusing on urgency or fear, this conversation centers on faculty agency, institutional culture, and thoughtful change. Together, we unpack how AI literacy can be embedded into courses without overwhelming faculty, how integrity conversations can shift from enforcement to formation, and how institutions can cultivate ecosystems of support instead of one-time training events.From AI-enhanced course refresh institutes to discipline-specific innovation and human-centered policy design, this episode offers a grounded look at how higher education can respond to AI with clarity, care, and courage.If you're navigating AI in your own institution and wondering how to move from resistance to resilience this conversation is for you.👉🏻 Connect with Dr. Tasha Bleistein on Linkedin👉🏻 Connect with Dr. Tiffany Snyder on Linkedin👉🏻 Promotional links to support the podcast:​For HyperRealistic Voice Generation: Try ⁠ElevenLabs⁠​For HyperRealistic Image Generation: Try ⁠Leonardo AI⁠​For Free Video Generation and Video Editing: Try ⁠CapCut⁠​For AI-powered creative toolkit: Try ⁠Picsart⁠👉🏻 Connect with Matt Larcin on:​👨🏻‍💼 Follow Matt on ⁠LinkedIn⁠​🌐 Visit Matt's ⁠Website⁠ to learn more​📲 Follow ⁠Ed Tech Era⁠ on Instagram​🗞️ ⁠Subscribe⁠ to Age of AI in Higher Education Weekly Newsletter published by Matt Larcin
