I’ve been aggregating various links to articles or other sources about Artificial Intelligence (AI) as it relates to learning and instruction within this Padlet: Featured Image Photo by John Schaidler on Unsplash
In one of the courses I teach, students write a literature review (written in an academic APA writing style) on a topic of their choice and translate it into a different work for public consumption. The aim is to draw salient points from their analysis of the literature along with their concluding arguments and recommendations…
A colleague sent me a link to the 2019 book Artificial intelligence in education: promises and implications for teaching and learning ($15) by Wayne Holmes, Maya Bialik, and Charles Fadel. I just noticed Holmes also authored a brand new book, one of our optional course texts this semester, The ethics of artificial intelligence in education:…
A recent tweet by Hannah Snyder has me thinking about academic deadlines. I love them as an instructor, and I did as a student. So do most of the 220+ in her comments; mostly by teachers. However, some noted a move away from deadlines at their schools. Others noted allowing more flexibility. IMHO, my assignments…
Based on the literature review topics students have chosen this semester, I’m going to be learning a lot about the implications of our technology uses in education and recommendations for practice. Lots of interest in AI, but really pleased to see their desired interests in not only academic integrity but also improved assessment and practice…

Jen suggests it’s becoming necessary for teachers to, “build their capacity to design technology-rich instruction that meets the needs…

As we kick off a new semester, the university where I teach hosted an AI webinar today under the heading of “Navigating the Brave New World of Generative AI in Higher Education.” It was an informative session that came from a position of what could be described as a resigned curiosity. No one was seeking…
