How will the intersection of AI and education redefine the future of learning, and what steps must we take today to ensure that this future benefit everyone equally? And if you could sit down with Generative AI in an interview, what questions might you ask?

Tune into our latest episode of "Learning to AI" with Professor David Webster and ChatGPT, as we explore the transformative potential and challenges of integrating generative AI into academia. From personalising education to addressing ethical concerns and envisioning the university landscape of 2050, discover the role of AI in shaping a dynamic ecosystem of creativity, innovation, and lifelong learning. What future are we building, and is it one where technology serves the common good?

In Episode 31, we had a very special edition with four student guests who all shared their lightbulb moments, treasure island pedagogies/props and luxury items, which included career pathways, learning by way of teaching yourself, using generative AI, treasure hunts to connect theory with practice, physical objects, interactive polling and using discussion to aid learning. Tune in to hear more!

In this episode, Professor David Webster from the University of Liverpool talks to Professor Jon Dron of Athabasca University in Canada. They discuss the mood in Higher Education in relation to Generative Artificial Intelligence, and whether we should panic and how much. As both have a philosophy background there is some conversation about what might make us uniquely human, as well as well as what good things GAI might bring to learners. Jon discusses the decoupling of Learning and Assessment, and even gets in a plug for his (excellent) book: How Education Works: Teaching, Technology, and Technique. 

 

We close with an optimistic eye to the future and discuss Jon's notion of seeing AI not as a 'tool', but as a 'partner' and what that might mean.

In Episode 29, in addition to lightbulb moments, treasure island pedagogies/props and luxury items, our discussion covers gamification for learning as well as the use of laser pointers, a self-created AGILE tool for reflection and the technique called Creative Enquiry Methodologies.
