What if I let AI take over my teaching? I did that—in a real master's course. The results? GDPR practicalities, odd surprises, and unexpected (and expected) human value. Shared this at the Harvard–EduHK–Stanford Symposium in Hong Kong today. Slides: bit.ly/3GMSI0N

Having "not 100% right but somewhat" posts by and AI Tutor in my Moodle course has elicited unforeseen value: one of my co-lecturers that is more passive than me was prompted to intervene in response and that caused valuable interaction with students in the AI-initiated thread!

Exceedingly interesting paper and results from McGivney et al. "giving learners more control and agency may compete with the demand…to learn conceptual knowledge. Heightened agency…better…for other learning goals, like procedural skills and…intrinsic motivation and self-efficacy." 🧪 bit.ly/4hTs43Y

I have long held the belief that World War III started around 2012-13 and has been fought in the information space. It's a hybrid war. In 2021, one of my first TikToks was a warning that if the West and the United States didn't start fighting back, there would be nothing to fight for. 1/12
