After a hiatus of 6 months, we are returning with new episodes for our third season of Edumeasure. In this introduction, we discuss the reason for our pause in new episodes, and what we are planning for this season.

Edumeasure: Assessing Liberal Arts Education

In this episode we consider the ground rules for dealing with AI in our classrooms. What constitutes a responsible, creative response to the challenge of AI for teachers, students, and parents? We discuss the essential role that human agency should play in any successful engagement with AI --using it rather than it using you.

Edumeasure: Assessing Liberal Arts Education

What should teachers and students do about our society's sudden obsession with Artificial Intelligence? In this episode, we revisit our previous season's podcast on the topic, reflecting on the role that recent generative AI technologies (LLMs, ChatGPT, and related programs) should play in contemporary education. The speed and intensity with which AI technology has been inserted into our daily lives requires a thoughtful response from both teachers and students, if we are to use the technology rather than have the technology use us. The episode looks at why the current AI debate is so confusing. How we can rethink or reframe this issue to shape an intelligent response to its implicit challenges? This episode is the first of a two-part series.
