AI as a Mass Extinction Event for Dead Ideas in Teaching and Learning? with Cynthia Alby
Over the past few months, Cynthia Alby (https://www.gcsu.edu/education/teached/faculty-staff#:~:text=Image-,Dr.%20Cynthia%20Alby,-GC%20Journeys), Professor of Teacher Education at Georgia College, has been focused on developing practical solutions in teaching and learning in response to the sudden emergence of generative AI. Through this work, she has realized that AI has, in one fell swoop, rendered an entire constellation of dead ideas in teaching and learning officially obsolete. The ideas that she has advocated for throughout her career, and in the book she co-authored, Learning That Matters: A Field Guide to Course Design for Transformative Education (2020), are becoming increasingly essential, and she believes that change is imminent. In this episode, Dr. Alby discusses why she believes AI will be the catalyst for the extinction of four big dead ideas in teaching and learning and how that will happen.
