Stephen Downes

Knowledge, Learning, Community

Maha Bali offers six suggestions for ways to adapt courses and assessments to the new reality of large learning models, including "having a lot of the written work be about reflecting on an actual real-life authentic experience students had" and "hav(ing) some form of oral discussion around important work students have written." It's important not to lose all other considerations while adapting to AI, though. I wouldn't want my work (and especially my assessed work) to delve too deeply into my own personal experiences; I like to keep a separation between my private life and my education. And for many students the requirement to have an 'oral discussion' can be challenging if they're uncomfortable in non-formal group settings. Forcing learning into certain specific modes in order to address AI may risk reversing some of the gains made in access and equity.
