There is obviously a difference between using an LMS to build a course and using an AI, but Hollis Robbins isn't completely wrong here. "You are not wrong to insist upon the principles of good teaching, like the importance of writing, human feedback, instilling a spirit of curiosity and discovery," writs Robbins. "But course management software, which ninety-nine percent of colleges and universities now use, violates all these principles." Like AI, the LMS promises to make the hard work easy. "Nobody is protesting Canvas because the laziest teachers love it. Canvas sells itself as a lazy-teaching technology." Now - maybe a lot of this work should be easy. But then, why not apply the same reasoning to the use of AI?
