About the Course

This course explores the dynamic intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and education, particularly focusing on its implications for adult educators. It aims to dissect the dual perspectives on AI as both a potentially transformative educational tool and a perceived threat to traditional teaching roles. Through a critical examination of current technologies, perspective analysis and personal exploration, participants will engage in a comprehensive study of AI's role in shaping the future of education. The course is designed to equip educators with the knowledge and skills to critically assess the potential of AI to enhance teaching and learning while also considering the ethical, practical, and pedagogical challenges it presents.

Dea Kadolph
I really enjoyed this class. The content was thoughtful and the videos helped me take a closer look at what AI actually means to me and how it can work in my own classroom. I liked that the course encouraged reflection and made me think about both the benefits and challenges of using AI in education. It helped me understand the topic in a more grounded way and gave me ideas I can use moving forward. My only critique is that I wish the assignment requirements were listed directly in the weekly stream, since I had to go back to the syllabus many times to make sure I understood everything.

This class was insightful and practical. It helped me see AI as a supportive teaching tool, not a threat. I feel more confident using AI responsibly in my classroom.
Cynthia Shapiro
This class explored a highly relevant and timely topic in education. Lots of great videos and resources to explore, plus freedom to do my own exploration of AI tools that are out there.
