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.

Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:

  • Analyze the potential of AI to transform educational practices, including personalized learning, assessment, and accessibility.
  • Evaluate the challenges and ethical considerations of integrating AI into educational settings, focusing on data privacy, bias, and the digital divide.
  • Develop strategies for leveraging AI technologies to complement traditional teaching methods and enhance student engagement and outcomes.
  • Critically assess arguments regarding AI as a threat to the teaching profession, including job displacement and the depersonalization of education.

As educators, one of the best ways to incorporate significant changes into our classroom is to learn about them. As with so many of us, I have heard what I consider "wild" rumors about AI being the end of education. This class gives educators a much more thoughtful view on AI and some great tools to use in the classroom.

This course provided unique insights into the use of AI in the classroom as well as the inherent challenges this new technology poses. Throughout the course, I was regularly questioning whether my preconceived notions of AI in the classroom were accurate and how I could safely and effectively incorporate this new tool to benefit not only my students, but myself! I strongly recommend this course to anyone who is hesitant about AI in the classroom or wants to learn more about how to incorporate it into their own practice!

This was a great class. Seeing where we use AI in our education system and where we are going was eye-opening. I honestly didn't realize how much AI we already use in our school system. After taking this class, I am very excited to integrate more AI and to find ways to facilitate it as a tool with my students. Very worth taking.
