A colleague sent me a link to the 2019 book Artificial intelligence in education: promises and implications for teaching and learning ($15) by Wayne Holmes, Maya Bialik, and Charles Fadel.

As we kick off a new semester, the university where I teach hosted an AI webinar today under the heading of “Navigating the Brave New World of Generative AI in Higher Education.” It was an informative session that came from a position of what could be described as a resigned curiosity. No one was seeking

In my course, we have a series of readings contemplating ethics in design. I highlight the following paragraph for student reflection and discussion as it does a good job of framing what we’re doing this semester from Moore (2014, p. 192): “In short, the application of design to ethics suggests that rather than identifying the
