I am an expert on AI’s impact on higher education— at least in certain ways.
AI first hit my classroom in 2023, and I panicked. Since then I’ve spent many years figuring out what actually works in the classroom, in the research, and in faculty rooms.
I first noticed AI impacting my classroom in 2023. I dove head first into the research literature around AI in education and even started my own AI reading group with like minded people that still meets and bickers regularly. Over time, I adjusted pedagogically and found an approach that works for me. Investing this time in the reading club, along with holding a variety of roles in higher ed, has given me a broad base of knowledge when it comes to AI’s impact on higher education.
Since 2024 I’ve given talks and trainings both locally and online. These talks have been about AI’s impact on education in one way or another, and all of them have been aimed at empowering faculty to deal with the reality we’re in.
