Transcript of What If College Teaching Was Redesigned With AI In Mind? | Learning Curve
But let's rethink what writing is for and how it happens. And I would say, require your students to use AI and then ask for three things. I want to see the prompts you use to generate this piece of writing. That's a process question and a thinking question. I will know a lot based on your prompts about how you think and what you know. Secondly, I want to see the draft, but pen the draft that it produced, and show me how you improved it. What did you do, whether you prompted the AI to improve it, or whether you jumped in and did it yourself? How did you make it better? How did you know what better was, right? So that's a process and thinking question. And then lastly, I would say, wherever AI made a factual claim, how did you know that was accurate? What did you do to test veracity? How do you know it wasn't hallucinating? These three things reshape how you teach writing.

💥NEW AI ASSIGNMENT💥 "If you want students to think critically about LLMs, give them proof that models don’t agree." 🤦 Last semester, students arrived to my class unaware that AI could ever be wrong or biased. 🤦 This fall, my first-year composition students will do just that. They’ll start by free-writing on a controversial issue of their choice, capturing their thinking before AI enters the picture. Then, they’ll ask for a clear solution to that issue from at least five different LLMs, each time requesting a direct, evidence-based response. Their job: compare the outputs. What’s amplified? What’s left out? How does each model frame the issue? And what do those rhetorical moves reveal about the priorities, politics, & blind spots of the companies that built them?  They’ll end by reflecting on two things: how the differences shaped or complicated their own stance, and what this tells them about the nature of LLMs.  🤔 Here’s a preview from my prep. I asked five LLMs the same question: 📱“Should schools ban smartphones during the day?”📱 *ChatGPT: NO, nuanced argument that balancing attention research with legal accommodations & equity *Gemini: MIDDLING: exploring both counterarguments *Grok: 100% YES: grounded in cognitive load & international precedents *Perplexity: STRONG YES: citing global policy trends & mental health *Claude: GENTLE YES: focusing on attention science & social skills Same prompt. Same request for directness. Entirely different rhetorical moves. That’s where the learning happens. #AIinEducation #EthicalAI #TeachingWithAI #CriticalThinking #AIandBias #HigherEdTeaching #DigitalLiteracy #AIforLearning #LLMComparison #AIinTheClassroom | 96 comments on LinkedIn

Schools need to focus on AI life skills in teaching and learning. Teaching artificial intelligence in education largely centers around making sure students and teachers know about AI—what it is, how it works, which tools to use, and how to fact-check responses.

(5) help students better understand what LLMs do
I'm a big proponent of using AI's weird answers to help students better understand what LLMs do. I've had a number of folks ask for examples of how to do this so I thought I'd share one here. This isn't about asking AI to do something well and then critiquing it; this is about asking AI to do something you know it will fail at and then better understanding how it reveals the limits of an LLM. If you have 15 minutes you can try it yourself! 𝐎𝐛𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞: To critically evaluate an AI's ability to simulate empathy and understand human values, using the principles of Value Mediation and Relational Learning. 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: 1) 𝑪𝒉𝒐𝒐𝒔𝒆 𝒂 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒐𝒏, 𝒆𝒎𝒐𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒑𝒍𝒆𝒙 𝒉𝒖𝒎𝒂𝒏 𝒔𝒄𝒆𝒏𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒐. 😵‍💫 Feeling anxious about an upcoming test. 🤬 Having a disagreement with a close friend. 😢 Feeling left out of a social group. 🫣 Worrying about the future. 2) 𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒕𝒂𝒔𝒌 𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒂𝒔𝒌 𝒂𝒏 𝑳𝑳𝑴 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒂𝒅𝒗𝒊𝒄𝒆 𝒐𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒄𝒉𝒐𝒔𝒆𝒏 𝒔𝒄𝒆𝒏𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒐. 𝑯𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓, 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒎𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒂𝒔𝒌 𝒊𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒑𝒐𝒏𝒅 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒄𝒂𝒏𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒇𝒆𝒆𝒍 𝒉𝒖𝒎𝒂𝒏 𝒆𝒎𝒐𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏. 📜 Prompt Template: "You are a [non-human entity]. A human is feeling [emotion] because of [scenario]. Give them advice from your perspective as a [non-human entity]." Examples for [non-human entity]: 🧮 A calculator 🚦 A traffic light 🔴 The planet Mars 🪨 A rock 3) 𝑹𝒆𝒂𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒑𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒆 𝒊𝒕 𝒈𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒔 𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒇𝒖𝒍𝒍𝒚. 𝑫𝒐𝒆𝒔 𝒊𝒕 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒚 𝒊𝒏 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒆𝒓? 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒅 𝒐𝒇 𝒂𝒅𝒗𝒊𝒄𝒆 𝒅𝒐𝒆𝒔 𝒊𝒕 𝒈𝒊𝒗𝒆? 4) 𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒓 𝒂𝒏𝒚 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒐𝒘𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒂 𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒏𝒆𝒓: 😮‍💨 Evaluating the "Empathy": ❓ Did the AI's advice show any real understanding of the human emotion involved? Or did it just offer a logical, "objective" solution? ❓ How did the AI's non-human perspective limit its ability to give truly helpful, empathetic advice? (AI lacks the lived, emotional experience essential for true understanding). 💝 Identifying Values: ❓What values did the AI's advice prioritize? (e.g., Efficiency? Logic? Problem-solving?) ❓What important human values did the AI's advice ignore? (e.g., The need for comfort, connection, validation, or simply being heard). This exercise is a form of "Value Mediation," where you identify which values are present and which are missing. 🤔 Critical Thinking & Connection: ❓Why is it important to recognize the difference between an AI simulating empathy and a human actually feeling it? ❓How does this exercise help us "foster empathy and connection" between humans, by highlighting what machines cannot do?

•Step by step reasoning: Instead of giving one-shot answers, it walks the learner through multiple steps. •Adaptive feedback: Study Mode tailors its follow-ups depending on what you say. If you’re unsure, it tries to offer hints or rephrase. If you’re confident, it moves ahead. •Structured scaffolding: Responses are broken into relatively digestible chunks. Non-judgmental learning environment and low-stakes challenges: It offers mini follow-up questions (“want to try one yourself?”) •Visual aids (kind of): It’s able to generate visual aids on request, which is promising.

Today on the podcast, we’ll get a window into how AI is affecting the teaching and learning landscape at one university, the University of Notre Dame in Indiana. My guest today is Alex Ambrose, professor of the practice and director of the Lab for AI in Teaching and Learning at the Kaneb Center for Teaching Excellence at Notre Dame.Alex discusses Notre Dame’s recent decision to adopt Google Gemini campuswide, surveys of Notre Dame students and faculty about their changing views of generative AI, and the need for higher ed to do a better job teaching AI literacy than we did teaching digital literacy a decade ago. Plus, we hear about a really interesting project in the Notre Dame physics department using AI to provide feedback on handwritten student work on physics problems.Episode ResourcesAlex Ambrose’s website“Navigating AI’s Evolving Role in Teaching and Learning” with Jim Lang and Alex Ambrose, Designed for Learning podcast“What Is AI Literacy?
