Great conversation today as we explored a potential #AI future for higher education.

Lots of great questions, ideas, reactions:
#FTTE

How might academia respond to the next wave of #AI ?

This Thursday Brent Anders and I will lead a Forum workshop with a scenario about a potential 2024. Participants get to role play how higher ed reacts.

Join us for the experiment!

(What exactly is that next AI wave? We're not telling until the session begins!)

The article is "How do we respond to generative AI in education? Open educational practices give us a framework for an ongoing process" and appeared in the Journal of Applied Learning & Teaching:

#FTTE

What does the open education experience tell us about connecting #AI and higher education?

Tomorrow I'm delighted to host the authors of a fine paper on the topic: Anna Mills, Lance Eaton, and Forum favorite Maha Bali.

I'm trying something new on Thursday.
For my regular video program (the Future Trends Forum) I'm hosting a design thinking exercise. The goal: redesign higher education for the climate crisis.
The theme: #solarpunk .

After introducing solarpunk, we'll do two small group->report back rounds, one looking at rethinking the physical campus, the other reimagining the institution.

It's an experiment:

I'm very excited to host historian Jelani Favors to discuss historically black colleges and universities, a sector of American higher education which doesn't get nearly enough attention.
