"New advances in artificial intelligence break news at such a rapid pace that many of us have difficulties keeping up. Dinuka Gunaratne gave a detailed summary of many different AI tools in his "Carpe Careers" article published in July; yet more tools will likely appear in the next months and years in an exponential explosion. How do we, as educators (new and established Ph.D.s) design curriculum and classes with these new AI tools being released every few weeks?"
"Make sure that your class is generative so that when you give an assignment, it reaches as far back as day one. A generative learning model is one in which each week is built upon the previous one, and in which a student is assessed on the knowledge they have cumulatively accrued. Hold interactive in-person activities in each class, building upon the previous assignments and content."
Rapid, frequent advances in artificial intelligence require curriculum flexibility and pedagogical approaches that emphasize personalized learning and core skills. Generative course design builds each week on previous material and assesses cumulative knowledge. Class time should be interactive and used for discussion rather than passive lecturing, including flipped-classroom strategies. Assignments should encourage original thought, critical analysis, problem-solving, teamwork, creativity, and curiosity, and be structured to limit straightforward AI completion. Course design can include options allowing students to choose whether to use AI, with assessment methods that fairly evaluate both groups. Instructors can also leverage AI tools to assist course design.
