Many of the AI literacy teachings say working with AI is a matter of telling it precisely what you want, what your context is, and vetting whether the output is correct.
Great article! Any ideas about how your suggestions could be scaled? My undergrad classes typically have 80-90 students. It feels like AI could help with the scaling, but I’d have to give the idea more thought. Thanks!
Happy to talk about this but I don't know enough of your situation to say, like what your course tries to accomplish and where are the existing pain points for you and students.
A couple of things I would try. One is to provide your course materials, or at least a syllabus and description of learning objectives, and have a discussion about how to make it more problem solving focused. It might, for example, help pick out a complex problem(s) to frame the course around, but pick it appropriately so the existing content still gets covered but in a less linear way. Another is to treat the entire course as solving the challenge "Help me engineer this course so that it is more effective in the future." They are then not only having to learn the material, but learn the best ways to learn the material.
