really enjoyed this conversation with Christine Rodriguez and the work she is doing navigating #GenAI with her students & #faculty in #HigherEd aiedusimplified.substack.com/p/what-does-...

A dark gray title panel reads, “What does it mean to catch students learning with AI?” followed by “Part 1 of an interview with Christine Rodriguez,” “AIEDUSIMPLIFIED.SUBSTACK.COM,” and “AI + Education = Simplified.” Below is a close-up portrait of Rodriguez wearing black glasses and a blue top, with shoulder-length dark hair streaked with gray against a pale background.

Why YES, I did deliver a talk last week that combined my growing appreciation for #wrestling with the discourse around #GenAI in #HigherEd-and you can read about it here: aiedusimplified.substack.com/p/from-awake...

A clean promotional graphic on a white background features the headline, “From Awakening to Building: Liberal Arts ‘Next Moves’ for Teaching and Learning in the Age of AI,” centered at the top. Below it is a framed photograph of three professional wrestlers standing on the corner of a wrestling ring before a live audience in a venue with draped white fabric across the ceiling, visually reinforcing the article's wrestling metaphor. At the bottom, the graphic displays the branding “AI + Education = Simplified” and the URL “AIEDUSIMPLIFIED.SUBSTACK.COM.”

check out the second part of this great discussion about #GenAI #LegalEducation #AIPolicy in #HigherEd with Kirsten Davis! aiedusimplified.substack.com/p/were-all-h...

A dark green panel displays the quotation, “We’re all hungry for a way to do the right thing,” followed by “Part 2 of an interview with Kirsten Davis,” “AIEDUSIMPLIFIED.SUBSTACK.COM,” and “AI + Education = Simplified.” Below, a smiling woman with short brown hair, a dark jacket, patterned top, and gold necklace appears against a pale illustrated background containing books, leaves, a lightbulb, an open book, and abstract educational symbols.

A delightful interview with Kirsten Davis about #LawEducation, #GenAI, and building community... aiedusimplified.substack.com/p/i-built-th... #HigherEd #AIEdu

A head-and-shoulders portrait of Kirsten Davis smiling at the camera, wearing a black blazer, patterned top, gold necklace, and hoop earrings, with a softly blurred green outdoor background. Large white text overlays the lower half of the image with the quote, “I built those ethical constraints first, and then I started exploring what AI could do.” Additional text identifies it as “Part 1 of an interview with Kirsten Davis,” includes the series title AI + Education = Simplified, the website AIEDUSIMPLIFIED.SUBSTACK.COM, and a small bookmark icon appears in the lower-right corner.

Sharing a couple collective resources that I've been building or leaning on around #HigherEd & #GenAI including resources about policy, accusations of student usages, faculty cohort programs, accrediting changes regarding AI, & a few others....enjoy! aiedusimplified.substack.com/p/some-big-p...

The slide has a dark blue background with large white text reading “Some Big Picture Resources,” followed by the subtitle, “Some collective resources (& a free event!) to help make sense of AI in Higher Ed.” It includes the URL “AIEDUSIMPLIFIED.SUBSTACK.COM” and the tagline “AI + Education = Simplified.” The lower portion of the slide displays a screenshot of a Google Sheets document titled “AI Plagiarism Cases Collection,” showing a case inventory with columns for institution, record type, education level, and student level or program, including entries for Western University, Williams College, and Yale University.

A vertically formatted social media graphic features a dark blue panel with the quote: “I can put all the statements I want on my syllabus, but there’s chaos actually happening.” Beneath the quote are the text “AIEDUSIMPLIFIED.SUBSTACK.COM” and “AI + Education = Simplified.” The lower half of the image shows a head-and-shoulders portrait of a smiling woman with long brown hair, black-framed glasses, and a navy blazer against a dark, softly blurred background.

I recently listened to Cory Doctorow's new book on AI and decided to write about it for those that are interested... #HigherEd #AIEdu #GenAI aiedusimplified.substack.com/p/the-revers...

A dark rounded Substack preview card sits on a beige gradient background. The card shows a white book-cover image with large black title text, chromatic glitch effects, thin crack-like lines, and a small glossy horse-headed, human-bodied figure on the right. Below the cover, the card reads “The Reverse Centaur’s Guide to Life After AI by Cory Doctorow,” followed by “AI + Education = Simplified” and “AIEduSimplified.Substack.com.”

sharing part 3 of some thoughts that have been stirring in me the last few months as we look ahead at #AI in #HigherEd. aiedusimplified.substack.com/p/agents-age...

A vintage-style racetrack illustration shows many university-themed race cars crowded at a starting line, with grandstands, flags, and a control tower in the background. Large overlay text reads “Agents, Agency, and Action...” followed by “Academic Year 5 of AI is less than 3 months away...” and “AI + Education = Simplified.” The sepia tint, faded border, and dense racing composition frame academic AI adoption as a competitive starting-line moment.

in part 2, I try to articulate what we are asking of students in this moment & some of the challenges about that ask.. aiedusimplified.substack.com/p/the-audaci... #highered #GenAI #AIEdu

The image is split into two sections: a dark brown title panel reading “The Audacious Ask of Higher Education,” with subtitle text for Part 2 of a GenAI reflection series, and a lower panel showing a satirical real-estate-style webpage. The mock listing, labeled “Transformative Multi-Room Opportunity,” advertises a $48,000-per-year “major investment in an uncertain floor plan,” with blurred room images, question-mark thumbnails, locked rooms, and warnings such as “visible after enrollment.” The visual compares higher education to an expensive property listing where key details are vague, inaccessible, or deferred until after purchase.

Exploring where apathy & artifice already present in #HigherEd lead students to lean on #GenAI aiedusimplified.substack.com/p/apathies-a...

A monochrome, engraved-style illustration shows an oversized Roman-numeral clock above a classical university building surrounded by gears and machinery. Small human figures move along ramp-like pathways into and around the building, making the institutional system appear larger than the people within it. Visible text reads: “Apathies and Artifices in Education,” “Part 1 of piecing a few things together...,” “AI + Education = Simplified,” and “AIEDUSIMPLIFIED.SUBSTACK.COM.”

sharing this reflection about a new publication with Larry Davis on a framework for using #GenAI with #OER aiedusimplified.substack.com/p/new-public...

The top half has a dark slate background with centered white serif text: “New Publication: Expanding OER with GenAI,” followed by “A co-authored piece with a mentor, colleague, and friend, Larry Davis,” “AIEDUSIMPLIFIED.SUBSTACK.COM,” and “AI + Education = Simplified.” The bottom half shows a cropped presentation slide titled “Choose your step,” with a yellow-and-dark table listing OER+AI approaches: Curate, Contextualize, Co-create, Cultivate, Amplify, and Sustain; some description text on the right is cut off.

did a workshop last week about deciding when to use #GenAI in the writing & research process...adapted it into this for others to chew on: open.substack.com/pub/aiedusim... #Academia #AIEdu

A brass compass sits open on a sandy surface, with a blurred beach or shoreline in the background and muted gray-blue tones. White serif text reads, “What’s my line?” followed by a subtitle about figuring out boundaries for using AI in scholarship and research. Smaller text identifies “AI + Education = Simplified” and “AIEDUSIMPLIFIED.SUBSTACK.COM.”
