Teaching with AI in Technical Courses with Jingjing Li

Questions or comments about this episode? Send us a text message.

In my new job at the University of Virginia, I recently met Jingjing Li, Andersen Alumni associate professor of commerce. Jingjing teaches business intelligence at both the undergraduate and Master’s levels, and her research interests include artificial intelligence and data analytics. She has conducted some very thoughtful experiments in her courses in using generative artificial intelligence to teach about machine learning in business analysis. 

In our interview, we talk about her scaffolded assignments, the metaphors her students use to describe working with generative AI, and the relationships between conceptual understanding and AI literacy.
