How AI Can Support or Prevent True Learning With AI Strategist Justin Bruno

Welcome to another episode of Teach & Learn brought to you by D2L.

Our regular listeners will know that we have been diving into AI as of late. As this technology evolves so must the conversation. It’s our responsibility to continue to question, investigate, and examine as it becomes more and more ubiquitous—this isn’t the time to make assumptions about AI—especially when it comes to education. 

In this episode, your host Dr. Cristi Ford invites Justin Bruno, an AI Strategist at Michigan Virtual to join the conversation.

Justin Bruno encourages the responsible integration of AI tools in education but warns that educators must be vigilant to ensure it supports learning, rather than circumvents it.  Together, Cristi and Justin explore the following topics:  

•  Whether LLMs help or hinder learning
• AI in the classroom: practical benefits and strategies 
• How to prevent the use of AI from setting students up for failure
• How to ensure LLMs are used for enrichment and support, not as a crutch
