Episode notes

Creating educational material like an open textbook requires effort and may result in a large word count. The questions in the content may not be perfect and can be refined over time. When compared to for-profit textbook companies, similar AI tools may have been used, but the quality of questions may still vary. It is essential to be cautious when evaluating and comparing educational materials.

C. Edward Watson talks about thinking with and about AI on episode 517 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.
