Maybe we're cycling back to a new oral tradition, and the last few centuries of written literacy as the mark of scholarship will be a blip in human history. Not sure I'm ready to throw in the towel yet though. How can #AI assist #reading and #comprehension?

There is appropriate and inappropriate use of #AI for both students and faculty. Important to talk about how/when student use supports or undercuts learning; also how faculty use on low level tasks can open up time for more human interaction in our courses.

Some examples of custom #chatbots for instruction, where faculty are in control of how the tool supports their teaching and learning goals. The interview about #Cogniti about that faculty-led project had some good points.
