This week were asked to provide a reflection on responses to questions we asked Dr. George Veletsianos on the topic of research. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the topics that Dr. Veletsianos commented on was how to participate productively and constructively in conversations about generative AI tools like Chat GPT. On this topic, he recommended that we stay away from framing this topic with a binary lens, and rather look at how AI tools are being used on the ground, in classrooms, instead of focussing too much on what they might be capable of. Predictions have always been made about how the latest technology of the time is going to influence society; sometimes predictions are wrong, and are simply best guesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another topic that Dr. Veletsianos commented on was open education and open learning. While acknowledging the opportunities that open learning can bring, and the benefits therein, he emphasized how he has come to appreciate the inequities that exist when it comes to accessing open learning. I found this comment resonated with me, as I thought of the move to “Zoom School” which many parents found themselves supporting their kids with during the COVID-19 pandemic. I think about articles I have read that mention this assumption that we can have about access to things like laptops, stable Wifi, private and safe places to learn, etc. In many cases, there is a privilege here that makes it a fallacy to say that online learning is accessible to “all.”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
