TESTIMONIALS

Ethan Mollick’s compelling keynote. From disruption to opportunity: embracing the AI revolution, engaged over 400 members of our university community. This simultaneously disequilibrating and reassuring conversation provided an inviting gateway to our immersive week of virtual workshops exploring the pedagogical possibilities of Generative AI in our teaching and learning context. There has been a prolific outpouring of commentary on the impact of Generative AI on the higher education landscape. Mollick’s thought-provoking pieces have stood out for the clarity with which he translates rapidly shifting technology, and for his ability to move us beyond collective panic by sparking our scholarly curiosity and guiding us with productive ways to navigate this latest disruption. The members of our planning team appreciated his spirit of generosity in sharing resources we could disseminate, the breadth and richness of his illustrations, and we were impressed by how adept he was with live demos. As Mollick says in the tagline of his widely circulated piece, “The homework apocalypse,” Fall is going to be very different this year. Educators need to be ready.
