Overview Overall, we really enjoyed reading Pod 6’s learning resource on climate change. It shows climate change in a way that felt organized, accessible, and meaningful for learners. The website guides learners through the topic step-by-step, which helps them build understanding of climate change, its causes, and the effects before providing resources that encourage learners…
Course Overview Artificial intelligence (AI) has been becoming more popular in today’s society, which has led to AI playing a larger role in everyday life, education, and workplaces. Despite the increased use of these AI tools, research shows that many people hold inaccurate understandings of what AI is and how it works. AI refers to…
Hi Kirsten, I really enjoyed reading your post and liked how you chose to add interaction. I like how included the TED-ED quiz but also went beyond that to have multiple levels of interaction. Your idea about the final scene about the young man playing Tetris at the end not only encourages reflection but also…
AI Misconceptions For this activity, I chose the video “Misconceptions About AI” by Mental Floss. The video explains several common misunderstandings about artificial intelligence and covers several examples for each. With the video being accessible online, only being a few minutes long, and for learners to watch and listen, it provides limited interaction on its own. Although…
Kaede’s blog post highlights the intentional thinking behind our blueprint. The way you framed overtrust and the myth of neutrality makes the purpose of the module feel focused and relevant. I especially appreciate how you emphasized that AI literacy goes beyond spotting errors and requires understanding how and why misinformation is produced. I also enjoyed…
Reducing Barriers to Support Learner Success As I reflect on our AI misconceptions blueprint, Universal Design encourages me to look for limitations in my designs and to include multiple means of engagement, expression, and representation (Universal Designs, 2026). The myth of the “average learner” challenged me to identify possible barriers that could interfere with learners…
After reading Kaede’s blog post on open pedagogies, it made me think about how openness could strengthen cooperative and inquiry-based learning when addressing AI misconceptions. I liked how learner agency was highlighted and how it connects to inquiry-based learning, especially when learners are encouraged to ask questions, investigate, and share their results instead of just…
Cooperative and Inquiry-Based Learning and AI Misconceptions Misconceptions about artificial intelligence (AI) are common occurrences, despite AI use becoming more popular in educational and workplace settings. With the many misconceptions about AI, it can be tricky to decide where to begin and how to get accurate information out there. Cooperative and inquiry-based learning strategies can…
Reading Khoa’s Blog about the online Chinese course that he did not finish, especially the way he broke down competence, autonomy, relatedness, and relevance as unmet needs, I related too. I agree that the combination of minimal feedback and rigid pacing would make it hard to feel motivated once the material started becoming more challenging….
Reflecting on my own experiences as a student has helped me better understand how the design of learning platforms can be supportive or discouraging on motivation over time. One learning experience that I started with high motivation but did not complete was teaching myself German as a teenager through technology-mediated tools. When I was 15,…
