TEACHx 2024

As problems of educational inequity endure, powerful individuals and companies are seeking technological answers, often advocating for the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to solve these issues. In a Fall 2023 undergraduate course in the School of Education and Social Policy titled AI, Equity, and Public Education, students explored the past and present of technological solutions to persistent equity challenges in education, focusing on the perils and possibilities of AI. Attendees of this dynamic panel discussion featuring four undergraduate students and facilitated by the course teaching assistant will gain insights into what the students learned about AI and its impacts on education as well as other dimensions like the environment, labor, and democracy; how creative activities and authentic assessments supported students’ agency and learning; and ways to implement elements of the course in their own teaching contexts.
