My overall approach to AI in teaching and learning is using it as a collaborator, not as a creator. AI works best if you come to it with some expertise, whether that is general field expertise or discipline-specific expertise.

My students are very busy, juggling multiple responsibilities. For them, school is another responsibility layered on top of family commitments and full-time jobs. I see AI as a tool that could enhance and reduce efficiencies, as well as serve as a collaborator. It can improve the quality of outcomes because it encourages deeper thinking through collaboration.
AI can help challenge this by providing alternative perspectives. Whether you are a student or a faculty member, approaching AI with background knowledge puts you in control; you are in charge, you are making the decisions, you are birthing the ideas, and selecting different AI tools to act as collaborators.
