If there were a Podcast focused on implementing and using AI in Higher Education, what topics would be most useful to you?

[BrianBoyd]

There are a lot of podcasts on AI. If you could customize a podcast focused on AI in Higher Ed, what would you like to hear? Any feedback on topics, length of episodes, frequency of episodes, types of guests?

I have read from a couple of different articles how some AI setups can be manipulated by the masses due to the adaptive learning mechanisms put in place within their programming. Such manipulations tend to create biases that in the long run cause issues with not just data analysis, but also things like distribution of services where AI controls such things. I would love to hear more on both this subject, as well as ways to perceive such biases and work around them if they are found.

Strategic and ethical promotion and adoption by institutions and faculty, student literacy, successful integration in the classroom and faculty/staff work, trends and tools on the horizon, what employers now expect from graduates in terms of AI skills, enhancements to tutoring, and other student services.

Thanks, @arnoldp! Just the feedback we were looking for. I appreciate your thoughtful response!

Teaching Business students the responsible use of AI, what AI skills Business students will need in their career and how to effectively teach them.

[BrianBoyd]

Love this, Bianka. Thanks!

How to leverage AI as a learning tool - to complement not replace other teaching approaches.  

[BrianBoyd]

Absolutely. Great topic, Barbara!

Great topic, Wendell. Thanks so much!

I would add that podcasts should be short and to the point.  Another idea would be to consider following up on questions your audience has sent in on prior podcasts, and then showing a quick demonstration. Frequency - weekly. 

[BrianBoyd]

Thanks, Elvia! This is exactly the kind of feedback I was hoping for. Frequency and duration are always tough to gauge. I like weekly. When you say "short," is 30 minutes too long? Love the idea of getting questions going between episodes and following up on questions. Thanks again!

Brian, 

Yes! I think 30 minutes or less is about right. Unless there is a more in-depth discussion that needs to be had, I am sure people are understandable.
