SUMMARY:Teaching in the Age of AI: What matters most for learning?
DESCRIPTION:The Instructional Design\, Engagement and Support (IDEAS) grou
 p at UMass Amherst will host the online seminar “Teaching in the Age of A
 I: What Matters Most for Learning?”. The seminar will stream live on YouT
 ube.\n\nAI can provide answers in seconds\, generate ideas on demand and 
 offer guidance across a wide range of academic and personal challenges. H
 owever\, research suggests that AI can reinforce assumptions\, present un
 certain information with confidence and shape how people understand probl
 ems\, evaluate evidence and make decisions.\n\nThe seminar will begin wit
 h a case study examining reports of AI-related psychiatric harm and the q
 uestions they raise about how interactions with AI may influence beliefs\
 , behavior and mental health. Drawing on perspectives from journalism\, t
 echnology and higher education\, the panel will explore the broader impli
 cations for human judgment\, critical thinking\, teaching and learning.\n
 \nKey discussion topics will include:\n\nHow can instructors help student
 s critically evaluate not only the accuracy of AI-generated information\,
  but also the assumptions and perspectives embedded in its responses?How 
 can instructors distinguish between AI that supports learning and AI that
  replaces the thinking students need to develop themselves?\n\nSpeakers i
 nclude: Patricia Clarke\, technology editor at The Observer and a Pulitze
 r Center AI Accountability Fellow\; Miho Kubagawa\, head of strategic ini
 tiatives at The Rithm Project\; Caroline DeVane\, an instructor at UMass
