About the Podcast Design Briefs

The following Design Briefs are companions to Next Path Design’s AI for Educators | Design Lab podcast series, which explores AI integration as a design challenge that requires an educator’s professional judgment, contextual awareness, and ethical considerations. Each Design Brief explores the tensions and trade-offs associated with teaching and learning in the age of AI and provides approaches to consider AI integration in your own context with your own learners.

Hosted by: Jennifer Maddrell, PhD at Next Path Design
