In the trailer of the AI for Educators Design Lab podcast, Jennifer Maddrell, a learning experience designer with a PhD in Instructional Design and Technology, introduces the show’s mission to help educators navigate the complexities of AI integration in teaching. Focusing on the balance between the exciting potentials and significant concerns of AI, Jennifer aims to foster reflection rather than offering quick fixes.
The first season will tackle pressing challenges such as academic integrity, AI literacy, and student privacy, offering design considerations and reflective questions to aid educators. Episodes will be released twice a month, along with a free companion Design Brief for deeper engagement, available on our website. Each Design Brief includes a synopsis of the episode’s core challenge, key design questions to examine in your own context, and a practical scaffold to help you think through the concepts covered in the podcast.
