Our current instructional design approaches assume that access to expertise is scarce, expensive, and delayed. That’s why we “capture” disciplinary expertise in “content” – so we can economically provide access to expertise to learners. But what if access to expertise was abundant, cheap, and immediate? If your students have access to the internet,... See more

Remember that the art comes in editing after the invention, not before.
“Generative AI greatly reduces the degree to which access to expertise is an obstacle to education.”
