Equip Students to Dialog Across Differences Using an AI Guide
Simon Cullen and Nicholas DiBella discuss how to equip students to dialog across differences using an AI Guide they’ve created on episode 560 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.
Quotes from the episode
Most of my students have not heard cogent arguments on the other side of whatever they whatever their own position is because they've been so siloed.
-Simon Cullen
In every one of these classes the point is to try and confront students with the strongest arguments I can find, ideally for the thing they don't believe.
-Simon Cullen
The first thing they hear from me is if you wish to avoid the risk of being offended, then you should probably not be taking this class.
-Simon Cullen
In philosophy, we always embrace disagreement.
-Nicholas DiBella
We have designed the guide is to be as neutral as possible.
-Nicholas DiBella
