Educators should consider the “why” and “when” of AI use when considering integrating AI into their courses, writes Soroush Sabbaghan (University of Calgary). Sabbaghan argues that educators must consider the philosophical questions of why these tools are being used and when it is appropriate to use them. The answer to these questions, writes the author, is dependent on each situation and student and requires the educator to ensure that AI is not displacing the development of core skills. “It is time to stop defaulting to “how” and instead lead the conversation about the values that define when and why AI fits within meaningful and effective learning,” concludes Sabbaghan.
