๐ Is AI the missing piece in your course design?
In the latest Professor Game Podcast, I had an energizing conversation with Dr. Matt Metzgar, author of The Overnight AI Educator. He shares how he's helping educators redesign their courses in just 24 hours using AIโno burnout, no tech overwhelm. And the best part? Students are more engaged than ever. Hereโs what we covered: ๐น Why old-school assessments are killing motivation ๐น How to bring AI into your course (without losing your mind) ๐น A simple 5-step framework that works fast ๐ Now Iโd love to hear from YOU: Have you tried using AI in your classroom, course, or program design? โก๏ธ Drop a comment and let us know whatโs worked (or whatโs still confusing)! Letโs swap ideas and experiences ๐

@Rob Alvarez Like @Blair Stevenson Says you really listen when the other person is speaking. Personally, when I was still in the teaching space, teaching actual students, I used AI a lot. This was when it first came out; it was a bit rough, then, because I would also need to proofread like crazy, but it was still worth it. It helped me create engaging assessments faster. I just needed to have the idea, and then AI does the rest. I give it a skeleton, AI just adds the flesh, and I just proofread to make sure there's no holes in the flesh so to say. I got like almost a year's work done in like two or three months. It was insane. It was a lovely period, though, before I left the teaching profession.

Would you rather: get 100 paying members in 1 year or 50 in 3 months?
I'm curious, what do you think? I'll be reading the comments and answer myself after a while.

@Rob Alvarez It's a great question, and I would have to agree with @Mathew Georghiou on this one. I would have enough chance to iterate over the next 9 months and probably still keep a good chunk of the 50, but I'd have learned so much more in a faster time frame and get more frequent feedback loops because more people are in the community than just like 10 every month.

@Lisa Ann True, we do have to keep in mind the quality of managing the community, but I think 50members would be okay to manage. Looking at current community trends, like in super active communities, you have maybe like 20% of the total number of people in there that are actually very active. So thats like 10 ish people really.

Quick Check-In: What Are You Building?๐๏ธ๐๏ธ๐๏ธ
Iโve been in this community for a while now, and one thing Iโve noticed is weโve got a really good mix of people in here โSome just starting outโฆ others already seeing solid tractionโฆ and a few quietly building big things. I'm curious what you're all working on. Drop your answers below ๐: 1. What are you working on right now? 2. If this group could help with one thing this month, what would it be? Letโs get a little loud in here again ๐

@Lisa Ann It's good you have a couple of contents already. You can start posting them now on the internet and create a new YouTube channel, just put it on as Private videos to get the momentum and get used to it. When you're fully ready in winter, you can either make them private or you can even upload right now, making those videos private. During winter, you can edit them and then re-upload as you did in summer. The best part its completely free.

What are you really good at?
I'd like to get to know more of each of you, and perhaps figure out ways we can help each other, so lets share what we are really good at! Let us know in the comments.

@Blair Stevenson That's super cool. Are you planning to build a community around that, or something else?

@Blair Stevenson @Rob Alvarez Good point. Thanks a lot guys. I just have to get started first. Warm introductions seems like a good place to start using my current network.

Coffee chat nostalgia, and another name for the goldilocks experience ๐ค
Great call with @Rob Alvarez & @Aaron Gold todayโฆ already looking forward to the next oneโฆ which says alot because I need to set an early morning alarm to make it (and I donโt do that easily for just anything! ๐) We learned that the technical name of the goldilocks experience in a game or challenge isโฆ โFlow Theoryโ (which is the โjust rightโ sweet spot between too hard and too easy) Reminisced about our early game memories to which we all shared some common ones even though the three of us represented three different generations :) ๐ฆ๐พ๐จ๐ป๐ต๐ป But now Iโm curious about otherโs early game memoriesโฆ And who do you remember playing the most games with?? For me it was lots of puzzles, dice, card games and word games. Mostly with my grandmother and my sister. (I was pretty much โallergicโ to anything sports related! ๐) I also remember really enjoying a game called Payday. (as a kid anywayโฆ then it became all to real and not quite as fun anymore ๐)

Yeah, it was definitely a great call. I was super excited to be on a call with two other generations. Otherwise, it was a very good call. I'd definitely love to hear other people's early game child memories and what exactly made it stick for them. @Lisa Ann
