Welcome back to the show! We hear a lot about students using AI to write papers and study, but what happens when the professors start bringing AI into the classroom?
Today, we are diving into a fascinating new report from Anthropic. They analyzed around 74,000 anonymized conversations from higher education professionals to see exactly how educators are using Claude.
It turns out, educators aren't just using it as a basic chatbot. They are acting as creators, using Claude Artifacts to build fully functional, interactive educational tools—think chemistry simulations, web-based escape rooms, and data visualisation dashboards.
But it's not all smooth sailing. While many teachers love using AI as a collaborative thought partner to design curricula and automate tedious admin work, there is a massive, contentious debate brewing over using AI to grade student work.
So, are robots taking over the grading pen? And how is AI forcing professors to completely rethink the traditional research paper? Grab your notebooks, because we're getting into it right now!
