Dr. Craig Hansen and Dr. Danny Liu (Professor at University of Sydney) discuss the challenges and opportunities of integrating AI technology in K-12 education. They emphasize the importance of responsible engagement with AI and the need to ensure that students graduate with the necessary knowledge and skills. The discussion touched on the two-lane approach to AI-proofing assignments in education, with lane one assessments requiring in-person verification and potentially involving the use of AI, while lane two assessments are open and involve the use of AI in a scaffolded manner.
They also explored the concept of implementing rules, access, familiarity, and trust (RAFT) to make generative AI work effectively in educational contexts. Additionally, they discussed the need to rethink learning outcomes, particularly the focus on content knowledge, in both higher education and K-12 education. Finally, they emphasized the importance of integrating the concept of "soul" alongside skills and knowledge in the learning process and the need for interdisciplinary collaboration to address complex global issues.
