AI and Origami: Responding to New Challenges with Old Techniques

In this latest Think Education podcast, Judith and Chris continue their previous conversation about resilience and change, but with a focus on the use of technology in education – particularly AI.

Chris reflected on a conference he chaired - The 2nd Global Conference on Research in Education and Research (GCEL 2024) – this past week in Dubai, and talked about the challenges some participants had faced due to the floods in the UAE. The sheer value of academic engagement and interaction was never more fully evident!

One of the presentations, talked about the use of origami in teaching mathematics – by way of encouraging creativity. One of the audience members remarked that this was at least one teaching/assessment method that AI could not be used to subvert! This led Judith and Chris down the verbal pathway of AI, cheating, creativity and technology usage, acceptance and distrust.

We talked about the role of AI in higher education and our response to new technologies more broadly. Why are we threatened by it? What does this say about AI and about ourselves?

We are eager to continue this conversation with colleagues engaged in the use of technology and to learn more about views on creativity. If you are interested in joining a conversation about this, please do let us know.
