"In these instances, there is a wide gap between the content and the form in which that content is delivered. A person touts new age technology’s ability to connect people and to challenge traditional learning. But then they tell us to sit down, shut up, and listen to their 45-minute presentation with mind-numbing PowerPoint slides". This is one of the points I appreciated most in the issue. Honestly, I don't write and I don't have a background related to education, but this perception is very widespread and I perceived it very directly. Furthermore, there is a crucial point that in my opinion should be highlighted in what has been stated: "sometimes, instead of reinforcing, we should rethink". We often try to integrate new and old dynamics without thinking about the overall vision. This integration that you underlined, however, is an important process even if only to stimulate the rethinking of certain dynamics, especially in education.

I feel like the real attraction of this AI courseware has less to do with the students than the faculty. The more administrations can AI-ify the less they need professors, who are already outnumbered 2-1 in many institutions by administrators.
