National Distance Learning Week 2024: The Intersection of AI and Online LearningDr. Thomas Morris, assistant provost for Digital and Online Learning, and Dr. Sonia Jones, an associate professor and AI ambassador for CETLA at Howard University, discuss debunking AI myths in higher education. They emphasize the importance of a learning mindset and the need to embrace AI as a tool rather than fearing it. They address common misconceptions, such as AI replacing human educators, facilitating cheating, and compromising privacy. Jones highlights the potential of AI for personalized learning and academic support while acknowledging the need for human guidance and ethical considerations. They also discuss the importance of critical thinking and fact-checking when using AI, as it's not infallible and can produce inaccurate or biased information. The podcast calls to action for educators to engage with AI, learn about its capabilities and limitations, and contribute to its ethical development.Guest: Sasonya Jones, Ed.D., Associate Professor and Program Coordinator, CETLA Al Ambassador, Higher Education Leadership and Policy Studies, Howard University School of EducationHost: Morris Thomas, Ph.D., PMP, Assistant Provost for Digital and Online Learning and Director of CETLA, Associate Professor of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies, Howard
