There’s a lot of noise about AI in education these days. Yet, a wave of forward-thinking business professors is cutting through this buzz, using AI to invigorate their classrooms with the sound of engaged discourse and a diversity of student voices.
These professors assign their students to meet in online breakout groups as homework, engaging in AI-moderated small-group discussions. They then use insights from these sessions to lead more engaging and effective classroom discussions.
Hear about this method from Kelly Goldsmith, Professor of Marketing at Vanderbilt University, and Adam Kleinbaum, Professor at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth. Moderated by Steven Walters, award-winning podcaster and Co-Founder of Breakout Learning, the discussion will cover their impressions and how the approach intersects with their own research.
You will learn:
- The benefits of small-group discussions for different students and disciplines.
- A new approach that is increasing student engagement and the diversity of voices in classrooms.
- AI’s role in supporting, not supplanting, professors to enhance teaching and inspire students.
