The Human Advantage

The full title of this course is The Human Advantage - Creativity, curriculum and assessment in an age of generative AI This course responds to the growing anxiety among educators that generative AI tools may replace creative thinking, originality, student effort and even the job of a teacher. Rather than positioning AI as a threat, the course re-frames creativity as the essential human capability that gives learning meaning, relevance, and integrity in an AI-rich world. By the end of the course, participants will be able to: - Explain why creativity is more important than ever in an AI-enabled world - Distinguish between AI-generated output and human creative thinking - Design learning tasks that prioritise process, originality, and student voice - Redesign assessment to value thinking, iteration, and reflection This course also examines how AI cannot replace the role of a teacher, because teaching is, at its core, a profoundly human profession.

This Course is AI Generated

This course is AI generated: the title says it all! I used a variety of AI tools to create this entire course on deepfakes and synthetic media to raise awareness about what is possible right now with these technologies. The course scripts were constructed using ChatGPT by providing our deepfake research agenda and my blog posts. Slides were generated with ChatGPT, and video and voiceovers with my HeyGen AI avatar. We need to talk about deepfakes.
