This is why I love using #CreativeCommons; then folks like my friend, Rhoan, can take something I made and turn it into something new that was equally provocative for me!

it was an incredible honor to be the inaugural Harold F. Wiley Keynote at the AI and Liberal Arts Symposium at Connecticut College.

Here are the text and slides of my talk: aiedusimplified.substack.com/p/the-sleep-...

#GenAI #LiberalArts #HigherEd #Academia
A slide titled “The Sleep of Liberal Arts Produces AI” features Francisco de Goya’s 1799 etching The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters on the left, showing a seated figure slumped over a desk while bats and owls swirl behind him in a dark, dreamlike scene. The right half of the slide has a blackboard-like background with white serif text displaying the title. In the lower-right corner are contact details for Lance Eaton, Ph.D., including an email address and a link to his Substack page, along with a Creative Commons license icon and QR code. A small caption below the image credits Wikimedia as the source.

2 years ago, I started my newsletter; been a fun & interesting time, looking forward to what's next on AI + EDU=Simplified!

#HigherEd #AIEDU #EdTech #Teaching #Learning #GenAI
A small vintage-style robot sits at a desk in front of a dark chalkboard that reads “AI + Edu Simplified.” The robot holds a pencil in one hand and a book in the other, with another open book floating beside it. A candle flame burns at the top of its head, symbolizing curiosity or reflection. The text over the image reads, “2 Years on the Substack — Looking back, looking around, looking ahead...
