Oh no! Sounds terrifying. I hope it wasn't anything serious.

So sorry Sue. I just logged into BlueSky after a long time and this is the first post that caught my attention. I hope your mum is doing well now. Sending best wishes ๐Ÿ™

Great discussion. Thinking about how we implement some great ideas. How do we train students to utilise these technologies in a critical way that aids rather than hinders learning. #LTHEchat

Thanks @nurun.bsky.social ๐Ÿ™, the questions prompted a creative activity idea of using #GenAI. Plus crystallised the need to question the biases of these systems. Through that, education can be better. #LTHEChat

Interesting, I always fear that if we (ever) go to fast we get no meaningful learning. #LTHEchat

This has been such a stimulating discussion. Thank you to everyone who participated. I shall be reflecting on all the responses (golden nuggets in some!) Enjoy the rest of your evening everyone ๐Ÿ˜Š

Agreed. For better learning, I think the model needs to be trained in pedagogy and the module content. Integration with the curriculum, or at least teaching practice is the key. That said, when used properly, even free models can provide needed learning support, esp in high enrolment classes.

Q6 - Which part of a module/unit/delivery approach would you deliberately design for friction (slow thinking for dialogue) instead of fluency (quick completion), and why?

A5 #LTHEChat @nurun.bsky.social. I find that many UGs need to 1st understand learning isn't just about facts, but knowledge co-creation & where dialogic learning comes in in this process. Also prob how to discuss. Some may even need to be convinced that sharing will not hurt their grades.
October 1, 2025 at 7:47 PM
'Asking a good question goes a long way!' This has been my key takeaway message in an AI literacy workshop for students last week. It can set the course in motion for genuine learning through rich dialogue exchange in peer to peer learning or discussion between tutor and students.
October 1, 2025 at 7:55 PM
I have been applying that mindset too when using GenAI. I feel most of the models (I am referring to the ones available for free and not paid versions) are not yet that 'advanced' to be used as a learning partner but rather useful as a catalyst for learning.
October 1, 2025 at 7:52 PM
I do that myself and find it quite useful. Lately I have been experimenting with Comet as personal AI assistant. Still early days and I feel earlier models of ChatGPT and Claude performed much better before the updates were introduced.
October 1, 2025 at 7:45 PM
A4 #LTHEchat same here. Sometimes I find the process of crafting prompts and refining them iteratively for better responses in itself carries opportunities for dialogic learning with GenAI.
A4 I've learned that I need to craft my prompts so they are clear and contextual. I often have to refine my requests after the initial response because the responses are not always useful. It can be an iterative process #lthechat

Q4 - How have you used generative AIโ€”personally or professionallyโ€”to support your own dialogic learning, and what did you notice?

A3 Maybe the assessment should include a reflection on the dialogic learning process, how different iterations, the prompts and outputs improved and a critical evaluation of the final output (a discussion in class as a formative assessment should be used too) #LTHEChat

A3 #LTHEChat @nurun.bsky.social A clear understanding of why, when, and how GenAI are being used. Also need AI Fluency/Literacy/Competency--knowing the capabilities and limitations of the tool, and the ethical considerations in evaluating AI outputs.
October 1, 2025 at 7:24 PM
A3 #LTHEChat one strategy would be to being critical of retaining your 'inner voice' when using GenAI for dialogic learning. I find it useful when I begin a dialogue with GenAI with a question rather than a prompt.I found Socratic style use of GenAI chatbots effective to support dialogic learning.
