Fellow academics, I'm doing it. Going all in. Pulling the plug, literally.
This is on my syllabus for Spring 2026: "This is an analog class. No Canvas; this syllabus is your guide."
All readings are printed books; hand-written exams; no laptops. #academicbluesky #Highered #academia #Rutgers

It cannot be rolled
My heart is not a mat
It cannot be folded away

How do you create AI guidelines that support rather than undermine student learning?
I've developed AI_d—a prompt-activated chatbot that guides course instructors through creating pedagogically sound AI policies using learning frameworks like Bloom's Taxonomy, SAMR, and Cognitive Apprenticeship.

But what more might we discover if, instead of a human scholar, we asked generative AI to sift through every word Dylan ever wrote?
