<p>In this episode, we talk with Dr. Lucy Appert, Senior Director of Teaching Excellence &amp; Innovation at NYU Arts &amp; Science, and host of the new NYU Office of Teaching Excellence and Innovation’s podcast, <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/what-learning-looks-like/id1839490516" style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(17,85,204);">What Learning Looks Like</a>. As an academic with 25+ years of teaching experience and a deep commitment to student-centered practices, Lucy shared with us her insights on what learning truly means in an age of AI-driven "efficiency."</p><p>Together, we discuss a key problem in higher education: while educators may accept the messy, developmental nature of learning, students are being marketed an idealized reality where AI-supplemented education is frictionless and instantaneous. The What Learning Looks Like podcast offers a counter-messaging to this misleading EdTech and AI marketing. Instead, true learning involves struggle, synthesis, and personal transformation. Lucy also challenges one of higher education's most persistent “Dead Ideas”: that we cannot change. From pandemic pivots to new faculty communities exploring AI in the classroom, it is clear that higher education is very capable of fluctuation and change. </p><p></p><p>Explore the What Learning Looks Like podcast: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/what-learning-looks-like/id1839490516" style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(17,85,204);">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/what-learning-looks-like/id1839490516</a> </p><p></p><p>Other materials referenced in this episode: </p><p><a href="https://business.columbia.edu/samberg/teaching-strategies/learning-objectives-blooms-taxonomy" style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(17,85,204);">Learning Objectives &amp; Bloom’s Taxonomy</a></p><p></p>
