Martin RundkvistAnybody know anyone who controls an endowed guest professorship or annual lecture (series)? One that could be manned with a fun and lively Swedish archaeologist? Please put my name forward!

Tom ScheinfeldtThis semester I taught my department’s required writing course. Instead of writing papers, each student had to research, script, record, and produce a four-episode podcast series on a digital culture topic of their choosing.Early on, I struggled with the worry that the students would simply ask an AI to write the narrative and then record it as their own.In the end, I don’t think many, if any, of my 19 students took their scripts wholesale from a bot.But even if they did (and I’m quite sure most of them used AI at least a little) the main thing is that they still HAD TO MAKE IT THEIR OWN. However they used AI, when they sat down to record, produce, and edit the episode, it was their own voice and affect, their own sense of humor or outrage.And if they’re learning to make text truly their own, then aren’t they learning to write? <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/pedagogy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pedagogy</a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AI</a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/humanities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#humanities</a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writing</a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/podcasting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#podcasting</a>
