- AI as a Learning Partner and Belonging Online | Dr Julie Lindsay, University of Southern Queensland
Welcome to the first episode of EngageOnAir: The Future of Learning, a new podcast from Engageli exploring the decisions behind better learning experiences.
Host Anita Chawla, Chief Customer Officer at Engageli, talks with Dr Julie Lindsay, education futurist and Senior Consultant in Technology Innovation at the University of Southern Queensland (UniSQ).
Drawing on her work in digital learning and global collaboration, Julie shares practical examples and candid reflections on helping students participate, connect and take ownership of their learning.
In this episode, we discuss:
• Changing student expectations around flexibility, choice and moving between on-campus and online learning.
• The role of asynchronous learning in supporting students across schedules, life commitments and time zones.
• Designing AI experiences that encourage students to question, practise and explore different perspectives.
• Julie’s “Sarcastic Socrates” chatbot and the place of curiosity and enjoyment in learning.
• AI role-play for teacher education and shared AI conversations that support group learning.
• Lessons from the University of Southern Queensland’s Beyond Blended pilot, including the challenges of participation and connection across campuses.
• Using collaborative spaces and reflective portfolios to help students build a sense of belonging.
Julie also shares her advice for educators and university leaders working through institutional barriers: keep experimenting, share your vision and make room for imagination. For educators, learning designers and higher education leaders, this conversation offers ideas to consider when designing flexible, collaborative learning experiences.

What makes a learning experience worth showing up for?
EngageOnAir: The Future of Learning is a podcast from Engageli about the decisions that shape how people learn, participate and…
connect.
Hosted by Anita Chawla, Chief Customer Success Officer at Engageli, the show brings educators and learning leaders together for candid conversations about teaching, student engagement, technology and data. We explore how AI is influencing education, what learners need from flexible and online learning, and how to build a sense of belonging wherever learning happens.
Through these conversations, we look at the everyday choices behind meaningful learning experiences. How do we encourage students to take an active part in their learning? What helps people collaborate and build connections online? And how can we support educators as they adapt their teaching to new expectations and possibilities?
Each episode offers perspectives and practical lessons to help you think through the choices facing your own classroom, institution or learning community. We make space for experiences, challenges and questions that deserve further discussion, exploring what educators are trying, what they’re learning and what others might take from their experience.
Whether you teach, design learning experiences or lead educational change, join us as we explore what better learning can look like and the steps we can take to make it happen.
