Teaching in Higher Ed

Equip Students to Dialog Across Differences Using an AI Guide

Listen Later

Simon Cullen and Nicholas DiBella discuss how to equip students to dialog across differences using an AI Guide they’ve created on episode 560 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episode

Most of my students have not heard cogent arguments on the other side of whatever their own position is because they’ve been so siloed.

-Simon Cullen

In every one of these classes the point is to try and confront students with the strongest arguments I can find, ideally for the thing they don’t believe.

-Simon Cullen

The first thing they hear from me is if you wish to avoid the risk of being offended, then you should probably not be taking this class.

-Simon Cullen

In philosophy, we always embrace disagreement.

-Nicholas DiBella

We have designed the guide to be as neutral as possible.

-Nicholas DiBella
