Navigating AI in the Classroom: Teaching Students to Think Critically

With AI usage among students on the rise, how can educators ensure they’re fostering critical thinking rather than passive reliance? In this episode of the NACU podcast, we speak with Dr. Allison Seitchik, an associate professor of psychology at Merrimack College, who has been researching the ethical and effective integration of AI in education. Dr. Seitchik shares insights from her own learning journey, discusses the AI guide she developed, and offers practical advice for faculty navigating this rapidly evolving landscape.
