Further AI Innovations: Happy One Year Anniversary, Innovative College Teaching

I am excited and energized for the new semester. Since publishing the book on January 3, 2024, I've expanded my use of AI in class:

In 2024, I used Google's NotebookLM to create podcasts on pivotal court cases and two of my academic papers in Internet Law, Consumer Law, and my required undergrad and MBA business law classes.

In 2023, I used AI to generate interactive law and ethics classroom modules and solutions. I asked the class to break into groups of two or three to discuss what they would do in diverse business or consumer situations. When we reconvened, I went around the room for their thoughts. Finally, I put the AI-generated solutions on the doc cam and we compared what the students said and what GPT produced. Then I weighed in on where I think the students and AI did well and what I might suggest doing differently. The conversations were lively and got students to critically examine the accuracy and possible flaws of relying on AI.

Wishing everyone a great Spring semester.
