Welcome to Between the Prompts!

In this episode, we delve into what it truly means to learn in the era of AI. Dr. Vanessa and Dr. Melissa break down how our traditional ideas of learning, rooted in classrooms, lectures, and simple knowledge transmission, are evolving. They discuss how everyday meaning-making, problem-solving, and curiosity shape modern learning and examine whether AI is changing how we learn or how we access, support, and enhance learning experiences. From AI as tutor, tool, and collaborator to the rising expectations around personalized and dynamic learning, this episode reframes learning as a process that extends well beyond the classroom.We also dive into the essential skills today’s learners need, including prompt literacy, metacognitive awareness, and the ability to evaluate AI-generated content for accuracy and bias. Vanessa and Melissa unpack the challenges of over-reliance on AI, differences in access and equity, and the crucial role of educators and designers in helping learners use AI responsibly. This episode raises significant questions about expertise, lifelong learning, and how we can prepare students to work with AI rather than depend on it. Tune in as we explore how AI is reshaping learning and what questions we should be asking next.Learn more on our website AI in Education:
