This lightning talk will share the experience of an open online course which fostered an open online community, which begat an AI-powered audio chatbot, Dr. Oblivion, who was drafted as a teaching assistant. A community member built the bot as a project for an outside course. The instructors were able to put it to use in a digital storytelling where the class could experiment with and learn about generative AI applications as tools for creating narratives on the web. This serves as an example of how open educational practices can enable creativity and connection within a community. Dr. Oblivion may contribute snide commentary to the presentation.
Attendees of this session will be able to:
Discuss broad benefits of open educational practices
Discuss potential benefits of incorporating generative AI applications into a course
Lightning talks are short, pre-recorded videos that can be viewed anytime during the conference. Most lightning talks will be released a week early and will remain available after the conference. Don't miss this incredible collection of quick takes!
