Abstract
In this insightful interview, SMU Associate Provost (Teaching and Learning Innovation) Lieven Demeester and Professor Emeritus of Information Systems Steven Miller discuss the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in teaching and learning, emphasising the importance of grounding AI use in the fundamentals of learning science. They explore the evolving role of education in the context of AI advancements, highlighting the need for educators to focus on the cognitive aspects of learning, such as goal-directed practice and feedback. They also address the potential of AI as a collaborative agent in group projects and the importance of maintaining accountability and quality control in the learning process.
The conversation references the paper Reimagining Education with AI, co-written by Margherita Pagani, Steven Miller, and Jerry Wind. It also delves into various frameworks for understanding and enhancing learning, including the Nine Stages of Student Learning by Yanez-Moretta and Loaiza-Ramirez (2023), principles from How Learning Works: Eight Research-Based Principles for Smart Teaching (2nd ed., 2023) by Lovett, M. et al., and the ICAP framework by Chi, M. T. H., and Wylie, R. (2014).
This interview, conducted in April 2025, was published as part of the AI for Faculty module in the Certificate in AI for Higher Education, a global professional development program for higher educators by the Digital Education Council.
