AI-Aware Teaching in Political Science with Eric Loepp

Share your thoughts about this episode as a text message.

The ebook version of my new book, The Norton Guide to AI-Aware Teaching, co-authored with Annette Vee and Marc Watkins, is out! To celebrate its release I’ve interviewed a few of the faculty whose AI-aware teaching we highlight in the book, and I’m excited to share another one of those conversations here on the podcast today.

Eric Loepp is a professor of political science at the University of Wisconsin at Whitewater and co-director of Whitewater’s Center for the Advancement of Teaching, Learning, Scholarship, and Technology. Eric is passionate about teaching political science—something that comes through loud and clear in our interview. He’s also had to figure out a variety of AI-aware teaching practices in the last few years in response to generative AI’s impacts on learning—and on our political discourse. In our conversation, Eric shares some very concrete and AI-aware assignments and learning activities that will, I think inspire you as you adapt to AI in your teaching.
