The Alive & Teaching Podcast
The Alive & Teaching podcast is a space for conversation and reflection on how artificial intelligence is reshaping education — in classrooms, institutions, and learning relationships.
Rather than focusing on tools or trends alone, Alive & Teaching explores broader questions raised by AI: how teaching practices evolve, how assessment is rethought, how academic authority is negotiated, or how educators and students adapt to accelerated technological change.
Episodes include conversations with guests and short solo reflections. Some discussions engage directly with current developments in AI and education; others step back to examine underlying assumptions, tensions, and longer-term implications.
The aim is not to provide definitive answers, but to create a thoughtful space where complexity can be acknowledged, questions can be explored openly, and different perspectives can be brought into dialogue.
Your comments and ideas are always welcome!
