AI in education presents several challenges despite its transformative potential. While AI offers opportunities for personalization and efficiency, educators and institutions face significant hurdles in implementation and effective use.
Educator Resistance and Knowledge Gap: Many faculty members feel overwhelmed by the rapid pace of AI advancement or lack interest in incorporating AI tools into their teaching practices, creating a significant adoption barrier.
Ethical Concerns and Data Privacy: The use of AI raises questions about student data protection, algorithmic bias, and maintaining academic integrity while balancing innovation with responsible implementation.
Integration Complexity: Educators struggle to meaningfully integrate AI beyond surface-level applications like generating lesson plans, requiring advanced skills in prompt engineering and workflow design.
Balancing Automation with Human Touch: Finding the right balance between AI-powered efficiency and preserving the essential human elements of teaching and personalized feedback remains challenging.
Keeping Pace with Rapid Technological Change: The AI landscape evolves quickly, making it difficult for educational institutions and teachers to stay current with the latest tools, techniques, and best practices.

My Hopes for the Participants of this Course
As you think about whether this course is for you, I want to share a little story that’s stuck with me from my own teaching journey.
A while back, I was running a class for final-year university students on quality of work-life. At one point, we started talking about lifelong learning, and I asked them a simple question: “What’s something you’d love to learn, just for the fun of it—not for grades, not for anyone else, just because you’re curious?” The answers were all over the place—baking, Greek mythology, you name it.
But here’s what really surprised me. When I asked how they’d actually go about learning these things, almost everyone said they’d look for a university course or sign up for something online. And I thought, isn’t it wild that even now, with all the free information out there, our first instinct is still to look for someone else to guide us?
That’s what got me thinking. In a world where knowledge is everywhere, maybe the real skill we need is learning how to learn on our own. Not waiting for someone to hand us a syllabus or give us permission, but just diving in and figuring things out for ourselves.
And yes, I get the irony—I’m offering a course about self-directed learning, when you could probably Google most of this stuff for free. But sometimes, what we really need is a nudge. A bit of structure. Maybe even just someone to remind us that we’re already capable of so much more than we think.
So, if you’re considering joining us, know that this isn’t about adding more pressure or chasing another certificate. It’s about helping you build the confidence and skills to learn anything you want, whenever you want. Maybe it’ll even be the last course you ever need.
Whether you decide to jump in or find your own way, my real hope is that you’ll give yourself permission to learn for the joy of it. Your curiosity deserves that chance. And if this course feels like the right fit, I’d be genuinely excited to support you on that journey.
