The Practice of the Commons: Agency, Authorship, and Open Pedagogy in an AI Age

Saturday keynote

A keynote on designing for genuine student agency in an AI age: holding questions before prompting, protecting productive struggle, and treating curation as a core learning skill.

Picking up where Robin DeRosa's Friday keynote ends, I bring the conversation into pedagogical practice. AI is putting pressure on education by positioning everyone as consumers of generated content, and I explore what it looks like to design for genuine student agency: holding questions before prompting, protecting productive struggle, and treating curation as a core learning skill.
