AI as an Accessible Project Lead

Описание: What happens when AI stops being just a homework helper and becomes a visible partner in how students think, collaborate, and grow? Drawing on self-organized learning environments, Universal Design for Learning, and “AI-ready graduate” life skills, Domjan walks through real course experiments—from failed podcast projects to redesigned debate simulations and hybrid assignments—showing how carefully structured AI prompts, rubrics, and checkpoints can create “productive friction” that deepens reflection, equity, and accountability instead of shortcutting effort.
