I used Generative AI (predominantly Claude) in a limited manner while writing this blog. I found it most useful at the start of the course, as a source for references while trying to get a sense of the ‘shape’ of the field, and understanding the links between different pedagogical ideas — for example, understanding how the literature on constructionism (an area I’d been interested in learning more about) related to that on object-based learning.
As the course has gone on and my understanding has deepened, I’ve found it more rewarding to search for references without the help of these tools. I have also used it occasionally to check formatting on references.
