MOODLE INVESTIGATION OF COURSES FIRST

1. Practice

main questions

• Could you tell me a bit about the students you’re currently teaching and the kinds of learning experiences you’re trying to support? – we create the conditions for learning
• Where, if at all, does generative AI currently show up in your teaching environment?

follow-up prompts

• Are students bringing it into their work independently?
• Have you had to adapt anything in response?
• Does it differ across year groups or cohorts?

2. Encounters with AI

main questions

• Can you recall a moment where AI use by a student surprised you, either positively or negatively?
• Have you experimented with AI in your own teaching or preparation? What was that experience like?

follow-up prompts

• What worked better than expected?
• What felt misaligned or uncomfortable?
• Did it change how you thought about your role?

3. Values and legitimacy

main questions

• What aspects of learning do you feel are essential and should remain unchanged, even as tools evolve?
• Are there areas where you feel difficulty or struggle is an important part of the learning process?

follow-up prompts

• What kind of effort matters most to you?
• Where might AI support learning, and where might it undermine it?
• Do you think some forms of assistance are more legitimate than others?

4. futures and imaginaries

main questions

• Looking ahead a few years, how do you imagine AI might reshape the way students learn in your discipline?
• What possibilities excite you, and what concerns you?
• What role do you think CCI / UAL should play in guiding how AI is used in teaching and learning?

follow-up prompts

• Are there changes you hope don’t happen?
• How might assessment need to evolve?
• Where should institutions lead vs allow experimentation?

5. tools, agency and alternatives

• The term “AI literacy” is used frequently at the moment. What does it mean to you in the context of your teaching?

• What are your thoughts on developing bespoke or locally hosted AI tools for education, rather than relying on commercial platforms?

• What kinds of support or guidance would help you navigate these changes?

• Trust, data, and ethics

• Pedagogical flexibility

• Staff autonomy vs standardisation

5. closing (?)

• Is there anything about AI and education that you feel is being overlooked or misunderstood in current conversations?
• Is there anything you’re currently grappling with that you think would be important for this research to consider?
