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?
