I'm the faculty collaborator on Zach's project. He's developing a course assignment structure that integrates a specific type of generative AI (e.g., ChatGPT) into a traditional philosophy writing assignment. I'm especially excited about what he's up to! 3/3.
BIG congratulations to @uc_philosophy grad students @peckzy3 and Ilir Isufi on their prestigious @UCResearch awards! Read more here: https://t.co/hHcAb93b95
Ilir's project is "Examining the impact of social media self-diagnosis of mental disorders on personal autonomy", and Zach's is "Cyborgian Collective Action in Action: A Case Study Using LLMs in the Classroom". 2/3.
My department is doing interview videos with all faculty and I'm the third one up (@APotochnik and Tony Chemero are already online)! Short video here, slightly longer one over on YouTube.
I'm looking for an application that can read Word and pdf docs aloud. (While I know technically the Mac operating system accessibility program can, I have found it pretty bad, needing to restart it all the time, etc). Any recommendations?
