@rebquintana.bsky.social, clinical associate professor of education at #UMich Education, discusses how ed-tech companies are putting AI before educator expertise: www.insidehighered.com/opinion/colu…
"The ed-tech landscape is experiencing a dangerous shift away from educator expertise toward an AI-driven, technology-first approach to digital innovation, ignoring designs for learning that are based on what we know about how people learn,"
