SUMMARY:RIOS Institute Brew & Banter with Dr. Allison Lester
DESCRIPTION:Brew and Banter is RIOS’ monthly virtual series where community members come together for informal conversations about current topics in STEM education. Each session offers a chance for attendees to share updates\, spark new ideas\, and learn from one another in a relaxed\, welcoming space. \nToday’s guest is Dr. Allison Lester\, AI Literacy Professor at Arizona State University\, on  “Co-Creating with AI to Enhance Critical Thinking” \nAs generative AI reshapes higher education\, many instructors are responding with tighter rules and greater surveillance. This session offers a different entry point. Drawing on classroom-based inquiry and open pedagogical practices\, it explores how co-creating with AI can strengthen critical thinking when learning environments are built on trust\, shared norms\, and student authorship. Rather than focusing on rules or detection\, the session highlights co-creating AI policy with students as a meaningful learning activity. Participants will see how shared agreements about AI use can open space for ethical reflection\, student voice\, and deeper engagement. \nThrough classroom examples\, the session illustrates how students use AI to build tools and projects\, encounter ethical challenges\, and return to collective norms around verification\, responsibility\, and judgment. Designed for higher education faculty across disciplines\, this session offers practical strategies and a clear framework for integrating AI in ways that align with existing teaching values and support thoughtful\, student-centered learning.
