Please be cautious in using the transcripts.

They were created mechanically and have mostly not been checked or revised.

Here is how they were created:

  1. live lecture recorded;
  2. machine transcription of live recording;
  3. ask LLM to clean up transcript, and link to individual slides.

This is an error-prone process.

(This may not work on mobile or ipad. You can try using chrome or firefox, but even that may fail. Sorry.)

Notes and Slides

Things I have wanted to do for around 10 years but never could ... until now.

requirements

fast to implement and update

control over content (no tie-in)

deep links to lecture content

AI tools are doubly helpful because they can provide content and tools

content + tools

challenges

$$$

First challenge is cost: you need access to frontier models. Each question set might cost $1-2 in API costs, maybe more. For my course, I have around 30 question sets.
The question sets need updating each time my course changes, which is every year.

solutions

???

compliance

APIs

While I think it’s fun to start with easy things that we have long wanted to do, we are not yet scratching the surface of what is possible.
The opportunities are amazing. We’re going to be able to teach much better than we have ever taught before.
I know this because about 15 years ago I saw how students’ learning improved when we introduced automated feedback for logic exercises.
Suddenly we could teach more content, and we could teach faster, and students did better.
I don’t think we can get the same boost just with multiple response questions, of course. I think there are new kinds of tools we can create and build that will take us much further.
