Well that’s a bummer but not surprising.
I wonder what a federated education marketplace could look like.
Some sort of (possibly locked) video hosting, maybe even Peertube, course discovery more like bookwyrm with lemmy style discussion forums? It’d be cool to have testing/assignment material like Blackboard built in too.
I feel like even if they had “opted-out” it wouldn’t really matter because the AI would just learn their competitors course and teach it later. This is a strategy that works only when they all collectively opt-out or they don’t. Shady practice from Udemy for sure
there is no way they can use the AI to teach anything yet. AI lies like 30% of the time. idk what they will use it for; maybe for search, maybe to polish up presentation, but if they try and use it as a teacher it will fail spectacularly.
I switched to in-person teaching a couple years ago and am glad I did. It’s been a challenging time as an instructor finding ways to make sure I’m added value.
