Summary

In this bonus episode recorded live at the ASU+GSV summit in San Diego, we sat down with David McCool of Muzzy Lane about how AI is reshaping teaching, learning, and assessment through interactive simulations and role-play experiences. They explore how these tools can move beyond traditional content recall to help students practice real-world skills in more engaging, dynamic ways. The conversation highlights the balance between leveraging AI’s power and maintaining intentional learning design, emphasizing that while AI can enhance personalization and efficiency, strong structure and human guidance remain essential for meaningful skill development.
