As written work becomes easier to generate with AI, they explore how spoken assessments—like oral defenses and real-time questioning—can better demonstrate true understanding, critical thinking, and authentic learning. The conversation highlights how this moment is less about replacing traditional methods and more about evolving them—using AI to scale more personalized, human-centered approaches that help educators truly see, hear, and support their students. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-higher-ed-geek-podcast-1126176/episodes/live-from-asu-gsv-with-melissa-morgan/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-higher-ed-geek-podcast-1126176/live-from-asu-gsv-with-melissa-morgan.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
