About this episode
The episode discusses the impact of artificial intelligence on computer science education with guest Elisa Cundiff.
Artificial intelligence is changing how we learn, teach, and even think. So what happens to computer science education when students can ask ChatGPT to do their homework — or even write perfect code?In this conversation, I chat with Elisa Cundiff, computer science instructor at Colorado State University and one of the National Science Foundation’s 100 “superstar educators.” We talk about teaching in the era of AI, why struggle still matters, and how critical thinking might just be the last human advantage. 🔗 Links & Mentions --------------------------------------- 🌐 Elisa's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/elisacundiff/ -- 💬 Follow Kirupa: https://twitter.com/kirupa 📚 Articles & blog posts: https://www.kirupa.com
