The Assignment:
The assigned TEDTalk and article for the week are:
Kai-Fu Lee, “Give the A.I. Economy a Human Touch”
Shyam Sankar, “The Rise of Human-Computer Cooperation” (TEDTalk)
As we do the class readings, we will begin to uncover different conversations about technology that exist between the authors. This discussion forum is a place for us to discuss and compare some of the connections we see. For this week’s discussion forum, write and post about a connection that you see between the authors so far. Be specific in identifying at least two articles and in discussing the connection you see between them. What is similar in their subject, ideas, attitudes? Conversely, where and how do they diverge?
Substantive participation in online discussions should:
Add value to the discussion and avoid simply repeating, agreeing with, or answering yes or no to peer’s comments
Ask insightful questions
Answer other people’s questions
Exemplify the point with real-life events, when possible
Things to keep in mind as you write discussion posts and communicate with other students:
Share an experience related to the discussion. Comment on other participants’ experiences that relate to the course.
Ask others questions about their ideas and experiences that are related to the course
Challenge a point that another participant made in a respectful manner. Offer a different perspective on an idea that is being discussed
Give insights gained from assigned readings for the week. If you need more information, ask the participants a question about the week’s reading
