Ep. 276: Poetry, Pedagogy, and AI: Dr. Gwen Nguyen’s Vision for Transforming Assessment and Learning, Part Two
How can poetry, mindfulness, and artificial intelligence come together to transform how we assess and support student learning?
In this episode of Digital2Learn, we are honored to welcome Dr. Gwen Nguyen, Learning and Teaching Advisor at BCcampus, whose innovative work spans continents and cultures—from Vietnam and Japan to North America. With a deep passion for creating inclusive, student-centered learning environments, Gwen brings a rare blend of technological expertise, cultural insight, and poetic mindfulness to re imagining assessment in the age of AI.
Join us as we explore Gwen’s pioneering work on Assessment As-Of-For AI, a custom-built chatbot designed to support holistic student learning, while also diving into her belief that assessments must evolve from evaluating student output to nurturing the learning process itself. Along the way, we’ll also touch on the power of haiku, the wisdom of Japanese Zen gardens, and how poetic practice can foster deeper, more meaningful learning experiences. The future of learning isn’t just technological—it’s poetic, mindful, and profoundly human. Don’t miss this inspiring conversation!
