When students suddenly started acing exams while finishing them in record time, Dr. Matthew Metzgar knew everything about education was about to change. Rather than fight this AI revolution, he embraced it – developing a practical framework that's now helping educators worldwide transform their courses for this new reality.
Drawing from his experience as a Clinical Professor of Economics and author of "The Overnight Educator: Transform Your Course in 24 Hours," Dr. Metzgar walks us through his innovative five-step approach designed specifically for busy educators who want to adapt without overwhelming time commitments. His method begins with targeting real-world skills employers actually value in the AI era, then designing authentic assignments that students are motivated to complete themselves rather than outsourcing to ChatGPT.
For educators feeling uncertain about embracing AI, Dr. Metzger offers reassurance through transparency: start by normalizing AI conversations with students, experiment with one tool at a time, and recognize that adapting education to technological change has always been part of teaching's evolution. The key is taking that first step.
