Join us for the final BoulderTalks event this winter as award-winning educator and innovator David Joyner looks forward by looking backward, starting by retracing how technological innovation has changed education in the past and using that context to project how new tools like ChatGPT will change education in the future. With that as a foundation, Joyner will then look at how AI can and should be used to help both students and teachers going forward.

​David Joyner is Executive Director of Online Education & OMSCS in Georgia Tech's College of Computing. His research focuses on online education and learning at scale, especially as they intersect with for-credit offerings at the graduate and undergraduate levels. His emphasis is on designing learning experiences that leverage the opportunities of online learning to compensate for the loss of synchronous collocated class time. This includes leveraging artificial intelligence for student support and assignment evaluation, facilitating student communities in large online classes, and investigating strategies for maintainable and interactive presentation of online instructional material. As part of his work, Joyner teaches online versions of Educational Technology, Human-Computer Interaction, Knowledge-Based AI, and Introduction to Computing. He is also Vice-Chair of the Steering Committee for the ACM Learning @ Scale conference, as well as the General Chair for the 2019 and 2020 conferences. Joyner has received several awards for his work in teaching online, including the 2019 USG Regents' Teaching Excellence Award for Online Teaching, 2018 Georgia Tech Center for Teaching & Learning Curriculum Innovation Award, and the 2016 Georgia Tech College of Computing Lockheed Excellence in Teaching Award.

Coffee and light snacks will be available starting at 3:30 p.m. outside the auditorium, and will be available until 5:30 p.m. for continued questions and or conversation after the talk.
