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!

The latest Digital2Learn podcast guest, David Staley, inspires us with his fearless, innovative approach to digital teaching and learning. David argues that higher education must move beyond thought experiments and into the implementation of truly innovative practices. David shares, "what we think of as innovation, often times, is more like incremental innovation. The kind of innovation I focus on in the book [Alternative Universities: Speculative Design for Innovation in Higher Education] is existential innovation, or enterprise level innovation." He challenges us to think differently about what universities are for, infuse our efforts with imagination, and engage digital teaching with boldness. Join us for this two-part series that is easily one of our #Digital2Learn #podcastfavorites.
