ALT A museum made of ones and zeros

ALT The image is split into two sections: a dark brown title panel reading “The Audacious Ask of Higher Education,” with subtitle text for Part 2 of a GenAI reflection series, and a lower panel showing a satirical real-estate-style webpage. The mock listing, labeled “Transformative Multi-Room Opportunity,” advertises a $48,000-per-year “major investment in an uncertain floor plan,” with blurred room images, question-mark thumbnails, locked rooms, and warnings such as “visible after enrollment.” The visual compares higher education to an expensive property listing where key details are vague, inaccessible, or deferred until after purchase.

ALT A monochrome, engraved-style illustration shows an oversized Roman-numeral clock above a classical university building surrounded by gears and machinery. Small human figures move along ramp-like pathways into and around the building, making the institutional system appear larger than the people within it. Visible text reads: “Apathies and Artifices in Education,” “Part 1 of piecing a few things together...,” “AI Education = Simplified,” and “AIEDUSIMPLIFIED.SUBSTACK.COM.”

ALT A vertical portrait shows a man in a black button-up shirt standing with arms crossed against a blurred green outdoor background. Large white serif text reads, “...have real-world relevance without importing the outside world directly into every course.” Smaller text below reads, “Part 2 of an interview with Priten Soundar-Shah,” “AI Education = Simplified,” and “AIEDUSIMPLIFIED.SUBSTACK.COM.”

ALT The image shows a white 3D book angled slightly to the left against a black background, with a glossy reflection beneath it. The cover text reads “Priten Soundar-Shah,” “Ethical Ed Tech,” and “How Educators Can Lead on AI and Digital Safety in K-12,” with a teal pixel-style graphic at the center. The Jossey-Bass Wiley Brand logo appears near the lower right of the cover.

ALT The top half has a dark slate background with centered white serif text: “New Publication: Expanding OER with GenAI,” followed by “A co-authored piece with a mentor, colleague, and friend, Larry Davis,” “AIEDUSIMPLIFIED.SUBSTACK.COM,” and “AI Education = Simplified.” The bottom half shows a cropped presentation slide titled “Choose your step,” with a yellow-and-dark table listing OER AI approaches: Curate, Contextualize, Co-create, Cultivate, Amplify, and Sustain; some description text on the right is cut off.

ALT The image has a dark gray header with large white serif text reading “Exploring Agentic AI,” followed by “AIEDUSIMPLIFIED.SUBSTACK.COM” and the tagline “AI Education = Simplified.” The lower half shows a cropped, slightly blurred screenshot of the Fetch N Feed RSS reader with an article about Internet Archive PC Gamer demo discs open in the reading pane.

ALT A brass compass sits open on a sandy surface, with a blurred beach or shoreline in the background and muted gray-blue tones. White serif text reads, “What’s my line?” followed by a subtitle about figuring out boundaries for using AI in scholarship and research. Smaller text identifies “AI Education = Simplified” and “AIEDUSIMPLIFIED.SUBSTACK.COM.”

ALT Extended Alt-Text (2–3 sentences) The image is split vertically into two stacked sections. The top section is a muted blue title slide with large white serif text reading “Awe Without Surrender: Staying Curious But Grounded with AI,” followed by “A recent talk,” the URL AIEDUSIMPLIFIED.SUBSTACK.COM, and the line “AI Education = Simplified.” The bottom section shows a blue Jeopardy-style game board labeled “AI Jeopardy,” with columns of AI-themed categories and rows of dollar values from $100 to $500.

ALT A portrait of a man with long gray hair and a full beard, wearing a two-tone shirt, looking off to his right against a light background with faint network-like graphics. Below the image, a quote reads: “…most people complain about universities forcing AI on people, but that’s generally not the case.” The attribution “AI Education = Simplified” appears beneath the quote, along with a Substack URL at the bottom.

ALT The image is divided into two stacked sections. The top half has a dark brown background with large serif text reading, “…higher education will look retro in a bad way,” followed by “Part 1 of an interview with Bryan Alexander,” the site name “AIEDUSIMPLIFIED.SUBSTACK.COM,” and the line “AI Education = Simplified.” The bottom half shows red-orange cover art for Peak Higher Ed: a campus clock tower sits behind a bold yellow line that rises and then falls sharply, with large white text reading “PEAK HIGHER ED” and smaller text noting Alexander as the author of Universities on Fire and Academia Next.

ALT A close-up portrait of a woman with shoulder-length curly hair smiling directly at the camera against a dark, softly textured background. White text overlays the image, featuring a quote about starting with “why” rather than “what” and “how” to shift conversation. Additional text identifies it as an interview with Hannah Jardine and includes “AI Education = Simplified” and a Substack URL.
