PEDAGOGY & LEARNING
My work on pedagogy and experiential learning began in 2013
Adaptive Skills Pedagogy
Future Skills Studio teaches students the crucial skills of providing detailed context to AI, crafting thoughtful prompts, and critically analyzing AI responses. This process enhances their ability to use AI effectively. It fosters a deep understanding of the iterative nature of human-AI interaction. Through this, students learn the importance of refining their questions and responses — the key to leveraging AI technology across various sectors, including finance, healthcare, and marketing, thereby enhancing decision-making and operational efficiency. These skills are no longer confined to the tech industry but are essential for anyone looking to navigate the future job market effectively. Read the full article on Medium.
QformIQ© in Education: the Yin-Yang of empowering student growth
QformIQ© isn’t just a theoretical construct; it’s a transformative force, redefining the educational journey as a dynamic, adaptive pathway that responds to each learner’s unique rhythm. This is more than a potential educational evolution; it’s a conscientious revolution. As educators, our mission transcends imparting knowledge; we must architect a future where every learner can harness their full potential. Embracing Q-Learning is not just an option in this mission; it's an imperative, a pivotal stride toward nurturing learners, future leaders, and innovators. Read the full article on Medium.
A student-centric, integrated approach to learning
Traditional education systems suffer from a prevalent issue of compartmentalization, where Students, Curricula/Teaching, and Administration generally operate in silos. This fragmented model leads to a disconnect, where the curriculum is out of sync with student needs, and administrative processes might not effectively support teaching and learning. Such a structure inevitably creates barriers to student progress, inhibiting the free flow of information and collaboration crucial for a vibrant learning environment.

I began writing about AI in late 2022
Student-Centered Lifelong Education Model
The education system we rely on today is a relic of the past, designed for an industrial world that no longer exists. Its rigid, age-based structure must be redesigned to reflect the realities of the 21st century, where adaptability, innovation, and continuous growth are paramount. To meet these challenges, we need a new model that embraces lifelong learning without boundaries, centres on student agency, and leverages technology to create a flexible and inclusive ecosystem for all. Agency-Powered Lifelong Learning© (APLL) is how this vision combines by dismantling the concepts of Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary institutions. Read the article on Medium.
Speak, Command, Transform: The Future of AI as Your Operating System
AI Integration at the Foundation Level
AI as an operating system signifies a profound change: AI is no longer just a feature or an assistant within the system; it becomes the system itself. This integration enables AI to manage core functionalities, interfaces, resource allocations, and more, effectively making it the backbone of the digital experience. This foundational integration allows seamless, intuitive interaction across all devices — mobile phones, tablets, or personal computers — adapting dynamically to user needs and contexts.

Bridging the AI Class Divide in Society: A Call for Equitable Access
The Emergence of an AI Class Divide: In 2023, we have witnessed the emergence of a significant societal schism that transcends the traditional digital divide: the AI class divide. This new frontier in inequality is not merely about access to technology but about the quality and capabilities of the AI tools at one’s disposal. Analyzing the complexities of this divide reveals a non-obvious aspect of society that Federal Governments must urgently consider. Read the article on Medium.

Contextual Authenticity is Essential to AI Interactions — create your “Custom Context Cv©” (C³)
It’s easy to consciously or subconsciously blur the lines between reality and the polished images we craft for the world. As we curate personas that reflect who we want to be rather than who we are, crucial questions emerge: Does this digital facade accurately reflect my depth, struggles, and aspirations? How can AI provide helpful responses if it lacks accurate context? Read the article on Medium.
How AI is Catalyzing Creative Minds
By late 2023, I realized that Gen AI would turbocharge creative expression, and everyone would have the opportunity to leverage AI and explore their innate creativity. Imagine a world where creative expression isn’t limited to those who have spent years mastering their craft but is accessible to everyone curious about their creative potential. Artificial intelligence (AI) as a means of creative expression makes this vision a reality. Read the article on Medium.
Thriving in the era of GenAI: a Comprehensive Guide for Knowledge Workers (KWs)
The catalyst behind penning this guide was a blend of observation, interaction with myriad professionals, and a burning desire to bridge the widening chasm between the present-day workforce and the GenAI-augmented horizon that beckons. I also identify as a KW and, if only for my own sake, needed to document what it means for my future to have my value challenged by GenAI. Read the article on Medium.
Age of the AI-Augmented Workforce
With the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI), we are witnessing a seminal shift in the professional landscape that warrants an immediate and strategic response from employers and employees alike.

Reflecting on my journey with artificial intelligence (AI), I’ve realized it is outside the conventional discourse surrounding AI adoption.

I experienced an intriguingly different society when I worked in New Zealand
I’m Australian, and when I worked in New Zealand from 2014 to 2016, I experienced an intriguingly different society.

We love this earth as the newborn loves its mother’s heartbeat
“Hold in your mind the memory of the land as it is when you receive it. Preserve the land for all children and love it, as God loves us all. One thing we know, there is only one God; no man, be he red man or white man, can be apart. We are brothers, after all.” Words of Chief Seattle, 1852. We think memory cannot see into nor through events of history. Such thinking is a convenient forgetting — the past infuses everything present. Read the full story on Medium.
