On 2 December 2024 I gave three workshops at HfMT Köln’s Thementag on AI and music education. The handouts covered data protection, AI tools for students, and AI in teaching. This post is the argument behind them — focused on the curriculum question that none of the tools answer on their own: what should change, and what should not?
A third post in the networked music performance series. Technical latency and institutional infrastructure are only part of the problem. This practice-informed account describes one curriculum’s use of progressive tasks, reflection and portfolios without treating observations as measured learning effects.
A follow-up to the August 2023 latency post. The numbers were fine. The hard part turned out to be everything else: governance, maintenance, invisible labour, and why a technically functional Digital Music Lab can become unusable without sustained stewardship.
