Episode Summary
In this episode of CELT-cast, Rob and Kate are joined by Dr. Carlo Rotella, Professor of English at Boston College and author of the new book What Can Get Out of This? Teaching and Learning in a Classroom Full of Skeptics. A Yale-trained scholar and prolific writer, Dr. Rotella has been reflecting on what it means to truly engage students in an age dominated by artificial intelligence and digital tools.
The conversation explores how “unplugged classrooms” that are anchored in discussion, printed books, and chalkboards can still thrive in the digital age. Dr. Rotella shares his approach to teaching skeptical students, his reasons for leaning into traditional forms of learning, and how he sees AI reshaping (but not replacing) the human elements of higher education.
