The Opposite of Cheating The Opposite of Cheating Podcast (Season 2) Episode 53: Carter Moulton
“We're hearing a lot about efficiency and personalization and we're not hearing about things like care, transparency, and, intention.”
“Our students are being bombarded with media messages about AI and help and what does help mean? That's such a loaded term.”
In this 53rd episode of The Opposite of Cheating Podcast, Tricia talks with Carter Moulton, a faculty developer at Colorado School of Mines, about going “analog” on purpose in the age of generative AI.
Carter shares the thinking behind his Analog Inspiration card deck—designed to help educators reconnect with values like care, presence, curiosity, and community, while also offering practical prompts for course and assessment redesign.
Together they explore why “why” matters (especially when AI is being shoehorned into learning), how design can be an act of care, and how intentional analog moments can create focus, accountability, and human connection without slipping into nostalgia or reactionary “back to blue books” thinking.
