Rebecca Fordon unpacks vibe coding and the eight AI teaching tools she built in a single semester on episode 623 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.
Quotes from the episode
Vibe coding, I think of being able to describe the kind of application or website that you want in just words, a narrative, rather than having to code it, knowing coding language.
I think the easiest place to start is in ChatGPT, or Gemini, or Claude Code.
Many of my students have not used it for anything related to law school. Until they get into my class, and then they see there actually are some good, legitimate uses.
If you want to mess with things on your own, you can really just ask AI: How do I do that? Where should I look?
