Course AI Replaces Assigned Readings

Professors can encode their lecture‑style summaries and Socratic prompts into shareable AI 'skills' so students prepare by conversing with a simulation of the instructor instead of reading primary texts. That workflow shifts the gatekeeping of understanding from curated texts to instructor‑crafted prompts and the chosen AI platform. — If replicated widely, instructor‑built AI skills could change what counts as course preparation, concentrate pedagogical control with faculty who can write good skills, and reshape assessment and academic norms.
