I have 25 years experience teaching in AI and Game Development, working commercially and consulting with Government, industry and academia.

Generative AI offers people the ability to produce human like output with much less effort and time. However, by allowing AI to do the work we risk our own learning. Learning is enjoyable, but only when you want to learn. You would not send a robot on holiday for you because you want that experience.  We need free learning to be fun again, and help people get rid of the boring parts of their work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-content-justification-center is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-d6c82377 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\" style=\"border-style:none;border-width:0px;border-radius:0px\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"mailto:simon.mccallum@vuw.ac.nz?subject=Ludogogy%20contact\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" data-id=\"75\" src=\"https:\/\/ludogogy.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/vuwx100.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-75\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"mailto:simon.mccallum@ntnu?subject=Ludogogy%20contact\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" data-id=\"80\" src=\"https:\/\/ludogogy.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/ntnux100-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-80\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"mailto:s.mccallum@cqu.edu.au?subject=Ludogogy%20contact\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" data-id=\"79\" src=\"https:\/\/ludogogy.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/cqux100.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-79\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Email: simon.mccallum at Victoria University of Wellington(@vuw.ac.nz), NTNU in Norway (@ntnu.no) or CQU in Australia(s.mccallum@cqu.edu.au).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the consultancy page for Dr. Simon McCallum.
