In an era where educational methodologies often struggle to keep pace with rapid technological advancements, Dr. Muhsinah Morris, affectionately known as "Dr. Mom" by her students at Morehouse College, presented a compelling vision for the future of learning at DEF CON 32. Her talk, "Student Engagement Doesn't Have to Suck," tackled the pervasive issue of student disengagement in traditional academic settings, proposing a revolutionary integration of artificial intelligence and spatial computing. Dr. Morris unveiled her pioneering work in developing **AI-powered teaching assistants (AITAs)** within **metaversive teaching and learning** environments, a pedagogical approach she coined and implemented at Morehouse College's Metaversity.
