Artificial intelligence (AI) has taken the forefront in discussions of the future of media and education. Although there are valid concerns, AI has the potential to be useful in learning new skills, particularly those related to computer programming. This case study depicts the ways AI was introduced to assist in teaching coding, specifically in a mobile application development course. Applying transformational teaching theory, this study assesses student perceptions of AI as it affects the acquisition and mastery of key concepts, strategies for learning and discovery, and the attitudes and mindsets associated with using AI for learning to code.
