Field notes from teaching AI + creativity: documenting what we're building, what we're testing, and what students teach me along the way.
A teaching handout on the four formats you write to an AI in — plain text, Markdown, JSON, HTML — what each one is good at, and how format choice changes what a coding agent can do, verify, and report back.
JSON prompting is sold as a way to make image and video models obey. The documented evidence says something narrower and more useful: it is a way to control your own process — isolate one variable, change one field, keep a record of what you decided.
A long-form field guide on the 2026 shift from generative AI as image producer to agentic AI as a controllable layer inside Blender, Figma, Resolume, TouchDesigner, Remotion, and the creative toolchain at large.
A structured catalogue of platforms, APIs, workflows, and independent sites that publicly expose Seedance or claim Seedance access. A literacy catalogue, not a recommendation list.
A risk-aware educational reference cataloguing free, freemium, trial-based, and open-source AI video generation tools. Not a recommendation list and not an official Concordia University resource.
