Abstract
Four years ago, I accepted the fascinating challenge of teaching a Big Data course. The thematic proposal was intimidating, as it presented an approach devoid of "ready-to-use" tools and, instead, proposed a highly technical approach (Kumar et al., 2022). This required meticulous and mechanical practice that consisted of mastering the Linux operating system, configuring virtual machines, and installing more than half a dozen tools through command line, as well as configuring an endless list of system files (.sh, .ini, etc.). These specialized practices demand considerable time and expertise from the instructor (Wang & Chen, 2023). Back then, AI assistants like ChatGPT or Claude didn't exist. Class preparation without these tools became an arduous and often torturous process of achieving the ideal pedagogical strategy. Here, aspects such as class script, narrative resources, demonstrative arguments, effective design of examples, and the development of questionnaires, glossaries, case studies, group dynamics, among others, became relevant.
