"AI could be a powerful tool for equity in learning--or could represent a technological advancement that further widens the digital literacy gap"

"“The best way to look at AI for grading is as a teaching assistant or research assistant who might do a first pass … and it does a pretty good job at that,”

"AI poses exciting opportunities for education, but human intelligence will always be needed."

"Here are some easy to implement suggestions that will help you prepare for the upcoming semester."

"The field is just getting started with artificial intelligence, but experts say to be cautious about student privacy and potential bias"

"Generative AI (GenAI) tools such as ChatGPT make it easier and faster for educators to write case studies."

"Overall, 54% of Americans say artificial intelligence programs that generate text and images, like ChatGPT and DALL-E, need to credit the sources they rely on to produce their responses."

"By harnessing the power of AI, educators can create dynamic and effective classrooms that cater to each student's individual needs. This paves the way for a more engaging and enriching learning experience that empowers students to thrive."

"While AI itself isn’t new, it has made waves in education in the past year as its potential–and its pitfalls–drew enthusiasm and concern from educators."

"To achieve digital equity with AI, taking a systems change approach is necessary. A systems change approach should involve all participants in a school community, emphasize coherent, research-based approaches to teaching and learning, and embrace open-source software."

"[M]any students enter college and the workforce not having enough practice in key critical thinking skills that they need to be innovative problem-solvers and effective communicators."

"In the eye-opening paper, the researchers uncover a striking aspect of the digital landscape: a significant fraction of the web, particularly content written in less commonly spoken languages, has been generated not by humans but through machine (AI) translation."

"The integration of AI into our daily personal and professional lives is not a distant future – it is our present. This brings us to a critical juncture where AI Literacy emerges as the newest 21st Century Competency, joining the esteemed ranks of critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity, or the 4C’s as they’re commonly known in academic circles."

"This culture of integrity, we realized, was a fundamental aspect that could help define where AI belonged in student life."

"Our goal is to prepare students not only to succeed academically but also to navigate the ethical challenges of using AI and other technologies in their future careers and lives."

"The future of eLearning lies in a powerful collaboration between human expertise and AI capabilities."

"While the report acknowledges AI's advantages and utility for students, teachers, administrators, and IT professionals, it also emphasizes "we're just beginning to understand the future of AI in education" and the need to address current and future challenges of AI responsibility, trust, and transparency."

"With adoption of the technology accelerating in the workplace, it’s time to prepare students for the fast-approaching future."

"Using AI in the classroom isn’t bad–here are some tips to make sure it’s used correctly"

"Recently Educause released its inaugural AI Landscape Study, which polled the higher education community about AI strategic planning and readiness, policies and procedures, impact on the workforce, and the future of AI in higher education. We spoke with report author and Educause Senior Researcher Jenay Robert for a deep dive into some of the thinking behind the study, what the survey findings tell us about institutions' AI journeys, and how "I don't know" might be the theme of the day when it comes to AI."

"Institutions of higher education, long viewed as the enablers of social mobility, are facing significant erosion of public confidence. Increasing concerns are being voiced about the value of a degree and the viability of current models of higher education that still largely follow the structures, priorities, and constraints of past centuries, rather than evolving to meet current needs and those of the future."

"From creating more dynamic training experiences to integrating interactive elements to boost learner engagement, Artificial Intelligence can turn even the most dry subject matter into a memorable microlearning activity."

"While AI and other technologies have evolved, our education system often remains entrenched in outdated practices, hindering students’ ability to navigate their academic journey efficiently."

"AI models, like humans, are limited by the context they have. If a question lacks clarity, the answer won’t be helpful. Just as clear communication with clients requires design briefs, providing AI models with the right context gives them the information they need to generate meaningful responses."

"Other AI models such as ChatGPT offer PDF readers that similarly expedite analyses of lengthy documents, but those services require users to upload a PDF. Adobe’s AI assistant is a built-in feature."
