"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."

Wed, 27 Mar 2024 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM AEDT Join me for a discussion of AI and assessment, exploring the AI Assessment Scale in K-12 and tertiary education. The AIAS has been designed to provide clarity for staff and students over how AI can and can't be used in various assessment tasks. The five levels go from no AI to full AI, and can be applied in any subject discipline. The 1 hour webinar provides examples from different tasks and assessments and discusses the rationale behind each level of the Scale. https://lnkd.in/g8m6Ge3X

🔜 Did you sign up for the "Let’s Talk AI: Student Roundtable" tonight at 6 pm EST? If not, there is still time to register. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the hot topic right now. As AI begins to transform numerous industries, everyone’s wondering what AI tools can achieve and the impact this will have on our world. Higher education is no exception — AI is already being used in the classroom and members of the community are already knee-deep in debates on its positive and negative effects. Here at CUNY SPS, students, faculty and administrators are all adding their own voices to the ongoing discourse over the use of AI in higher education. 📰 Read more from the CUNY SPS Community on AI in Higher Ed: https://ow.ly/52z350QCjGU

Over a third of students said that Generative AI had an influence on their choice of course, university and career. Read the other key findings of ‘Universities, students and the Generative AI imperative’: https://lnkd.in/e2ZMnnam In the report, we analysed results of 1,663 respondents to the QS Generative AI Academic and Student Pulse Surveys to provide institutions with a snapshot of the awareness, usage and perception of Generative AI in higher education. #GenerativeAI #EduData #HigherEd #Innovation #AITools

One of the things that I liked during the Council of International Schools' webinar on AI and Education was the Western Academy of Beijing's AI for Faculty section on their website. It is a good starting point of compiled resources of how the education sector has responded to AI including the IB. It is very interesting to see the speed of AI integration in various education platforms. Atlas rolled out the AI integration last year which greatly lessened planning time. Here's the link to WAB site if you are interested to read the articles they have compiled - https://lnkd.in/gAdzXBCu

Pregrade: Ensuring Fairness in AI Evaluation ✍️ With 60% of students worried about the fairness of AI evaluation, it’s crucial for universities to address these issues. This highlights the necessity of our human-in-the-loop approach. Pregrade, our AI grading assistant, streamlines the essay evaluation process by initially grading essays and drafting personalized feedback. It also aids in moderating multi-grader assignments. Educators can then easily review and adjust the AI’s evaluations, ensuring enhanced, equitable, and personalized feedback while saving time and effort. By setting clear guidelines, involving students and faculty in decisions, ensuring human oversight, and seeking regular feedback, we can maintain trust and fairness in the use of AI in higher education.
