The Emerging New Task and Partner for Higher Education - Ray Schroeder, Inside Higher Ed

We have a new partner in higher education to assist with fulfilling our primary mission.  I turned to our new partner to briefly articulate that “the primary mission of higher education is to provide advanced learning opportunities beyond the high school level, with the aim of developing a highly skilled and educated workforce..."  The generative artificial intelligence app went on to note that “Higher education institutions, such as universities, colleges, and vocational schools, offer various degree programs, certifications, and training opportunities that provide students with the knowledge, skills, and experiences needed to succeed in their chosen fields.” In order to accomplish that lofty mission, we face the intimidating new challenge of preparing our learners to integrate and optimize AI into their careers and vision of the future.
