Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a controversial subject in higher education, however, there is a plethora of opportunities where colleges and universities can effectively integrate AI into their teaching and learning. “AI is great for dramatically speeding up time-consuming tasks. If you were building a deck and needed to drill in screws to hold the lumber in place, you’d likely use an electric drill instead of a hand screwdriver. Both produce the same result, but the electric drill is faster and more efficient than doing the task by hand. AI works in a similar way with tasks that are traditionally cumbersome or data-intensive,” explains Michael Vaughn, Education and Adoption Specialist at Open LMS, working on a generative AI use policy.
