As instructional designers and technologists within the Office of Distance Learning, one of our goals is to help faculty navigate new and changing technologies in education, including AI. Our website includes a reference bank of generative AI tools and possible uses, as well as guidelines for both encouraging and preventing AI usage. We’re in good company as institutions worldwide consider the role of AI in education, including MIT. Recently, the MIT Media Lab published a study raising important questions about how generative AI may be shaping student learning.
