The new school year started for my colleagues and I a few weeks ago. One process that I have to go through at the beginning of each school year is getting all of the year’s events onto my Go…
New research from the admissions assessment and analytics company Acuity Insights shows that a growing number of institutions expect AI to transform operations.
"Fifty-seven percent of survey respondents said they are paying more attention to applicants’ personal qualities, life experiences and extracurricular contributions, as opposed to strictly academic skills."
"Today, we are surrounded – indeed, immersed – in a world of digital devices quietly powered by artificial intelligence. Whether through Microsoft’s Copilot, Google’s predictive search, Grammarly’s real-time editing, or the invisible algorithms guiding us through traffic and daily decisions, we are engaged in a kind of ambient co-thinking with machines."
"Increasingly, students are outsourcing memory to cloud-based systems, co-developing logic with large language models, and fine-tuning arguments through predictive text engines that anticipate their intentions before they fully articulate them."
"while chatbots can predict and generate text based on patterns they’ve learned from vast amounts of data, they lack true comprehension and contextual awareness. They don’t grasp nuances, emotions, or cultural references in the way humans do. Their responses are guided by algorithms and probabilities, not by a deep understanding of meaning or intent."
AI systems like ChatGPT don’t truly “learn” but operate based on predefined training, and understanding this distinction helps users engage with AI more effectively.
The rise of digital identity systems is transforming online security and privacy, presenting both risks and opportunities as they become essential passports to the digital world.
"As with any technology or digital tool, AI is evolving quickly, and as it changes, advocates and naysayers aren’t afraid to share their views on what role AI should–or should not–play in higher education."
The open access movement inspires sharing for the common good, but contributors often face unexpected misuse of their work, leading to “wait, no, not like that” moments.
"When technology fails in education, we blame the tools. The platform is outdated. The AI tutor doesn’t work. Students are distracted by their devices. But these failures are not the root cause of the problem; they are symptoms of a deeper dysfunction in how we approach learning."
Effective education requires redesigning learning experiences, not just adding more technology, to foster problem-solving, adaptability, and human potential.
"Organizations invest heavily in digital learning programs, technologies, and content development, yet the professional development of those delivering online instruction is often treated as an afterthought."
Ever sift through endless amounts of information without finding what you are looking for? Wish a program could help you? Let’s talk about chatbots and how they can do just that.
Chatbots in the classroom can personalize learning by adapting to students’ needs, helping with comprehension, and teaching inquiry skills, while educators can easily refine and monitor interactions.

AI-powered studying and learning platform Studyfetch has launched Imagine Explainers, a new video creator that utilizes artificial intelligence to generate 10- to 60-minute explainer videos for any topic.
The Southern Regional Education Board’s Commission on AI in Education has released its first six recommendations to guide schools and colleges in adopting AI strategically and effectively.
Small language models help colleges deploy AI efficiently, reducing costs, improving security and enhancing edge computing for smarter campus operations.
Small language models (SLMs) may offer higher education leaders a cost-effective, efficient AI solution, enabling innovative applications on network edge devices.
As AI-driven learning transforms Instructional Design, designers must shift from content creators to learning architects, embracing adaptive, on-demand learning over rigid, structured pathways.
OpenAI argues that unrestricted access to copyrighted material for AI training is essential for U.S. competitiveness against China and should be considered “fair use.”
K-12 schools are embracing the use of educational apps for many functions, and while administrators feel positive about this approach, parents and teachers may have “app overload,” according to a report last week.
"On a scale of one to 10, about a third of teachers rated their satisfaction with having to use multiple school apps at two. The time it takes to manage data on and between different platforms was the main reason for their discontent, according to the report."
Engaging students in online 5th grade science and math requires high-quality, phenomena-based resources that spark curiosity and encourage active learning.
Institutions must ensure AI-powered LMS tools continuously improve while maintaining reliability, fairness, and transparency through ongoing assessment and responsible AI development.
