"When students and educators think of asynchronous courses, they envision something akin to a correspondence course, lacking an available professor with disengaged students struggling to understand assignments in isolation, all within a disconnected learning environment. This type of course structure has the potential to leave students with high levels of stress and anxiety, feelings of apathy, and an overabundance of reading materials, without the requisite expertise to guide them through the learning process."

47% This is the percentage drop in brain activity measured among participants in an MIT Media Lab study who used ChatGPT, compared to those who wrote without AI assistance. This is not a philosophical finding. It is a neurological one, recorded via EEG, from the actual brainwaves of real people while they worked.

An analog classroom is not the way forward—but we should be rethinking higher ed’s approach to ed tech. I, like many of you, was caught off guard by the massive Canvas outage, caused by a group of hackers who demanded that Instructure pay a ransom to avert the disclosure of millions of users’ personal data. The outage could not have happened at a worse time, as instructors were evaluating final exams and assignments, calculating final grades, and gearing up for summer online courses.

"In recent years, significant developments have occurred in AI-based chatbots that have been effectively deployed in the educational field. However, given the novelty of this technology, descriptive analyses remain scarce. Although many review studies have focused on the effectiveness of chatbots, they generally present broad results, and only a few have addressed the impact of this technology on learning outcomes."

"The concept of early engagement is a necessity for online instructors in higher education to establish social connectedness with learners. The practice is based on Garrison et al.’s (1999) model for the Community of Inquiry (CoI). The CoI model suggests that the optimum online learning experience occurs when social, cognitive, and teaching presences converge [1]. However, social presence is more than simply one of three components; social presence is a foundational element. Social presence exists to establish an emotional connection."

Purpose-built AI systems can analyze patterns in student performance, identify specific skill gaps, and connect those gaps directly to instructional recommendations. Done well, this doesn't remove the teacher from the equation. It sharpens the teacher's ability to act.

Learning how to question and analyze are skills that must be honed and practiced. Educators must help train minds to look for flawed arguments, misuse of data, or outright lies so we can ensure that as students form their own thoughts on issues, they are grounding them in reality.

Some low-tech strategies can help us build more resilient systems. In case you missed it, Canvas went down last week. A cybersecurity incident affecting the Canvas learning management system caused disruption to around 9,000 universities, colleges and K–12 schools. Instructors and students were temporarily unable to access course materials, assignments, announcements and student communications during one of the busiest periods of the academic term.

"“User” has traditionally meant one thing: a person. The user is someone who navigates an interface, scans text/visuals, and makes decisions. UX/UI has always been about “reducing friction” between humans and the products they use. But UX and the design process are heavily evolving."

"Ask ten people in the industry what responsible AI design means and you will get ten different answers. Ethics frameworks, trustworthy AI principles, responsible innovation checklists: the vocabulary keeps growing. But underneath all of that sits a more practical question. When someone is actually sitting in front of an AI-powered product, what makes the experience good? And who, if anyone, has written that down in a way that’s actually useful?"
