Based on my research around the psychology of AI and student learning, I have defined five key skills I believe students need to effectively use generative AI. To help you target and teach these skills, I’m also sharing a framework I developed and a corresponding sample assignment that you can use to incorporate this learning into your own classroom. In my experience, building into the syllabus activities that help students develop these skills has not only enhanced student engagement and learning, but has also led to a noticeable improvement in their work.

"Moving from reaction to action, higher education stakeholders are currently exploring the opportunities afforded by AI for teaching, learning, and work while maintaining a sense of caution for the vast array of risks AI-powered technologies pose. To aid in these efforts, we present this inaugural EDUCAUSE AI Landscape Study, in which we summarize the higher education community's current sentiments and experiences related to strategic planning and readiness, policies and procedures, workforce, and the future of AI in higher education. This survey was distributed from November 27 to December 8, 2023, and focuses on the impacts AI has had on higher education since the mainstreaming of generative AI tools."

Bravo Sarah Descamps Nous sommes tous très heureux pour toi et très fiers du travail que tu réalises pour former les enseignants, les étudiants, les enfants et les citoyens en général sur cette thématique de la sobriété numérique. Belle reconnaissance que de représenter la Belgique et l’#UMONS auprès de l’#unesco
I began to look for a way for students to provide evidence of their recursive composing process. As I discovered in my search, Google Docs has this ability.

Imagine a time in the not-too-distant future in which AGI is firmly established in society and higher education faces the pressing need to reconfigure and reinvent itself. It is becoming increasingly clear that the advent of artificial general intelligence (AGI) is upon us.

Empêcher l’utilisation de l’I.A. revient à nier le futur. On s’en servira de toutes façons. Alors, que fait-on ? Les étudiants vont vite se lasser de ces enseignements «augmentés» auxquels ils ne participent pas.

Generative AI (GAI) has quickly gained a significant foothold in academia, and is now used widely for teaching, learning, and research purposes.[1] While national trends in student and faculty adoption are unclear, surveys conducted by individual institutions have found that approximately 50 percent to 65 percent of both students and faculty have used ChatGPT or one of its commercial competitors.[2] If current trends continue, in the near future GAI use will be ubiquitous, fully integrated into the core mission of colleges and universities.
Understanding the value of individual products in a now-crowded marketplace is a major challenge for end users and for university CIOs, IT departments, and others involved in decision-making.
While the full effects of this transformation are, at best, clear only in outline, 2023 saw both well-established vendors and start-ups racing to bring GAI applications optimized for use in educational contexts to market. As we write this brief, new products are appearing so rapidly that just keeping up with them is difficult, and understanding the value of individual products in a now-crowded marketplace is a major challenge for end users and for university CIOs, IT departments, and others involved in decision making about which products will be supported and/or licensed for campus users.
Since last fall, Ithaka S+R has been partnering with 19 colleges and universities from the US and Canada to assess GAI’s impact on higher education and make evidence-based, proactive decisions about how to manage the far-ranging effects of GAI.[3] As part of this project, Ithaka S+R has been cataloging GAI applications geared towards teaching, learning, and research in the higher education context. Today, we are excited to make our Product Tracking tool (https://sr.ithaka.org/our-work/generative-ai-product-tracker/) publicly available.
The Product Tracker includes a basic description of each tool, as well as information about the pricing model, key features, and other relevant details such as the large language model (LLM) or datasets behind the tool or background on the vendor. As it would be impossible to track every GAI application that might conceivably be used in higher education contexts, we have limited the Tracker to a) products marketed specifically towards faculty or student use, and b) products that appear to be in active use in teaching, learning, or research activities. At present, the Product Tracker contains data on over 100 GAI tools and applications. While we make no claims to including every relevant or potentially relevant product, the Tracker includes data on the most visible individual products on the market and is comprehensive enough to provide a landscape perspective on the market itself. The Tracker is also a living document which we update regularly to include new products or add new data about existing products. We will continue to do so for at least the remainder of 2024 if the tool retains value to the community.
This issue brief is designed to enrich the descriptive data captured in the Product Tracker. In the brief’s first section, we provide a typology of existing products and value propositions. In the second, we offer observations about what the product landscape suggests about the future of teaching, learning, and research practices, and speculations on the near-term future of the academic GAI market.

EL PAÍS spoke with a dozen teachers and students over the last few weeks and was hard-pressed to find a teacher who has not mentioned it in class. Students expressed surprise at how it can help them in their schoolwork. “Everyone in our project team knew about it, except for one girl, and it was incredibly helpful for our work,” says a 17-year-old student from Madrid. “We’ll probably get an A because of it.” The assignment was to develop a business plan, and the students were having trouble thinking of weaknesses, strengths and potential customers. “We asked ChatGPT to expand on our input, and we copied everything it produced after deleting some examples that we felt were too complex to be ours. But that’s all,” she said.

The takeaway from this study: "Non-degree credentials — such as licenses, badges, certificates or professional certifications — can offer more affordable and flexible pathways to economic opportunity through higher education. They also provide opportunities for workers to nimbly add new skills to their tool belts to meet workforce demands."
