概要
 AI in Higher Education explores current developments in artificial intelligence and their implications for colleges and universities. Episodes examine how AI can enhance teaching and learning, support student success, improve the delivery of student services, and increase institutional effectiveness and efficiency. The podcast also considers emerging challenges and questions surrounding the responsible use of AI in higher education, drawing on recent developments, research, and examples from institutions and organizations.

  • Higher-Ed AI Adoption: Faculty Pilots, Course Tutors, and Evidence of Learning

    Higher-Ed AI Adoption: Faculty Pilots, Course Tutors, and Evidence of Learning
    2026/11/05
    Universities are moving beyond unrestricted chatbot access toward more structured approaches to AI. This episode examines Wake Forest’s faculty-led AI initiative, UC San Diego’s course-grounded tutoring project, and the University of Iowa’s managed AI Gateway for research and custom agents.

    The episode also reviews two studies with contrasting findings: one found that brief, structured AI-literacy modules improved several student competencies, while another found no significant effects from a semester-long AI chatbot intervention.

    Together, these developments suggest that institutions should define clear educational purposes, teach AI competencies explicitly, and require evidence of learning, engagement, and equity effects before scaling AI tools.

    TOPICS:
    - Faculty-led AI experimentation
    - Course-grounded AI tutoring
    - Managed AI workspaces and governance
    - Student AI literacy
    - Evidence-based AI adoption
    - Randomized studies of AI in higher education

  • Beyond the Chatbot: Five Higher-Ed AI Developments That Change the Questions

    Beyond the Chatbot: Five Higher-Ed AI Developments That Change the Questions
    2026/11/02
    This episode curates five developments previously covered by AI in Higher Education. The cases include student-built, course-grounded chatbots at IIM Bangalore; a randomized trial in which an AI tutor was associated with lower grades and LMS engagement; and Austin Community College’s AI-supported early-intervention initiative.

    The episode also examines Jisc’s pilot of institution-specific AI assistants for professional services and Ithaka S+R findings on differences between employer and instructor expectations for AI skills.

    Taken together, these examples frame higher-education AI as a process of redesigning assessment, evaluating educational outcomes, connecting data to timely support, improving administrative work, and preparing graduates for AI-shaped workplaces.

    TOPICS:
    - AI in higher education
    - Assessment redesign
    - AI tutoring and student learning
    - Student success and early intervention
    - AI assistants for professional services
    - AI skills and workforce preparation

  • From Enterprise AI Access to Purpose-Built Tutors in Higher Education

    From Enterprise AI Access to Purpose-Built Tutors in Higher Education
    2026/10/30
    Universities are shifting from open-ended chatbot access toward more structured AI environments. The episode explores Cornell’s multi-provider access pilot, including privacy protections, training, evaluation, and attention to energy use.

    It also examines East Carolina University’s TheoTeach tutor for theoretical computer science, the StudentBench comparison of AI and human tutoring, and StudentSim’s use of simulated learners for early-stage tutor development. Throughout, the discussion distinguishes promising prototypes and short-term findings from evidence of lasting benefits for real students.

    The episode concludes with Arizona State University’s experiential course on personal AI agents and three practical considerations for institutions: designing bounded tutors, evaluating systems with real learners, and treating enterprise AI access as a governed educational intervention.

    TOPICS:
    - Institutional AI access and governance
    - Course-specific AI tutoring
    - AI versus human tutoring research
    - Simulated learners and evaluation
    - AI literacy and student agency
    - Privacy, energy use, and responsible adoption
