What generative AI reveals about assessment reform in higher education "Assessment is fast becoming a central focus in the higher education debate as we move into an era of generative AI, but too often institutions are responding through compliance and risk-management actions rather than fundamental pedagogical reform. Tightened regulations, expanded scrutiny and mechanistic controls may reassure quality assurance systems, but they run the risk of diluting genuine transformation and placing unsustainable pressure on staff and students alike."

"If reform is driven through compliance, we will miss opportunities to align assessments with the learning needs of a graduate entering the gen-AI era." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

"One bot, known as the 'syllabot,' reduces the time faculty spend answering common syllabus-related questions about course policies, grading, and course expectations." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

Universities And States Lead Charge On AI Education "Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer just a buzzword in the world of technology; it’s rapidly becoming a core part of how American universities and schools educate, support, and prepare students for the future. In early 2026, three major developments in the U.S. education landscape have highlighted a growing trend: institutions are moving swiftly to define, regulate, and expand the role of AI in both higher education and K-12 classrooms."

"While universities are racing to expand and refine their AI offerings, K-12 education is also grappling with how best to integrate these powerful tools." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

The Questions We Ask About AI in Education "Artificial Intelligence has entered the world of education like an explosion, leaving us reeling in its wake. Everyone has questions: how could AI reshape education? What risks does it create? These questions are natural, coming as they do from our common experiences. But what if they’re the wrong questions to ask? What if we should be questioning what we’re doing in education at all?"

"[F]ailing good answers to any of our questions, we just keep moving on, doing what we’ve always done. We need better questions than we have been asking to this point." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

AI could worsen inequalities in schools – teachers are key to whether it will Under-resourced schools are less likely to support teachers in implementing AI technology to best serve learning.
