As AI becomes more integrated into higher education, universities must implement strong governance practices to ensure responsible use, focusing on data privacy and compliance with various regulatory frameworks like FERPA and HIPAA. Techniques such as federated learning and synthetic data generation can help maintain data privacy while maximizing AI's potential, and institutions are encouraged to modernize systems to break data silos and support ethical AI adoption across academic processes.
Cornell researchers have found a disconnect between developers and educators regarding the potential harms of using large language models (LLMs) in education, with developers focusing on technical issues while educators are concerned about broader impacts like critical thinking and inequality. The researchers recommend involving educators more in the development of educational tools to address these concerns and foster dialogue between edtech developers and teachers.
Amanda Gantt Sawyer and Marcus Wolfe, professors at JMU's College of Education, received the 2025 National Technology Leadership Initiative Fellowship for their research on preservice teachers' use of AI tools like ChatGPT in creating math curricula. Their study revealed that 64% of the adapted lessons were only visually altered without deeper content analysis, highlighting the need for future educators to critically evaluate AI-generated materials.
The AI in Education Fair at the University of Florida brought together over 150 educators, administrators, and tech innovators to explore the role of artificial intelligence in enhancing education while emphasizing ethics and equity. The event featured interactive demos, research presentations, and discussions on AI initiatives in Florida's K-12 schools, with a focus on collaboration between universities, schools, and tech partners to transform education responsibly.
Carnegie Mellon University has launched a seed grant program to support faculty in developing generative AI tools for education, offering up to $150,000 per project. This year's awardees include projects focused on enhancing student engagement, developing LLM-based feedback prompts, and creating interactive case analysis tools to provide immersive learning experiences.
Yale scientists and students emphasize that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to studying, as effective techniques vary based on individual preferences and the nature of the test. Methods like the Pomodoro technique, group study, and active engagement are popular, but success ultimately depends on aligning study habits with personal needs and test formats.
