Description

Colleges, universities and other higher education institutions are displaying a high degree of uncertainty and caution with respect to the adoption and use of AI. Concerns related to security, privacy, and academic misconduct act as cautions, though some are pioneering imaginative and creative uses of AI in teaching, learning, assessment and support services. This book explores the landscape of AI adoption and suggests ways in which AI can be deployed to improve learning and assessment. It also examines ethical and change management implications of AI.

A strong focus on ethical AI, the use of AI for regenerative thinking and a shift to problem and project-based learning are all explored as ways of overcoming faculty concerns.

This future-focused book is recommended for policy makers in government; leadership teams in colleges, polytechnics and universities; and for graduate students seeking to make sense of the fast-moving landscape.

Reviews

"Stephen Murgatroyd presents breadth-and-depth analyses of the impacts of artificial intelligence (AI) on higher education. The breadth is apparent in his discussions of various issues that affect higher education, such as financial challenges, demographic shifts, climate change, wars, and the decline of democracy, in addition to emerging technologies. The depth is evident in his detailed examinations of AI – how it emerged, how it works, what possibilities (in content creation, teaching, learning, assessment, research, mental health, and learner analytics among others) and challenges (including security, bias, academic misconduct, transparency, accessibility, and uncertainty, as well as ethical and legal issues) it poses, and what is needed to address the stated challenges. The author predicts continuous improvement of AI, offers potential scenarios for higher education with AI, and cautions against the dangers of not embracing AI. This is, to date, one of the most comprehensive books on the use of AI in higher education that is beneficial for students, teachers, researchers, administrators, and other stakeholders."
- Sachiko Matsunaga, Professor Emerita, California State University, Los Angeles

"This is a comprehensive look at what AI can do for students, teachers and the process of learning that also addresses the negative and policy issues associated with the use of AI in colleges, universities and research centres. Futures focused and scenario based, this book is a benchmark text for anyone who wants to explore what AI can do and might do as well as the potential impact it will have on the business of higher education. The author dismisses the idea that AI will transform higher education as we know it, saying it’s more likely we’ll see continuous improvement and gradual change through pockets of innovation."
