How Are Educators Navigating the AI Revolution?

In this research, we examine whether post-secondary educators are using generative AI tools in their teaching practice and discuss their concerns about this emerging technology. Are they worried that students will use generative AI to cheat or submit unoriginal work? Do they believe AI tools will negatively impact students’ critical thinking skills and ability to learn for themselves? What guidance are post-secondary institutions offering educators regarding the use of generative AI? Read the data briefing to get our full analysis.
