AI-PowerED: Will AI Change Postsecondary Teaching and Learning?

What are the perceived impacts of generative artificial intelligence (AI) on postsecondary teaching and learning? In this research, we discuss the findings of our interviews with 42 individuals who are leading or supporting AI integration in postsecondary institutions (PSIs).

What are some risks of AI use in post-secondary education, and how can PSIs mitigate them? Do PSIs have clear policies and processes regarding AI use? What training would be useful for students, faculty, and staff?

Key findings

Many individuals leading or supporting the integration of AI in postsecondary institutions stated that generative AI can become a tool for higher-order learning. Intentional, transparent, and critical engagement with AI could potentially reshape teaching and learning for the better.

Many interview participants highlighted that generative AI could offer tailored support, especially for students with diverse learning needs and challenges.

AI training for students and educators is in high demand. Beyond practical skills like prompt engineering, AI critical literacy is needed to maximize the technology’s benefits and fully comprehend its drawbacks.
