• Assessments in Teaching and Learning in the Age of AI - Ray Schroeder, Inside Higher Ed
  Some faculty members fail to recognize that the world has changed and we must respond to those changes in how and what we do to prepare learners for their careers and personal aspirations. It is frustrating for many to be required to redesign their teaching content and methods in response to the larger worldwide technological […]
• Why Hands-On Training Still Matters in a Digital Age - Michael Burke, Occupational Health and Safety
  Over the last quarter century, computer-based and online learning have become basic components of many emergency and disaster response training programs.

• AI in the Business Classroom: Building Better Thinkers in Macroeconomics - University of Dayton
  Artificial intelligence is changing how students access information. For Marlon Williams, associate professor of economics, that isn't a challenge. It's an opportunity to help students think more deeply. In ECO 204: Principles of Macroeconomics, Williams uses AI to reinforce learning rather than replace it, reflecting the University of Dayton School of Business Administration's approach to […]
• AI Isn’t the Problem. We Are. - Louis-Francois P. Belanger and Zakiriya H. Gladney, Harvard Crimson
  As students, part of our engagement with our education is externally motivated — and reasonably so. Competitive admissions select for students who treat knowledge as capital, something to acquire and exchange for other goods: we pursue grades, summer programs, and extracurriculars to get into selective universities. Once we get to Harvard, these pressures return as […]
• AI is changing work. Now it has to change the organization - Alexis Krivkovich, Brooke Weddle, Holly Price, and Vik Sohoni, McKinsey
  Agentic AI changes three fundamental constraints that have shaped the modern organization: human capacity, expertise, and coordination. For more than a century, the familiar building blocks of organizational design, from tasks and jobs to teams, management layers, and hierarchies, have reflected those constraints. AI doesn’t remove them entirely, but it alters them enough that leaders […]
• Before HR Automates a Task With AI, Ask What It Used to Teach - Dmitry Zaytsev, SHRM
  That question matters because some work that looks inefficient on a process map is also where employees learn judgment, context, and quality. Early drafts, basic analysis, research summaries, first customer responses, and routine problem solving may be slow. They may need manager review. They may not look strategic. But for many employees, especially early career […]
• A university-branded boot camp promised tech jobs. It delivered only debt - Sarah Butrymowicz, Hechinger Report
  To its critics, including many former students who feel misled by the company, the sudden closure of IronCircle may seem a fitting culmination to its eight years of operation. The company, which had gone through two name changes in that time, regularly charged students as much as $18,900 for classes and then failed to help […]
• Six HBCUs Join Forces To Expand Access To Online Education - RTM Newsroom, Michigan Chronicle

• How Artificial Intelligence Can Help With Critical Thinking - Monideepa Tarafdar, Greater Good Berkley.edu
  Ironically, perhaps, recent research shows that people who interact with generative AI for work tasks can end up not thinking critically. They can surrender to AI’s quick and confident answers, which can lead to speedy but low-quality solutions. Scholars refer to this increasingly prevalent problem as cognitive offloading. And they are showing that it can […]
• You Still Should Go To College In The Age Of AI. Here’s Why. - Jamie Merisotis, Forbes
  Rapid advancements in artificial intelligence have raised uncertainty about jobs and the value of college. According to the Pew Research Center, young adults increasingly worry about AI taking jobs. No job is entirely AI-proof, creating a need for education and training that emphasizes human skills and adaptability. For college to remain valuable, it must become […]

  Students in higher education increasingly receive academic and co-curricular information through official online pages, groups, and messaging channels. Although these channels are common, less is known about whether students experience them as complete, accurate, and retrievable digital media spaces that support participation in the wider higher education environment. This cross-sectional quantitative study examined 400 students […]

• What Does the Credential Still Certify? Cognitive Stewardship for AI-Mediated Education - Kai Yao, AIES 2026
  Generative  AI  is  changing  a  basic  premise  of  educationalassessment:  that  submitted  work  can  reliably  evidence  thehuman  capacities  a  credential  claims  to  certify.  The  chal-lenge  is  not  simply  whether  students  use  AI,  but  what  re-mains  inferable  about  learning  when  some  cognitive  workhas been delegated to a system. This paper developscogni-tive  stewardship,  a  framework  for  AI-mediated  assessmentthat […]
• Strategies for making online courses more impactful - Heather Gass, Times Higher Education

• What’s the value of a university education? - Mariianne Mays Wiebe, University of Manitoba Today
  What is the role of the university in the face of the major societal shift represented by artificial intelligence? Universities should continue to “embrace our role as institutions where students learn how to think, not what to think,” says Hiebert-Murphy. A university education, she suggests, “offers a learning environment in which students develop the skills […]
