The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping higher education, impacting student recruitment, teaching, assessment and engagement. AI's role raises questions about faculty's future responsibilities and the potential for AI-enabled platforms to offer education anytime, anywhere. This shift could democratize education and introduce new competitors like GoogleU or OpenAI College. Additionally, programs not incorporating AI may lag behind, with a significant debate on whether AI will adapt to faculty needs or vice versa. The integration and adaptation to AI in education is crucial for maintaining relevance and enhancing learning outcomes.

This webinar helps you to: 

  • Understand the extent of the AI challenge facing higher education
  • Be prepared to ask better questions about a college or university’s strategic intentions for the future in the age of AI 
  • Identify the key elements shaping the direction of travel for strategy at the college level: costs, political dynamics, demography and technology
  • Better understand the unique value proposition a faculty member brings to the work of teaching and learning (and it’s not all about subject matter expertise)
