In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, educational institutions are at the forefront of integrating smart technologies, inspired by the broader concept of smart cities. The transition to smart campuses, exemplified by the Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P) case study, is gaining momentum. However, the blueprint for an ideal…

Since the rise of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in late 2022, many scholars and thought leaders have wondered about its impact on higher education. This study used a survey methodology (three multiple choice questions and one open-ended question) to explore the perspectives of a nationally representative sample of 1,327 U.S.…

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been a hot topic since OpenAI released ChatGPT in late 2022. Predictions on how ChatGPT will affect education have ranged from fears of rampant cheating and job displacement in many career fields to glowing predictions of a future with personalized learning for all students through AI-powered tools. People are…

The digitization of the higher education process in the COVID-19 pandemic (new normal) has created a new technological wave. The COVID-19 pandemic (new normal) presents a great opportunity for higher education institutions (HEIs) to be digital and technologically innovative in their teaching and learning process through digitization. The process…

The emergence of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) has reshaped higher education with both promising opportunities and significant challenges. Yet little is known about how global educational policies are evolving to address the assessment challenges posed by GenAI in terms of 'ethical considerations.' Additionally, current research has…

In fall 2023, Ithaka S+R launched a collective research project with the objective of studying generative AI's impact on teaching, learning, and research at the postsecondary level. Through a collaboration with 19 universities from across the US and Canada, the "Making AI Generative for Higher Education" project has provided an…

This paper discusses the evolution of assessment for learning (AfL) across the globe with particular attention given to Western educational jurisdictions. Scholars from Australia, Canada, Ireland, Israel, New Zealand, Norway, and the United States discuss prominent assessment reforms within their respective countries over the last decade.…

The COVID-19 pandemic fundamentally changed how colleges and universities manage teaching and learning. "Recentering Learning" unpacks the wide-reaching implications of disruptions such as the pandemic on higher education. Editors Maggie Debelius, Joshua Kim, and Edward Maloney assembled a diverse group of scholars and practitioners to…

As the capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics continue to evolve, and the ways in which humans carry out tasks change as a result, education systems must begin to reassess the competencies required for life and work in the new context. These changes could be significant and fast. Therefore, policymakers must look beyond…

For many years, technological developments and innovations such as artificial intelligence (AI) has forced the education system to adapt and modernise. This new reality requires people to develop critical thinking (CT) skills to promote sustainable development and provide solutions to contemporary problems. However, traditional learning and…

Humanity is building exciting new partnerships with technology in the artificial intelligence age. Careers and work are rapidly being transformed and many of the jobs of tomorrow have not yet been invented. Students should make it their goal to become skilled in using AI comfortably, effectively, safely and ethically. Learn AI's capabilities and…

With the approach of constant changes and quality assurance in education, we have reached an optimum that no longer justifies all further investments in such changes, as the results of these investments are (and will be) minimal and insufficient. We have reached a stage where we must shift from evolution to revolution, from constant changes in…

This paper was written to support the G20 artificial intelligence (AI) dialogue. With the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), education faces two challenges: reaping the benefits of AI to improve education processes, both in the classroom and at the system level; and preparing students for new skillsets for increasingly automated economies and…

This report describes the current state of the art in artificial intelligence (AI) and its potential impact for learning, teaching, and education. It provides conceptual foundations for well-informed policy-oriented work, research, and forward-looking activities that address the opportunities and challenges created by recent developments in AI.…

Machines are eating humans' jobs talents. And it is not just about jobs that are repetitive and low skill. Automation, robotics, algorithms and artificial intelligence (AI) in recent times have shown they can do equal or sometimes even better work than humans who are dermatologists, insurance claims adjusters, lawyers, seismic testers in oil…
