GenAI is having a significant impact on our professional lives. There are estimates that more than 80% of current jobs will be impacted by AI (Hie & Thouary, 2023; Eloundou, Manning, Miskin, Rock, 2023). Despite this proliferation of AI in the workplace, at the end of 2023 more than half of higher education professionals had yet to start addressing or using AI in their classrooms (Khan & Okahana, 2024). A report by Ruediger et al. (2024) states that while many instructors are starting to have a "passing familiarity" with GenAI the majority are not confident using GenAI in an educational context (see below or Link). For a more comprehensive look at AI and Higher Ed, see the resources below.

Educators need to understand how their students can leverage AI tools to enhance their learning experience. This section provides a brief introduction to how students can use AI for research, studying, and content creation. You'll also find links to outside resources to deepen your understanding and continue your exploration of AI in education. For more information and resources see the AI In Your Classroom page.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing how students conduct research by providing faster access to information and enhancing the quality of their findings. AI-powered tools like Semantic Scholar or Google Scholar can help students sift through extensive databases to find relevant academic papers and sources swiftly. AI-driven analytics platforms (Google Cloud) can analyze data trends and generate visualizations, making identifying and understanding complex patterns easier for students. By integrating AI tools into their research processes, students can achieve deeper insights and more comprehensive results.

AI technologies transform how students study by customizing learning experiences and improving retention rates. Tools like Quizlet’s AI-powered learning assistant use spaced repetition algorithms to help students study more effectively by reminding them to review material at optimal intervals. Additionally, AI-driven tutoring systems such as Carnegie Learning provide real-time feedback and personalized instruction, adapting to each student’s learning pace and style. These tools not only enhance understanding but also keep students engaged and motivated.

Students can leverage AI to enhance their content creation, from writing papers to developing multimedia projects (audio, video, images, 3D objects).
AI writing assistants like Grammarly and Hemingway provide real-time grammar and style suggestions, making it easier to polish essays and reports. For more creative tasks, AI applications like Canva’s Magic Write and ChatGTP offer design assistance, suggesting layouts and generating graphics based on user input.
These AI tools streamline the creative process and empower students to produce high-quality, innovative content.
