Actionable AI: Making Sense of Artificial Intelligence

We're excited to kick off our newest webinar series, Actionable AI: Your Roadmap for AI Readiness in Higher Education.

We recently began our five-part series with Part One, "Actionable AI: Making Sense of Artificial Intelligence."

It was your jargon-free gateway into the world of AI, demystifying its role and impact in higher education. Forget those dry, technical lectures – we're focusing on clarity and actionable knowledge.

As we delve further into the AI landscape, our hope isn't just to demystify; we want to show how AI can amplify student experiences, supercharge team productivity, and refresh teaching and learning methods.

If you missed our first webinar, no FOMO needed. We covered the essentials, breaking down AI complexities and offering insights that'll stay with you. Ready to catch up on the AI revolution? Dive into our recap now!

Understanding AI

AI is more than just a buzzword; it's a game-changer. As we dissect AI's significance in higher ed, we want to showcase how it goes beyond the theoretical to the practical.

To put it plainly, AI is the study of how to make computers think like humans through the development of algorithms that can learn from data, reason about the world, and make decisions in a way that is similar to how humans do.

You can think of AI as the overarching term encompassing machine learning, deep learning, large language models (like ChatGPT), generative AI, computer vision, speech recognition, natural language processing, reinforcement learning, and more.

Unlike fleeting trends, our approach to AI is harnessing new tools to make our daily work more effective. AI's impact goes beyond the surface, revolutionizing processes and enhancing outcomes.

AI is here to address real challenges. From personalized student experiences to optimizing administrative tasks, AI tackles the issues that educational professionals face daily. It's a practical, problem-solving powerhouse.

Amplifying Student Experiences

Part 1 didn't stop at theory; we dove into the tangible benefits.

Imagine personalized interactions, tailored support, and a learning environment that adapts to individual needs.

It's possible with AI-powered tools such as 24/7 support chatbots, proactive outreach, and hyper-personalized marketing.

Supercharging Team Productivity

Your team is the backbone of any institution. AI isn't here to replace them but to boost their superpowers. We explored how AI can streamline workflows, automate repetitive tasks, and free up valuable time for your team to focus on what truly matters.

Harnessing the power of AI for productivity can mean using tools for content generation, knowledge discovery, and access to actionable insights.

Refreshing Teaching and Learning

Teaching methods evolve, and so should the tools. AI isn't just a technological upgrade; it's a fresh perspective on education.

From adaptive learning platforms and content generation to innovative teaching aids and AI tutors, we unveiled how AI can breathe new life into teaching and learning methods.

Where To Start With AI

In our webinar, we also discussed some of the roadblocks that organizations may be experiencing as they have serious conversations around AI adoption. Identifying suitable use cases and navigating the complexities of AI tools can be stumbling blocks.

Beyond these concerns, longstanding issues like data governance and technology distrust have impeded AI adoption in industries, including higher education.

However, our session addressed these fears and reframed the narrative around AI. We highlighted the myriad ways AI can benefit institutions, augmenting staff effectiveness without displacing them. It's also noteworthy that the latest AI systems are continuously improving in security with each update.
