Three-quarters of higher education staff want clear, defined policies on AI, new D2L survey finds
Nearly three-quarters (74 percent) said they want a clear, defined policy on the use of AI, yet less than half (46 percent) said that their institutions have provided explicit guidance on how it should be used.
The survey also found that 64 percent of educators have access to paid AI tools and 63 percent said their use of them had increased this academic year. However, 30 percent of those surveyed said they are still not using AI.
Among those using AI, 52 percent said it was saving them time, while 40 percent said it had no impact on their schedule and eight percent said it had added time to their workweek.
Educators remain concerned about student use of AI, with 60 percent saying they have redesigned assessments as a result of its more widespread use.
"At Southeastern, we've been able to unlock incredible value through the use of Lumi directly inside of the Brightspace platform," comments Justin Rose, Associate Vice President for Information Management and Digital Learning at Southeastern University. "We can be confident that our instructional designers and our faculty subject matter experts and others involved in that process are using a shared centralized tool that has been fine-tuned with higher education pedagogical requirements in mind."
