• Spring 2024 AI Student Survey

  During Week 2 of Spring 2024 classes, Teaching and Learning Innovations distributed a brief AI survey to students. We asked questions about whether and how students are using AI tools generally and for their course work, whether their instructors had communicated guidelines around AI usage in their courses, and what advantages or concerns students may have about AI diffusion in higher education. View the Spring 2024 AI Student Survey Data Brief.

• AI Summit
