A final salute to a truly amazing learning experience at the Teaching and Learning with AI Conference this week in Orlando, where more than 1,100 faculty and staff from 48 states and eight countries came together to explore some of the best ideas about AI and higher ed. I am leaving with 23 sessions under my belt and literally 15 pages of notes from the various presentations. There were more than 300 sessions to choose from over the course of the three days. And every day, I was definitely in the AI Playground, getting up to speed on Claude through the Claude tutorials. ( Clearly, I have a lot more to learn on this 🤔 ). Savannah was well represented, with colleagues from #SSU and Savannah Tech in the house. Now, of course, the big task as I return to #SSU is figuring out how to unpack all of this new learning and apply at least one thing to help drive student success in the upcoming academic year. #HigherEducation #AI #TeachingAndLearningWithAI #StudentSuccess #FacultyDevelopment #HigherEdLeadership #InnovationInEducation #FutureOfWork #SSU #CMAC

Not every faculty member needs to embrace AI—and that’s okay. That was one of the most important takeaways from the Teaching and Learning with AI conference this week in Orlando, where nearly 1,200 faculty and staff from 48 states and eight countries gathered to talk about the future of AI in higher ed. While the conference did focus on helping more faculty experiment with AI tools, conference co-host and organizer Dr. Kevin Yee, director of the Faculty Center for Teaching & Learning at the University of Central Florida, also made the case for healthy skepticism. In some disciplines, he noted, AI may simply not be appropriate—and faculty should have room to make that judgment. He said it’s a balance between curiosity and caution. #TeachingAndLearning #FacultyDevelopment #AIinEducation #TeachingWithAI #AIandEducation #InstructionalInnovation #FacultyPerspectives #FutureOfTeaching
