A recent EdTech article highlights several strategies that instructors are using to integrate AI into the classroom to benefit students. Instructor Andrew DeOrio (University of Michigan) introduced a custom AI chatbot to help with a project. DeOrio noted two benefits: most students who used the bot (77%) said it was helpful and the topics of inquiries that students brought to him directly were more complex. Alexa Alice Joubin (The George Washington University) shared how she has used a custom AI teaching assistant prototype to provide feedback on student writing. Muhsinah Morris (Morehouse College) discussed how using an AI version of herself increases student comfort and helps students work independently. The article concludes by highlighting best practices such as cybersecurity measures and predefined boundaries to ensure student safety.
