Old Dominion University Professor Co-Authors UNESCO Paper on AI's Impact on Higher Education

Dr. Helen Crompton, a professor of instructional technology at Old Dominion University (ODU) and executive director of its Research Institute for Digital Innovation in Learning, is co-authoring a working paper for the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). The paper, co-authored with Dr. Admire Mare of the University of Johannesburg, examines the implications of artificial intelligence (AI) for higher education institutions, focusing on policy and practice. Their research addresses critical decisions universities face regarding AI, such as assessing student learning, preparing faculty, protecting information, and setting expectations for a rapidly evolving technology. Dr. Crompton emphasizes the need for educators to understand AI's capabilities and limitations, encouraging ethical and reasonable use. The work also considers institutions with varying resources and needs, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, to provide a comprehensive perspective on AI integration in diver...

Representative Rich McCormick Participates in Georgia Tech's Inaugural Foundry School Lecture on Advanced Manufacturing

Representative Rich McCormick, U.S. Representative for Georgia's 7th Congressional District, was a key participant in the first Foundry School lecture hosted by Georgia Tech. This event, held on November 12, 2026, at Georgia Tech’s Advanced Manufacturing Pilot Facility (AMPF) in Atlanta, launched a national initiative aimed at preparing the American workforce for the next generation of factories. The Foundry School, a Stanford University-led initiative in collaboration with the U.S. Department of State, focuses on advancing manufacturing education and strengthening U.S. competitiveness. The lecture, titled 'Foundry School: Digital Factory — The Future for the American Worker and U.S. Manufacturing,' explored how digital technologies are transforming factories and the necessary skills to operate them. Attendees toured the AMPF, witnessing demonstrations of digital twins, industrial artificial intelligence, robotics, and connected equipment. A panel discussion, featuring leaders from government, industry, ac...

Stanford Review Highlights Mixed Impact of AI Tools on K-12 Education

Stanford Review Highlights Mixed Impact of AI Tools on K-12 Education

A November 2026 review by the SCALE Initiative at Stanford University, titled 'The Evidence Base on AI in K-12,' indicates that the causal evidence on generative artificial intelligence (AI) in education has substantially grown, but its impact remains mixed. The review, which examined 32 new causal papers published between October 2025 and June 2026, found that AI appears more likely to support learning when students use it to understand new material rather than to produce work for them. However, neither type of use consistently improves learning outcomes. Using AI to offload academic tasks can reduce student learning, while using it explicitly for studying and learning shows more favorable, though still mixed, results. The report also notes that AI tools can improve students' learning experiences and well-being, even when not directly improving learning outcomes. Research on educator-facing AI tools suggests they can save teachers time on tasks like lesson planning and improve feedback quality, but can al...

University of Alaska Board of Regents Delays AI Statement Amid Feedback

University of Alaska Board of Regents Delays AI Statement Amid Feedback

The University of Alaska Board of Regents has postponed the release of its statement of intent regarding the system's use of artificial intelligence. This delay comes after receiving feedback, indicating a need for further consideration and possibly revisions to the proposed guidelines. The initial statement was intended to outline the university system's approach to integrating and managing AI technologies across its various campuses and programs. The decision to delay suggests that the Board is taking a cautious and deliberative approach to a rapidly evolving technological landscape, aiming to ensure that the final policy adequately addresses concerns and incorporates diverse perspectives from stakeholders within and outside the university community. The specific nature of the feedback received has not been publicly detailed, but it has been significant enough to warrant a pause in the policy's progression.

University at Albany Launches New Data Science Bachelor's Program to Meet AI Demand

University at Albany Launches New Data Science Bachelor's Program to Meet AI Demand

The University at Albany has introduced a new bachelor's degree program in data science, designed to prepare students for careers in rapidly growing fields such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data analytics. Launched this fall through the Department of Mathematics & Statistics, the program combines a strong mathematical foundation with practical training in statistics, programming, machine learning, and data analysis. Students will learn to analyze complex datasets, build predictive models, and solve real-world problems. The curriculum emphasizes the underlying mathematics of evolving technologies, including coursework in calculus, linear algebra, probability and statistics, computational thinking, optimization, statistical machine learning, and topological data analysis. This initiative responds to the significant demand for professionals with AI and big data skills, with the World Economic Forum estimating that 59 out of every 100 workers will require such training by 2030.
