The Opportunities of GenAI in Higher Education

This post is provided by guest blogger, Jocelyn Lupercio, graduate student at the University of St. Francis in Joliet, MBA program.

This article on the NIH website highlights the current transformation GenAI is having on higher education. The use of GenAI in higher education has become so conventional that now more than half of students report using GenAI and much of that use being undetected by educators. While GenAI has created new concerns in higher education, GenAi also offers a range of opportunities for personalized learning and the expansion of access to knowledge. The article frames GenAI as a need for gradual transformation to ensure that human centered values remain at the forefront of higher education

While the article offers opportunities for GenAI in higher education and highlights the significance of institutional responsibility, the suggestions offer limited details, evidence and data and remain very conceptual. The discussion could be strengthened by evidence derived from case studies and offering the student perspective as well.
