Failing to use AI in the classroom is a “disservice” to students, said EdTech experts at a conference about the future of online learning. Rather than be deterred by fears surrounding data privacy and cheating, universities must actively embrace generative AI to prepare students for the future of work and to enhance personalised learning and the accessibility of education, conference delegates heard. “Students will go on to get jobs where they use AI… if you’re not preparing them because of fears of AI then you’re doing them a disservice,” Ryan Lufkin, vice president of global academic strategy at Instructure told delegates of CanvasCon 2024 in Barcelona. “We need to move beyond the focus on cheating and teach students to use AI in pursuit of learning not instead of learning,” added Lufkin at last week’s event.
