Faculty Embrace AI in Education, Policies Trail
A new survey from D2L and Tyton Partners reveals that daily use of generative AI in education is easing faculty workloads in higher education, with over a third of frequent users reporting a noticeable reduction.
Yet, the findings also underscore mounting challenges, including added strain from monitoring student AI use in education and a lack of institutional preparedness—just 28% of institutions have formal AI policies.
As educators recognize the need to teach responsible AI use in education, the report signals a critical turning point in integrating AI into academic life.
