AI Commons Bulletin 2/3/2025
Human-curated news about generative AI for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education.
👀 Get an Inside Look at How Students Use a Course Tutor
Social Science educators at Eötvös Loránd University (Hungary) found their simple chatbot for learning statistics boosted critical thinking and active learning for some students, who strongly supported its use.

🔮 The Use of AI Isn’t Enough on Its Own to Predict Student Performance
AI’s impact on learning sparks both hype and warnings, with evidence supporting both views. This balance is likely to persist through the next academic year.

🎓 DOE’s AI Recommendations for Postsecondary Education
Establish transparent policies
Create/expand infrastructure to support AI
Rigorously test and evaluate AI-driven tools, supports, and services
Forge partnerships with industry, nonprofit, and other HE institutions
Review and update program offerings to address the growing impact of AI on future careers

👀 Soon Students Can Let ChatGPT “See” Their Screen
Expect this to have a big impact on teaching and learning practices. Some of the possible ways an AI could assist a student:
- Walk through a multi-step assignment
- Tutor how to use a software application
- Provide feedback as the student sketches out an answer
- Craft an answer to an instructor's question during a synchronous online course

📰 Chronicle of Higher Ed Launches AI Chatbot
The Chronicle of Higher Education has rolled out an AI-powered chatbot to help users navigate its vast archives and answer common higher ed questions. While details on its training data and accuracy are limited, this marks another step in AI’s growing role in academic media.

📕 New Book on AI and HE explores The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
The good: AI is here to stay, so let’s make it work for students.
The bad: Convenience comes at the cost of deeper intellectual labor.
The ugly: AI risks shaping a culture of compliance—where decisions are guided by systems without consciousness or accountability.

❓ If You Teach AI Literacy, Don’t Forget to Assess the RAG as Well as the LLM
When LLMs use retrieval augmented generation (RAG), they can give more trustworthy responses. What does that mean? Ni and colleagues (2025) evaluate rages, using NIST’s list of essentials:
Reliability
Privacy
Explainability
Fairness
Accountability
Safety

🤖 On the Horizon: More and More Automated Instruction, Less Faculty?
We should think critically before it’s too late. A study found students using an AI course tutor performed as well and were as satisfied as those in instructor-led courses. As publishers integrate AI tutors, instructors may rely on them more, reducing direct teaching.
