She says she always checks to make sure that what it generates is accurate 'and importantly representative of what my learning objectives are.' It's a massive time-saver, she says.""
""One national survey of more than 1,800 higher education staff members conducted by consulting firm Tyton Partners earlier this year found that about 40% of administrators and 30% of instructions use generative AI daily or weekly that's up from just 2% and 4%, respectively, in the spring of 2023. New research from Anthropic the company behind the AI chatbot Claude suggests professors around the world are using AI for curriculum development, designing lessons, conducting research,""

Use of generative AI in higher education has risen rapidly, with a national survey showing about 40% of administrators and 30% of instructors using it daily or weekly, up from single-digit percentages in spring 2023. Research from Anthropic indicates global faculty use AI for curriculum development, lesson design, research, grant writing, budgeting, grading, and interactive learning tools.
