Have your Say: PebblePad Announces Ground-breaking Global Study on AI in Higher Education: 

PebblePad also revealed its ongoing work on a pioneering global study focused on the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Higher Education (HE). This ground-breaking initiative, unveiled at the annual UK user conference, demonstrates PebblePad’s commitment to driving innovation in the education sector. 

Recognizing the transformative power of AI in higher education, PebblePad embarked on a comprehensive study to help institutions effectively and ethically embrace AI. The study involved surveying over 1,500 students from various academic disciplines and geographical regions, gathering valuable insights into their experiences and expectations regarding AI in education. Now, PebblePad is extending its reach to educators, inviting them to contribute their perspectives and expertise to the study. 

The outcome of this ambitious research endeavor will be an instructional report providing practical advice and guidance on optimizing the use of AI in educational practices. The report will cover key areas such as AI-powered personalized learning experiences, intelligent assessment and feedback mechanisms, ethical considerations and privacy concerns, AI-supported administrative processes, efficiency improvements, and future trends in AI adoption in higher education.

PebblePad encourages educators, administrators, managers, and other stakeholders in the Higher Education community to participate in the study and shape the future of AI in education. By contributing their insights and experiences, individuals can help develop best practices that benefit both students and institutions.
