The Future

While lesson planning and assignment design are the areas most immediately reshaped by AI, they are not the only parts of education that will change. Over the coming years, AI will weave itself into many other aspects of academic life, often in ways that are less visible but equally significant. These shifts will not replace the role of teachers but will alter how time and attention are distributed across teaching, assessment, and research.

The sections ahead highlight three areas where these changes are already beginning to take shape: group projects, grading assignments, and academic research. By looking at these cases, you will gain a clearer picture of where the greatest opportunities and challenges lie ahead.
