Amplifying Faculty With AI

Why it matters:

Many institutions are using AI to improve efficiency, automate grading, and reduce administrative workload. That is only part of the opportunity.

The big picture:

Rajen Sheth, CEO of Kyron Learning, argues that the real value of AI lies in amplifying faculty expertise and improving student outcomes. AI should extend instruction, not sit alongside it or replace it.

What stands out:

• AI can personalize instruction at scale while aligning with a faculty member’s teaching style.
• When faculty control how AI supports their courses, students receive clearer guidance and better feedback.
• Institutions like Western Governors University and Miami Dade College are seeing stronger engagement when AI supplements instruction.

What’s next:

As AI becomes foundational across industries, institutions must prepare students for a workforce where adaptability and AI literacy are core competencies.

Bottom line:

AI in higher education is not about replacing instructors. It is about extending their reach, personalizing learning, and improving outcomes at scale.
