AI is changing learning: Are institutions keeping up or just keeping pace?
As AI becomes embedded in students' daily lives, institutions face a critical question: how do you respond with pedagogy, not just policy?
During this 2026 EDUCAUSE Demo Day session, FeedbackFruits shows a different approach to AI in higher education: not as a threat to control, but as an opportunity to redesign learning for deeper engagement, genuine understanding, and real skill development.
Though a live demo of our Acai features and other FeedbackFruits learning tools, you'll see what it looks like when AI serves your pedagogy at every step: from discussion and peer review to grading and oral assessment, while keeping instructors firmly in control.
What you'll learn
- Why the current institutional response to AI isn't enough and what a pedagogy-first alternative looks like
- How to rethink assessment design to foster skills that AI cannot replace
- How FeedbackFruits AI coach can actively guide students toward deeper thinking and higher-quality work
- How educators can save time on grading and feedback workflows without losing oversight or academic integrity
