As generative AI tools continue to evolve, we’re working with colleges and universities to navigate the impacts of AI on teaching, learning, and research. Our cohort projects create space for collaboration and peer-to-peer learning, empower institutions with the research-backed insights to inform decision-making, and help participants create actionable plans to suit their campus needs.
We’ve worked with academic libraries, teaching and learning centers, and college administrators across more than 60 institutions, and led cohorts focused on integrating AI literacy into the curricula, teaching and learning with AI, and making AI generative for higher education.

AI-Ready Assessment: A Collaborative Cohort for Faculty Developers
How should faculty assess student learning in the age of AI? Our AI-Ready Assessment cohort will work with centers of teaching and learning, and other units responsible for supporting faculty with the pedagogical needs, to develop practical resources and strategies to support teaching in an AI-mediated learning environment.
Over the course of 12 months, participants will work with Ithaka S+R experts and researchers to investigate how Gen AI impacts the creation of assignments, the corresponding assessment of student learning, and how faculty can and should respond to this changing educational environment.
Defining AI Literacy Cohort: Advancing AI Literacy on Campus
How can colleges and universities foster AI literacy on campus? This cohort project will convene approximately 15 institutions to define AI literacy using established information literacy frameworks. Cohort members will conduct qualitative research to learn directly from students and faculty on their campuses, then convene to ideate tangible solutions to the challenges and opportunities surfaced in their research.
Participants will walk away from the six-month program with a deep understanding of the information needs of their unique campuses, as well as a roadmap for incorporating AI literacy into their practices, through the library or other university units.
“As a regional community-engaged institution, it was great to work with much larger and research-focused institutions, both nationally and internationally. With a student population made up of non-traditional students, working adults, and first-generation college students, UBalt brought a unique perspective on AI in practice. This cohort gave us the opportunity to forge ahead and create an evidence-based pathway to approach AI, and that process continues to drive our AI journey today.”
