The Future isn’t AI vs. Humans. It’s AI + Human Connection
AI is reshaping how students study, how faculty work and how institutions prepare graduates for the future. The research is clear: Students want AI to help them learn, not just complete tasks; educators want tools that lighten workloads without eroding human connection; and institutions must move quickly to close equity gaps and align AI use with outcomes. The challenge is no longer whether AI belongs in education, but how to harness it with intention, transparency and equity.
D2L can help institutions meet this moment by providing the strategy, tools and support to design purposeful AI for learning that strengthens engagement, protects equity and keeps human connection at the heart of education.
