This episode breaks down the key insights from the Instructure Roundtable at EDUCAUSE 2025, where leaders from major universities explored how AI is reshaping higher education. Rather than replacing human interaction, AI is emerging as a catalyst for connection—automating routine tasks so faculty can focus on mentorship and meaningful engagement. We look at shifting student expectations for seamless, digital-first learning, the rise of microcredentials, and how institutions are preparing for a future defined by personalized, lifelong learning. The message is clear: innovation should strengthen the human heart of education.
