Mind the Gap: Adapting Higher Education to the Age of AI

Project Description

The rise of GenAI tools like ChatGPT is outpacing universities' ability to adapt their curricula, assessments, and integrity rules. Mind The Gap (MTG) is an eight-month interdisciplinary open innovation project that develops and pilots a proof-of concept platform to help educators redesign courses for the GenAI era. It maps educator needs, co-designs a web prototype that analyzes syllabi, flags AI-automatable tasks, and proposes higher-order alternatives using a neurosymbolic approach. Piloted in business and engineering domains, MTG key outputs include a web prototype, a prompt-rule library, guidelines, and an anonymized dataset. MTG will enable educators to efficiently audit and improve course design, promoting ethical and scalable GenAI integration in higher education.
