Two AI cases: Aalto’s generative AI adoption and tool development for teaching improvement, and Aveiro’s data-driven tool for smarter decision-making.
In higher education, Aalto University and the University of Aveiro show how AI is changing how they work, the tools they use, and the extra steps they take.
Aalto University explores the use of generative AI by focusing on its impact on teachers, technology, and the adoption of legal regulations. Teachers share why they choose to use AI in their classrooms and how it improves learning. The university explains how they set up the necessary technology while ensuring compliance with laws like the EU AI Act and GDPR. Finally, they discuss the aspects of AI adoption and the methods used, aiming to establish AI literacy to ensure ethical and effective integration throughout the campus.
On the other hand, the University of Aveiro focuses on using AI to make better decisions. They gather data from different areas, such as teaching and sustainability, into a single system called the Indicators Portal. This allows everyone in the university to access useful information easily. By using machine learning, Aveiro can predict which students might drop out, helping the university make smarter choices. This tool provides important insights that support decision-making and improve student retention.
Both universities demonstrate how AI can transform higher education by making teaching better and helping management make informed decisions
