No surprise here. Isaac Abbs is one of the clearest thinkers I’ve come across in higher ed right now, pushing beyond AI as a tool and toward AI as infrastructure for student + Faculty potential. “You cannot let the slowest part of your organisation dictate the pace of your students’ future.”

Want to know the best way to plan an AI rollout in a school district? Bring everyone to the table. Today the Santa Clara Unified School District AI Advisory Committee did exactly that — teachers, vice principals, students, and classified staff all in the room together. The result? A much clearer picture of how to actually implement AI tools in a way that works for real people. Here's what we walked away with: - Start with the right people, not all the people at once - Match the tool to the level — elementary, middle, high school, and business ops each have different needs - Don't rush it. Pace matters more than speed - Most importantly — lead with WHY before you ever talk tools That last one? It changes everything. Thanks to the SCUSD AI Advisory Committee for the candid insights today. This is the work that makes the difference. 💡 #SCUSDproud #AIinEducation #EdTech #LaborManagement #SchoolLeadership Phanom "Amber" Wacht Stephanie Rothstein Aaron Lindley Kaashvi Mittal Mark Schiel

How do you ensure every learner can access your video content? This March, we’re hosting a webinar on designing accessible video learning that works for everyone. Join accessibility and educational technology leaders from the University of Washington and Boise State University as we explore practical approaches to making video learning more inclusive. We’ll discuss how captions, transcripts, audio descriptions, and navigable video structure support student success and institutional accessibility readiness. We’ll also share Panopto platform updates aligned with WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards for both recorded and live content. Register here: https://panop.to/4kXEHxa #Webinar

At Kyndryl, our strength lies in co-creating with our customers — bringing together deep domain expertise, human-centred design (through Vital workshops), and leading-edge technologies to build resilient, intelligent platforms that truly evolve our customers’ capabilities and deliver lasting impact. In partnership with AWS and local universities and tertiary education providers across Australia and New Zealand, we can help transform the student experience. By co-creating solutions, leveraging their deep understanding of student needs, and combining that with Amazon Web Services (AWS)’s AI and CX technologies, we can design smarter, more personalised, and more effective student support systems. Let’s reimagine what’s possible. Together. This case study shows the art of the possible: UCLA Anderson, Kyndryl and #AWS co-created an AI-powered student assistant platform that centralised disparate student data, ensured data governance and security, and delivered simple, intelligent guidance via ML and GenAI. It’s a great example of how collaboration, innovation, and the right technology can unlock new possibilities for the future of education.
