Manifesto for Generative AI in Higher Education

Rethinking Teaching and Learning

Statement 01 of 30

We teach in an age of abundance, not scarcity.

Why this matters

Information is accessible and freely available - it overflows onto our screens. The work of educators is to help students find meaning in the deluge, guiding them to discern, connect, and critique. GenAI does not give us more knowledge; it reveals how much we already overlook. Teaching now means navigating excess with purpose.

A question for reflection

How has abundant access to information changed what educators should spend their time teaching?
