Artificial intelligence carries a promise of personalized learning at scale by enabling universities to create adaptive learning environments that respond to students’ unique needs. From real-time progress monitoring to customized study paths, AI helps deliver a more individualized educational experience, fostering better engagement and learning outcomes. Here's how universities around the world are leveraging this new capability.
Carleton’s pilot program of Studiosity, an AI-powered writing assistant, provides students with real-time, actionable feedback on their writing.
The tool is being used across various courses, such as psychology. Studiosity focuses on enhancing grammar, sentence structure, and clarity, allowing learners to refine their work before submitting it.
This immediate, adaptive support not only improves the quality of student submissions but also cultivates a sense of independence among learners.
By providing immediate writing assistance, Studiosity enables students to take ownership of their learning process, reducing reliance on instructors for basic feedback. The tool is particularly beneficial for students transitioning from high school to university, where the expectations for academic writing are significantly higher.

Some faculty members are experimenting with ChatGPT to generate assignments tailored to individual student interests, preferences, and skill levels.
Instead of assigning generic prompts to an entire class, instructors use AI to create dynamic, personalized questions that resonate with students' unique motivations.
For example, psychology instructors use ChatGPT to create scenario-based exercises that align with students’ career aspirations, fostering deeper engagement and creativity in their responses.
These tailored assignments encourage students to explore topics they’re passionate about, leading to more meaningful learning outcomes.
