Dr. Nadine Akkari

Session Summary:

This session addresses the strategic imperative of AI transformation in higher education, recognising the unique complexities universities face beyond classroom implementation. Unlike K-12 environments, universities must navigate research obligations, professional accreditation requirements, and extensive administrative ecosystems whilst embedding AI across teaching, learning, and assessment. The presentation provides senior leaders with a comprehensive framework for institution-wide AI adoption that builds sustainable capability, aligns with national policy frameworks, and maintains academic integrity. Participants will explore practical approaches to personalised learning, evidence-based decision-making, and accessibility enhancement whilst safeguarding assessment credibility and quality assurance standards. Participants will be able to: 

  

• Evaluate strategic frameworks for institution-wide AI integration that address the unique complexities of higher education environments, including research obligations, accreditation requirements, and administrative system interdependencies 

• Design comprehensive AI adoption strategies that embed artificial intelligence across teaching, learning, and assessment whilst maintaining academic integrity, quality assurance standards, and alignment with national policy frameworks 

• Analyse capacity-building approaches including professional development pathways, ethical governance structures, and privacy safeguards that enable universities to lead responsible AI adoption rather than merely implementing technological tools
