Year Awarded: 2024
The research seeks to critically analyse perspectives of students, lecturers and other relevant stakeholders on the use of AI in teaching, learning and research, and explore ways these digital technologies could be harnessed to transform university education in Kenya. The research specifically seeks to understand how students and faculty of different disciplines use AI, how they perceive its potential and impact, and to gain insights into how key stakeholders think such tools could transform the future of higher education in the country. Guided by the findings, the study seeks to suggest guidelines/frameworks to promote and integrate AI in university education. The literature points out that the absence of coherent academic policies/procedures and frameworks exacerbates the problem of AI development and implementation in higher education in Kenya.
