Artificial intelligence in higher education: The state of the field
Crompton, H., & Burke, D. (2023). Artificial intelligence in higher education: The state of the field. International Journal of Educational Technology in Higher Education, 20, 22.
FOUND
A systematic review mapping what AI-in-higher-education research actually covers — and its blind spots, chief among them the thin evidence base for institutional strategy (plenty of tool studies, almost no strategy studies).
MEANS
It told the field its own shape: we know a lot about what AI tools do in classrooms and almost nothing about how institutions should govern them.
SI DATA
Our Global University AI Policy Audit 2026 is a direct answer to that gap \u2014 primary data on what 186 institutions actually do, not what vendors claim they do.
