Ithaka S+R Releases “Generative AI in Higher Education: The Product Landscape” (Issue Brief and Product Tracker)
From an Ithaka S+R Blog Post by the Report’s Co-Authors, Claire Baytas and Dylan Ruediger):
As part of our Making AI Generative for Higher Education project, conducted in partnership with 19 colleges and universities, Ithaka S+R has been closely tracking the GAI product landscape through a unique Product Tracking Tool. The Product Tracker includes a basic description of GAI tools marketed towards postsecondary faculty or student users, as well as information about the pricing model, key features, and other relevant details such as the large language model or datasets behind the tool or background on the vendor. The Product Tracker is a living document, which we update regularly as new products come to market or new information about existing products becomes available.
We are excited to announce that we are releasing our Product Tracker for public use today alongside an issue brief exploring what these products suggest about the future of generative AI in teaching, learning, and academic research. Together, these two publications provide the higher education community with an easy way to keep up with developments in this space and assess the value of individual products.
