Ferguson, Director of Paralegal Studies<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized various industries, and now it is making its way into the realm of education. In recent years, AI software has proven to be a valuable tool for college instructors to enhance their teaching methods and improve student outcomes. Recently, I decided it was time to grow up and accept the fact that Artificial Intelligence (AI) is here to stay.&nbsp; I set out to learn as much as I could about this technology and how it could benefit me as a college instructor as well as my students in the future.&nbsp; I found that for the most part, AI software is not as advanced as I would like it to be, but is improving each and every day.&nbsp; There were many free programs such as ChatGPT, and Bing\u2019s new AI powered search engine among several others.&nbsp; For a while it appeared that new AI software was created every day and that is not far from the truth with AI creating its own version of AI.&nbsp; However, I have found several AI software programs designed specifically for teachers. One such AI software that has gained recognition in the educational field is MagicSchool.ai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MagicSchool.ai offers a range of functions specifically designed for college-level instructors. Let&#8217;s explore how this MagicSchool.ai can assist instructors in creating a more efficient and effective learning environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Assignments:<\/strong> With MagicSchool.ai, instructors can streamline the assignment creation process. The software provides templates and customizable options for different assignment types, allowing instructors to create assignments tailored to their course objectives. Additionally, MagicSchool.ai offers a library of pre-made assignments across various disciplines, saving instructors valuable time and effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rubrics: <\/strong>Grading papers can be a time-consuming task for instructors, but AI software like MagicSchool.ai can simplify the process. The software allows instructors to create rubrics that align with specific assignment criteria. As students submit their work, MagicSchool.ai automatically evaluates their submissions based on the established rubrics, providing consistent and objective feedback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Grading Papers:<\/strong> Gone are the days of manually grading stacks of papers. MagicSchool.ai utilizes Natural Language Processing (NLP) algorithms to analyze and evaluate student papers. Instructors can set parameters for grading, such as grammar, structure, and content, and the software will provide detailed feedback on each aspect. This not only saves time but also ensures a fair and unbiased grading process.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Writing Content:<\/strong> AI software can also assist instructors in generating content for their courses. MagicSchool.ai offers a content generation feature that helps instructors create engaging and informative materials. Whether it&#8217;s lecture notes, lesson plans, or study guides, the software generates content based on the instructor&#8217;s input, ensuring accuracy and relevancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Engaging Students: <\/strong>Keeping students engaged is crucial for effective teaching. MagicSchool.ai incorporates AI-powered interactive elements into courses, such as virtual simulations, quizzes, and interactive presentations. These features promote active learning and allow students to apply their knowledge in a practical manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>AI-Proof Assignments:<\/strong> One unique aspect of MagicSchool.ai is its ability to create AI-proof assignments. Instructors can design assignments that challenge students to think critically and apply their knowledge in a way that is difficult for AI algorithms to replicate. This ensures that students are not solely relying on AI software for their academic success but are actively engaging with the material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To further support college instructors, several free AI software programs are available. One notable program is AutoGradr, which automates the grading process and provides detailed feedback. Another option is Teachable Machine, a user-friendly tool that allows instructors to create custom AI models for various educational purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As AI continues to advance, the role of AI software in education will only grow. By utilizing AI software like MagicSchool.ai, college instructors can enhance their teaching methods, streamline administrative tasks, and create a more engaging and effective learning experience for our students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do not discount the effectiveness of these tools.&nbsp; The majority of this article was written by MagicSchool.ai with only two small paragraphs and a few minor edits being written by me.&nbsp; Within minutes, I was able to create this article to introduce you to the wonderful world of AI available to you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"inherit-container-width wp-block-group teal-background is-content-justification-left is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-cc739763 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:15% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"756\" src=\"https:\/\/ww2.nscc.edu\/thensccvoice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Jenn-Byrd-1024x756.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1588 size-thumbnail\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ww2.nscc.edu\/thensccvoice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Jenn-Byrd-1024x756.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ww2.nscc.edu\/thensccvoice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Jenn-Byrd-300x221.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ww2.nscc.edu\/thensccvoice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Jenn-Byrd-768x567.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ww2.nscc.edu\/thensccvoice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Jenn-Byrd.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Important FAFSA Update<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>by Jennifer Byrd, Director, Financial Aid Office<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"543\" height=\"406\" src=\"https:\/\/ww2.nscc.edu\/thensccvoice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/fafsa-image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3617\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ww2.nscc.edu\/thensccvoice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/fafsa-image.png 543w, https:\/\/ww2.nscc.edu\/thensccvoice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/fafsa-image-300x224.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 543px) 100vw, 543px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) will be delayed for the 2024-2025 aid year. Typically, the FAFSA opens on October 1st each year for the next fall&#8217;s enrollment. This year, the FAFSA will not open until sometime in December 2023, rather than in October. (The US Department of Education has not released a specific date yet).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means that students cannot complete their FAFSA for next fall until the application opens in December. The FAFSA deadline for the TN Promise students for the fall of 2024 has been moved to April 15, 2024 to accommodate this change.

This decision is part of our ongoing efforts to maintain functionality and operability of D2L for our faculty and heavy D2L users including admins, developers, leads, and maintainers.
