Abstract:

This session will share how adult education program teachers and administrators can use AI to reach a greater impact with limited time, staffing, and resources. Participants will learn how to identify the AI use cases most likely to improve learner and program outcomes, reduce rework by giving AI better context from the beginning, determine what information should and should not be provided to an AI system, and measure whether an AI-supported process is producing enough value to continue. Practical examples will include: ● Instruction and educator preparation ● Learner practice using institutionally approved AI tools ● Workforce and career preparation ● Program administration ● Finding and prioritizing funding opportunities ● Program planning and communication. Throughout the session, participants will use a common set of questions to evaluate each potential AI application.

Summit date: October 6, 2026
