Hi Danica,
With the rapid advancements of AI technology in college settings, the way students learn—especially in large classroom environments—is transforming significantly. AI-driven tools like smart lecture capture systems, automated grading, and virtual teaching assistants make it easier for professors to manage large classes while providing personalized feedback. In lecture halls, AI-powered applications enable real-time polling, interactive quizzes, and instant analysis of student responses, fostering active participation even in massive groups. Additionally, AI-driven study platforms can create customized learning paths, helping students grasp complex subjects at their own pace. However, AI also presents challenges, such as potential over-reliance on technology and reduced face-to-face interactions. To make the most of AI in college, it’s essential to balance using these tools for learning enhancement while still actively participating in discussions and hands-on experiences. Embracing AI thoughtfully can lead to a more engaging and efficient educational experience, especially in large classes where individualized attention is often limited.

Technology will help students learn better. It's really important to start using technology with young students, beginning in elementary school. This way, students can get used to using technology to support their learning. In big classrooms, tools like AR/VR can be used to create a more engaging experience, making it feel like a smaller, more personal class.
