AI in Higher Education · Practical, not hype
Most colleges are policing AI. We help you teach it.
Detection-first policy is failing on the evidence — it falsely accuses real students and punishes non-native English writers most. The way forward isn't a better detector. It's teaching with AI, deliberately, without surveillance.
Self-paced courses, campus workshops, and a free tools guide for faculty and academic leaders — built by someone who spent 21 years inside higher ed, not a technologist who's never graded a paper at 2 a.m. Teach with AI confidently and responsibly, without sacrificing pedagogy or academic integrity.
The detection trap, in four numbers
The case for teaching with AI isn't ideological — it's evidentiary. Detectors don't work, and the market already knows it needs a different answer.
AI courses — available now
Self-paced, portfolio-driven, and accessible by default — every lesson can be read aloud in six voices and answered out loud. Start free, then go deeper.

- 6 modules, ~3 hours
- Built-in AI sandbox to stress-test assignments
- Redesign co-pilot + rubric stress-tester
- Worked gallery by assignment type
AI for Higher Ed Administrators
For deans, chairs, and academic leaders setting AI direction. Move from reactive policing to a defensible institutional strategy — policy, equity, faculty support, and the questions to ask before you buy.
- Leadership-level, not technical
- Policy and equity front and center
- Pairs with the faculty course for whole-campus rollout
- Certificate of completion
AI Tools for Faculty — the living list
A quarterly-updated guide to the categories of faculty AI tools — plus a portable 5-question framework for evaluating any of them.
Tools change every quarter; the way you judge them shouldn't. This is the practical companion to the courses: what's worth your attention right now, organized by what you're actually trying to do — drafting, formative feedback, tutoring, accessibility, research — and how to vet the next new thing on your own.
Bring an AI-in-teaching workshop to your campus
A live session that gives your faculty a calm, evidence-based starting point — and something they can use Monday morning.
Centers for Teaching & Learning plan fall programming in June and July. A workshop is the fastest way to move a department from anxiety to action: the detector evidence, the Two-Lane Model, and a hands-on assignment redesign your faculty leave with. The session is the on-ramp; the courses and tools are the take-home.
- Delivered at Nashua Community College
- Booked with Quinsigamond CC Institutional Research (July 2026)
- Tailored to your faculty, disciplines, and policies
- Leaves behind a workbook, slides, and an offer sheet
Coming August 2026

- Title II compliance planning & audits
- Accessible-by-default course delivery
- One vendor, one contract, one voice
Let's talk AI at your institution.
Workshops, institutional course licenses, or a whole-campus rollout that pairs faculty and administrator training — tell me what you're planning and we'll set up a 30-minute call.
The Learning Curve
A short note every other Thursday for people who teach in higher ed: one teaching move you can use this week, one AI story translated for the classroom, and now and then a tool worth a look. No hype.
