AI in Education
Artificial intelligence is transforming education by creating new opportunities to personalize learning, strengthen teaching, improve organizational effectiveness, and prepare learners for an AI-enabled future. The Learning Systems Institute (LSI) partners with schools, universities, governments, and industry to research, develop, implement, and evaluate AI solutions that improve educational outcomes while promoting responsible and human-centered use of artificial intelligence.
AI Workforce Development
Preparing educators and learners for an AI-driven world requires more than learning how to use AI tools. LSI develops AI literacy programs, competency frameworks, professional learning, and workforce development initiatives that equip educators, students, and educational leaders with the knowledge and skills needed to use AI effectively, responsibly, and ethically.
AI-Powered Learning Tools
LSI develops AI-powered technologies that help educators personalize learning, improve student outcomes, and reduce time spent on routine instructional tasks. Our unique approach combines generative AI with expert-developed, standards-aligned Open Educational Resources (OERs), enabling teachers to customize trusted instructional materials instead of creating new content from scratch.
One example is CPALMS’s AI-powered Open Educational Resource Customization Tool, which enables teachers to adapt vetted instructional resources to meet the diverse needs of their students while maintaining alignment with academic standards. Teachers can adjust reading complexity, differentiate instruction, and generate classroom activities and assessments, allowing them to personalize learning without creating instructional materials from scratch. By combining the efficiency of generative AI with the quality and reliability of evidence-based instructional resources, this approach supports personalized learning at scale.
AI for Teaching and Learning
LSI helps educators integrate AI into classroom practice to enhance instruction, improve productivity, and increase student engagement. Our professional learning programs focus on AI literacy, prompt engineering, instructional design, assessment, and responsible AI use, helping educators confidently incorporate AI into teaching and learning.
Through initiatives such as FSU InSPIRE, LSI is preparing more than 1,000 K–12 teachers across Florida’s Panhandle to effectively integrate AI into their classrooms. LSI has also partnered with Microsoft to co-develop an AI Educator training and certification program that equips teachers with practical skills for responsible classroom implementation.
Responsible AI and Institutional Readiness
Successful AI adoption requires thoughtful planning, strong governance, and a commitment to ethical practice. LSI helps educational organizations develop AI strategies, implementation roadmaps, institutional policies, and governance frameworks that address privacy, security, bias, transparency, accessibility, academic integrity, and responsible AI use. We help institutions build the capacity to adopt AI in ways that are effective, equitable, and sustainable.
Research and Innovation
As a research institute, LSI evaluates the design, implementation, and impact of AI-enabled educational innovations. Our work examines how AI influences teaching, learning, educator effectiveness, and organizational performance, generating evidence that informs educational practice, policy, and future innovation.
Why LSI?
What distinguishes LSI is our ability to combine educational research, AI software development, instructional design, open educational resources, professional learning, and large-scale implementation into integrated solutions. From developing AI-powered technologies to preparing educators and institutions for responsible AI adoption, LSI helps partners move beyond experimentation to meaningful, evidence-based impact.
