Integrating Artificial intelligence in higher education: Challenges, Opportunities and Future Directions for Enhancing Student Engagement

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a growing force for change in higher education, supporting students, faculty, and administrators in teaching, learning, and administrative roles. In this study, we examine the opportunities and challenges associated with using AI for student engagement in higher education. In addition, this paper will outline recommendations for the future integration of AI in higher education for student engagement. The methodology of this article is qualitative in nature, using a in-dept literature review method of content analysis techniques. The results of this study show that AI has the potential to revolutionize student participation and quality in higher education systems. However, for this to be successfully implemented, it is essential that it is planned and balanced so that it complements human teaching strategies. By addressing current problems and exploring new avenues, AI has the potential to have a significant impact on the inclusion, creativity and student-centeredness of higher education systems in the future.
