Abstract

The previous issue of IT Professional saw a set of five articles published as part of the special issue of Generative AI in Higher Education. This second special issue further examines how generative and agentic artificial intelligence (AI) are reshaping higher education and the need for institutions to rethink assessment, pedagogy, governance, and AI literacy. This introduction provides an overview of five articles that address these challenges through AI-aware assessment, responsible academic innovation, process-centered learning, ethical AI adoption, and the use of AI agents to support student learning.
