About Learning Center AI

Learning Center AI shares practical, tested ways to use AI in college academic support. Posts cover four areas: coaching and pedagogy, leadership and operations, data and dashboards, and tutor training.

Everything here is written by people who work in learning centers. The goal is to show what AI actually looks like on the floor and in the front office, without the hype, so you can decide what fits your center.

It's free, and there's nothing to sell. If you have an idea, a resource, or a story from your own center, we'd love to hear it.

Learning Center AI is independent. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by the University of Louisville or the International College Learning Center Association (ICLCA). Authors write for themselves, and their views don't represent their employers or any professional association.

Learning Center AI is about using AI well, so we try to be open about how we use it ourselves.

Every article ends with an AI use statement that names the tools the author used, says what each one did, and gives an APA reference for each. Authors write their own, so the details vary from piece to piece.

For Mark's articles, sources mostly come from his own reading, plus articles flagged by an AI agent he built in Muse. He saves the ones worth keeping with a note on why they matter for learning centers, then uses Claude to review those notes, choose topics, and outline and draft. The staff prompts are tested in several AI tools before they go up.

The site's own tools, like its content manager and newsletter, were also built with help from Claude.

A person always makes the final call. Every draft is revised and fact-checked against its sources before it's published. If you spot an error, email us at [email protected] and we'll fix it.
