Description

This poster presentation explores the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to enhance teaching, learning, and communication in higher education, with a special focus on supporting international students. Demonstrating how AI can serve as a supportive tool to foster inclusion, improve communication, and enhance learning experiences for diverse student populations. Drawing on my experience as a Graduate Teaching Assistant in the Department of Teaching and Leadership at Pittsburg State University, this project examines how AI-supported strategies can help bridge language barriers, clarify academic expectations, and improve student engagement. Many international students arrive at PSU with strong academic backgrounds but must adapt to a new educational system, teaching styles, and communication norms. AI tools can support this transition by helping instructors simplify complex content, generate visual explanations, and provide multilingual support while maintaining academic rigor. Additionally, as a graduate student in Graphic Design and Graphic Management, I am interested in how AI assisted visual communication and instructional design can improve comprehension and accessibility. This project highlights practical applications such as AI generated visual aids, structured content summaries, and adaptive learning supports that enhance clarity without replacing the instructor’s role. The poster presents examples, potential benefits, ethical considerations, and best practices for integrating AI responsibly in higher education.
