AI Exchange is a blog modeled on an open access journal aiming to support discussion at UNL about the use of AI in teaching and education. It will contain articles, essays, tutorials, along with any feedback, e.g., “letters to the editors” in response to any of the postings.

We hope that readers and writers will find and share ways to use AI for the benefit of their students and themselves.
