Thank you to everyone who joined us for the 2026 AI Institute for Teaching and Learning!

Over three days, faculty, staff, and educators came together to explore human-centered approaches to AI in education — from ethics and authentic assessment to discipline-specific applications and the future of work in an AI-enabled world.

Hosted by the School for the Digital Future in partnership with the College of Business and Economics, Extended Studies, and the Center for Teaching & Learning, the institute created space for thoughtful conversations, hands-on learning, and meaningful collaboration.

A special thank you to our presenters, panelists, facilitators, and AI Institute Team Leads for making the experience possible — and to every participant who shared ideas, questions, and insights throughout the week.

We’re excited to continue building the future of teaching and learning together.

How do student-athletes thrive while pursuing online degrees? 🏃‍♀️💻

For many Broncos, flexibility is the key to success—on the field and beyond.

Programs in Boise State’s School for the Digital Future empower student-athletes to balance training, travel, and coursework while building skills for life after sports.

“IDS just gives you such peace of mind because you feel like you’re equipped to go into any one of your interests,” said Morgan Padour, a former soccer player who customized her degree with business, communications, and leadership courses.

Football player Lopez Sanusi agrees: “Employers like knowing that you’re someone with a whole bunch of different skills instead of just one thing. That’s the biggest reason why I chose IDS.”
