5 Common Mistakes When Using Large Language Models in the Classroom
A practical guide to avoiding poorly governed LLM use, protecting academic integrity, and aligning the technology with learning outcomes.

Educational institutions face friction that goes beyond purchasing software or adopting new tools. Real value begins when technology aligns with pedagogical goals, guided by clear governance and measurable impact.
Institutions may deploy multiple digital tools, but without alignment to learning outcomes and instructional methods, technology remains detached from core education.
Digital initiatives often expand without a unified governance framework or KPIs that measure actual educational and operational ROI.
Leveraging AI requires more than adopting tools; it demands pedagogical controls, data governance, privacy, fairness, and clear human oversight.
Content may be available, but lack of learning experience design and support leads to low engagement and high drop-out rates.
