Florida AI Learning Consortium

About

The Florida AI Learning Consortium (FALCON) was founded in 2024 to connect higher-education faculty and staff interested in the intersection of artificial intelligence and higher education. It has no membership fees and anyone can join.

Mission

FALCON is dedicated to advancing the understanding and application of generative AI in higher education. Our mission is to foster ethical, responsible, and innovative use of AI through interdisciplinary collaboration, faculty development, and the exploration of AI’s role across various academic disciplines. We aim to serve as a nexus for thought leadership, resource sharing, and policy development, ensuring academic integrity and enhancing the educational experience in the age of AI. Our commitment extends to preparing educators and institutions to adapt to and positively influence the evolving landscape of AI in education.

Who we are.

Our consortium is led by a steering committee and structured around Special Interest Groups (SIGs), which focus on several critical areas. These SIGs provide a platform for members to engage with specific AI-related topics and contribute to the advancement of our collective knowledge and practices.
