Beyond the AI Framework: Adoption, Adaptation, and Lessons from MUSC
As colleges and universities continue to develop AI guidance, many are discovering that creating a framework is only the beginning.
During our recent webinar, Beyond the AI Framework: Adoption, Adaptation, and Lessons from MUSC, Alchemy’s Brett Christie, Ph.D. welcomed Julaine Fowlin,Ph.D., E’lise Nissen, and Matthew Greseth, Ph.D. from the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) to reflect on what they’ve learned after a year of implementing their AI Acceptable Use Framework for Academic Tasks.
Rather than focusing on policy development alone, the conversation explored what happens after a framework is introduced and how institutions can support meaningful adoption across teaching, learning, and academic operations.
Key Takeaways
Implementation Requires More Than A Framework
One of the strongest themes throughout the discussion was that AI guidance only becomes valuable when it’s supported by practical implementation. MUSC shared how their work has expanded beyond policy into faculty support, course redesign, assessment redesign, student guidance, and institution-wide resources.
AI Literacy Is Essential
Successful implementation depends on a shared understanding of AI literacy. The speakers emphasized the importance of defining what AI literacy means within an institution and creating intentional opportunities for faculty, staff, and students to build those skills over time.
Assessment Design Continues To Evolve
Rather than simply asking whether AI should be allowed, institutions are increasingly rethinking what they want students to demonstrate and how assessments can better measure authentic learning. The discussion highlighted practical approaches for redesigning assessments while maintaining alignment with institutional AI guidance.
AI Governance Is An Ongoing Process
Perhaps the biggest lesson from the past year is that AI governance is never “finished.” As technology evolves, institutions must continue refining guidance, gathering feedback, supporting educators, and adapting their approaches to meet changing needs.
