Educators are adopting varied approaches to address academic challenges, with some institutions enforcing stricter exam policies—such as prohibiting laptops and phones—to reduce distractions and ensure original work. Others are taking a more tech-integrated route by developing custom chatbots designed to assist students with learning and problem-solving. The shift reflects broader debates over balancing traditional assessment methods with digital innovation in education. Schools and universities appear divided on whether to tighten oversight or embrace new tools to support student success.
Some are banning laptops and phones from exams and grading only work done in class, while others are building their own chatbots to help students learn.
