Inside The Delaware Federated Learning Pilot
Live May 28: Use Case Lab with the Team Building PATHS Engine, UD Study AiDE, ACCREDIT!, and the AI Infrastructure Most Institutions Are Still Drafting Policy About
Most higher ed leaders are still asking, “Where do we even start with AI?”
A handful of institutions are already three years in.
The University of Delaware is one of them.
So on Thursday, May 28 at 12pm ET, I’m bringing two of the people quietly building it into the Higher Ed AI Playbook Use Case Lab — live on Substack.
What You’ll Hear Inside the Room
Why I Want My Paid Subscribers in This Room
This is not a conference panel. Not a vendor pitch. A working lab where institutions show their actual work — and you bring your actual problem.
Paid Higher Ed AI Playbook subscribers get the live conversation, the recording, and the working notes. That alone is the upgrade math.
Another deeper reason to go paid right now: the policy starter documents.
Every paid subscriber gets the growing archive of governance templates Higher Ed AI Playbook publishes alongside each issue — procurement-gate language, AI tool review-body charters, faculty-student disclosure frameworks, FERPA-aligned data-tier definitions, AI evaluation criteria, and the AI-Ready Institution Scorecard™ scoring rubrics.
These are not consulting deliverables I sell separately. They are the starter drafts your governance committee can pick up, redline, and run with on Monday.
If you’re sitting down to write or defend an AI governance framework this month, this is the toolkit I’d want in front of me.
And If You Want to Go Deeper — Block June 9–11
UD is hosting AiM Higher 2026, the East Coast AI Conference, two weeks after our live.
It is not a watch-the-slides conference. It is a problem-based learning event built around UD’s Five Scenario Framework:
You pick the scenario that maps to your institution’s biggest gap. You work in teams with peers facing the same problem. You leave with a proof of concept built in the AI Makerspace, ready to pilot back on campus.
Nova and Lauren are at the center of it. The May 28 lab is your preview.
The Five Scenario Framework: sites.udel.edu/aim-higher/the-five-scenario-framework-2026
Why It’s Worth Being in the Room May 28 — Not Catching the Replay
The questions you ask Nova and Lauren shape the hour.
Nearly 4,000 higher ed leaders are already subscribed to the Higher Ed AI Playbook — the most aligned cohort I know of for this work. The live Q&A is where the real value compounds.
Subscribe. Show up. Bring the AI problem keeping you up at night this week.
