Florida A.I. Learning Consortium

Mission

FALCON convenes higher education professionals across Florida to monitor emerging developments in AI, share practical knowledge, and support thoughtful action in teaching, learning, research, and institutional practice.

About

The Florida AI Learning Consortium (FALCON) is a statewide community dedicated to advancing thoughtful, practical engagement with artificial intelligence in higher education. Founded in 2024, FALCON connects faculty, staff, and administrators across Florida who are exploring how AI is shaping teaching, learning, research, and institutional practice.
 
FALCON provides a collaborative space for higher education professionals to stay informed about emerging developments, share practical knowledge, and support informed, ethical decision-making in a rapidly evolving landscape.

Our approach.

FALCON began with Special Interest Groups (SIGs) focused on key areas of AI in higher education. These groups gave members a way to collaborate on Florida-specific questions, share institutional perspectives, and develop resources for the broader community.

Today, FALCON’s work is centered on regular membership meetings that focus on timely AI topics, practical examples, and peer exchange. These sessions are designed to be interactive, with opportunities for discussion, questions, and breakout conversations. Our goal is to stay responsive as AI continues to evolve.

Who we are.

FALCON is guided by a volunteer steering committee representing colleges and universities across Florida.
