Higher education is entering a new phase of artificial intelligence (AI) adoption—one focused on intentional design, collaboration, and measurable impact—according to Purdue University’s Andre Beasley.

Appearing on UNLV’s The Real BS About AI podcast, the senior manager of instructional design and course production, described how Purdue is taking a proactive and structured approach to AI, positioning the university to innovate at scale while maintaining high academic standards.

Students at UNLV can now step inside their lessons instead of just reading about them.

That’s the goal of the new Immersive Learning Lab in Frank and Estella Beam Hall (BEH) and the student-built Virtual Rebel Experience, both featured on The Real BS About AI podcast.

Starting April 24, 2026, UNLV websites, mobile apps, and digital documents must be accessible when they’re published to comply with a new digital accessibility rule under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Title II. The Real BS About AI podcast breaks down what this federal requirement means and how artificial intelligence (AI) can help faculty and content creators meet the standard.

Improved network connectivity is now reaching everyone across the UNLV campus as the majority of the network infrastructure upgrade to Juniper’s platform, driven by artificial intelligence (AI), is now complete. While this cutting-edge technology seamlessly blends into campus buildings and classrooms, the scale of the project is far from small. Check out some noteworthy numbers and how they compare to famous local landmarks. 

Get practical advice on building a healthy working relationship with artificial intelligence (AI) tools. In a new episode of The Real BS About AI podcast, hosts Alethea Inns and Bob Soulliere explain that AI works best when users set boundaries, give clear instructions, and understand its limitations.

“AI is a powerful tool, but it’s still just a tool,” Soulliere said about ChatGPT, Claude, Google Gemini, and other platforms. “How well it works depends a lot on what you put into it.”

The Real BS About AI podcast takes listeners through a year-in-review of the most significant shifts in artificial intelligence (AI) in 2025 and what they mean for UNLV.

A UNLV student demonstrated that artificial intelligence (AI) detectors were unable to distinguish fact from fiction in various writing samples as part of a class project.

During a recent episode of The Real BS About AI podcast, cohost Bob Soulliere shared how an undergraduate student tested three documents in GPTZero and several other AI detectors as part of a research project. AI fully generated the content for one document, another blended AI-generated and human writing, and the last one was written entirely by the student.

The spring semester is blooming with new technology upgrades. From a stronger, uninterrupted network connection all across campus to an upcoming virtual reality (VR) lab with immersive learning technology, UNLV’s Information Technology (IT) team is bringing revamped technology for every Rebel this semester.

The Real BS About AI podcast returns with an episode examining how artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the workforce, with a focus on its impact on women and roles that involve routine tasks.

In a cheerful season-of-thanks episode, The Real BS About AI turns a new page as hosts Alethea Inns and Bob Soulliere spotlight Google’s Notebook LM, calling it one of the easiest ways to stay organized in the fast-moving world of artificial intelligence (AI).
