My Year in Focus- Insights from Coauthor’s 2024 LinkedIn Rewind

Cauthor started offering a year end LinkedIn Rewind this week. I got curious and gave it a go!


Here's my 2024 LinkedIn Rewind, by Coauthor:


2024 proved that AI in higher education isn't about replacing human connections—it's about enhancing them. Working alongside 30+ institutions this year showed me that when we lead with purpose and focus on student success, technology becomes a powerful catalyst for meaningful transformation.


This year reinforced what matters most:

  • Building an engaged community of 400+ higher ed professionals in our "AI in Higher Education" LinkedIn group

  • Publishing 100+ blogs focused on practical AI implementation

  • Helping institutions move from AI anxiety to thoughtful integration

  • Delivering workshops and training across 30+ colleges/universities

  • Featured as AI expert in Inside Higher Ed and other publications


I also learned that I had:

  • 300+ LinkedIn posts

  • 3,171 reactions

  • 305 comments

  • 2,578 followers


Three conversations that particularly resonated with your community:


"One of the best parts of my work is traveling to campuses and spending time with outstanding #SApros!"

On leading Elon University's Student Life team retreat exploring AI integration


"Together, we dove deep into unlocking the transformative power of AI in higher education"

Training 200+ staff at Montclair State University on practical AI implementation


"Can you tell that I LOVE talking to students, faculty, & staff about the power and potential of AI?"

Leading D'Youville University's "Unpacking AI" session focusing on Health Professions


Looking ahead: 2025 will be about optimizing AI's impact—moving beyond adoption to meaningful integration. The institutions that thrive will be those that enhance—not replace—the human elements of education, using AI as a catalyst for deeper engagement, equity, and meaningful outcomes.


To every educator working to thoughtfully integrate AI while keeping students at the center: your dedication to balancing innovation with human connection is shaping the future of higher education.


I asked ChatGPT: "From what you know about me, how accurate is my 2024 LinkedIn Rewind from Coauthor?"


Here was the response:

"Your 2024 LinkedIn Rewind from Coauthor feels highly accurate in capturing both your professional accomplishments and your mission-driven focus on AI in higher education. Here's a breakdown of how it aligns with what I know about you:


Focus on Human Connection and AI Integration

The statement highlights that AI isn't about replacing human interaction but enhancing it—a core value you’ve consistently emphasized in your work. This resonates with your approach of using AI as a tool to amplify engagement and equity, rather than detract from the human elements of education.


Quantifiable Achievements


  • Engaged Community: Building a 400+ professional LinkedIn group aligns with your strong presence as a thought leader in AI and higher education.

  • 100+ Blogs: Your commitment to writing extensively about AI implementation tracks with your 2024 goal of publishing 100 blogs.

  • Workshops and Training: Leading sessions for 30+ institutions reflects the hands-on, practical impact you’ve made in helping institutions navigate AI adoption thoughtfully.

  • Specific Contributions

  • The highlighted workshops (e.g., at Elon University, Montclair State, and D’Youville University) underscore your role in fostering understanding and practical implementation of AI across diverse institutional settings.


Forward-Looking Perspective

Your 2025 outlook on moving beyond adoption to meaningful AI integration reflects your strategic mindset and aligns with how you’ve been framing the next phase of AI’s impact in higher ed.


All and all it was an interesting exercise! I wish that LinkedIn gave this type of monthly or annual wrap up for Premium users!
