Welcome to the TLDR;AIA community.

Let’s explore the future of AI in academia together.

Welcome! I’m Dr. Tracy Mendolia, a Ph.D. in Learning Technologies with a research focus on artificial intelligence in higher education. My work zeroes in on academic integrity and the evolving future of education, exploring how we can integrate AI tools responsibly and innovatively into teaching and learning.

I started this Substack because, frankly, there are just too many bloated newsletters and resources out there. I wanted something quick, simple, and to the point—just the essentials so you can move on with your day. TLDR;AIA delivers brief, concise summaries of resources at the intersection of AI and academia, because let’s face it: we’re all busy, and nobody has time to sift through everything.

Beyond my institutional work, I share insights at national and international conferences, deliver guest lectures, co-author research, and collaborate with thought leaders in AI and education. TLDR;AIA reflects these passions, offering a mix of research-based insights, practical tools, and thought-provoking discussions through articles and podcasts.

When I’m not writing or designing innovative learning tools, you’ll find me leading my local Girl Scout troop, engaging in community initiatives, or spending time with my family.

Join me as we navigate the intersection of AI and academia, charting a course for the exciting future of education—one post, podcast, and conversation at a time.
