According to the report, academic integrity is the top concern for both students (41%) and educators (42%), and clear communication around expectations is one of the most effective ways to build trust and confidence in AI use. <br><br>Additionally, educators can further differentiate their approach by creating, reusing, or adjusting student groups based on reading level, language support, and other criteria, assigning the right resources to each group within an Assignment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/learningzone.microsoft.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Microsoft Learning Zone<\/a> will offer the ability to use lessons in an educator-paced, live classroom session to help provide control over progression and view aggregated student activity in near real-time.
