On this episode of MarketScale’s EdTech podcast, host JW Marshall was joined by Crux Solutions President Gale Moericke at TCEA 2020.

Crux Solutions focuses on providing clients with seamless technology systems designed to improve every aspect of their work and collaboration.

In the education industry, this translates to provider and equipment-agnostic design services for the technology that helps drive school buildings and consultancy for school districts that helps them find an ideal solution for their unique needs.

Marshall and Moericke also touched on the common shortcomings that often pop up when districts are planning large-scale installations, particularly in the realm of safety and security.

“What we’ve seen is way too much of, ‘Oh, we’re going to go buy this technology because the guys down the road bought it, and it seems like a good idea.’ Most people have picked something – ‘Video cameras, I guess we should have video cameras,’” Moericke said. “Well, of course you should … (but) how does that fit into a larger plan?”

This big-picture approach helps Crux find total solutions that fit the desired scope, budget and functionality of specific districts and schools.

AI detectors are turning into audit tools, not enforcement, in higher ed

AI detectors are turning into audit tools, not enforcement, in higher ed

AI detection tools can be used to review student writing, but their results are not definitive. In 2026, colleges are putting more emphasis on AI literacy, assessment redesign and clear guidance for acceptable AI use than on detection alone.

  • 0186% student AI use (Digital Education Council survey, cited by Community College Daily) makes “ban and catch” workflows expensive at scale. Training, course design, and tool governance become the controllable levers.
  • 02OECD’s 2026 Outlook warns that better-looking work with GenAI can disappear or reverse on exams without it, a signal that assessment design is now a learning-outcomes control, not a pedagogy preference.
