Fostering Learning with AI: A New Era in Education
We are conducting a study over the academic years 2024-2026. An awardee must justify why their organization is the best fit to host this U.S. Department of Education-funded project.
The following are the concepts to be explored:
AI-Driven Scaling: Investigate the potential for scaling learning processes or pedagogical methodologies through the expanded use of generative AI and its consequential impact on student achievement.
Derived Student Success: Unravel the intricacies of the learning journey, exploring and testing new-age study strategies, instructional methods, curricula, and more, directly addressing the pivotal needs of educators. The study investigates how well we can correlate pedagogy to consistent success via individual approaches and a labyrinth of collaborative approaches native to the strengths each educator experienced.
Pedagogy AI: Harness the insights from learning sciences to determine optimal techniques through which AI, especially LLMs, can holistically enrich the learning spectrum for every student and each teacher's education process.
