Real-world observations and teaching insights
You've seen the negative headlines about the impact of AI -- the risk of cheating, loss of critical thinking skills, and over-dependence on technology. But what does the research say about how students want AI tools to support their learning? And what are the "right" questions science educators need to ask about AI and the learning experience? Join Amanda Pardy, Chief Product Officer of Labster, for a conversation with Dr. Julie Evans of Project Tomorrow (founder of the annual Speak Up Survey) and T. Sheldon of Labster's student experience research team. We will explore together how to harness technologies like AI and immersive learning platforms to create more personalized learning experiences that address students' needs for agency and self-determination. We will lean on your participation to ground our research-based conversation with insights from your teaching experience and real-world observations.
