Pushing the Depths of Learning with AI and Beyond

Reflection AI: Turning Student Insight Into Action

Challenge: How can we prompt students to engage more deeply with their learning and reflections?

Reflection AI brings a new level of depth to student reflections by providing professors with a data-rich layer of analysis. The AI pinpoints key themes and trends across journal entries, giving instructors a clearer understanding of their students' progress and challenges. Rather than leaving interpretation to chance, professors stay in control, using the AI's insights to offer more personalized, meaningful feedback that drives both academic and personal growth. This tool transforms the way reflections are understood, ensuring no insight is overlooked, and every student gets the support they need.

We are currently building a prototype for this and will have more to show soon.

Discourse Coordinator: Guiding Class Discussions with AI-Powered Insight

The Discourse Coordinator tool encourages deeper student reflections by allowing individual comments to remain private until revealed for group discussion. By using AI to group students based on diverse opinions or similar insights, it fosters richer conversations and critical thinking. Whether through dynamic breakout groups or guided class debates, this tool ensures that students engage with differing perspectives, promoting a more thoughtful, inclusive learning environment.

"Think Twice": Enhancing Learning with Reflective AI

This tool combines AI with metacognitive reflection to improve students' critical thinking. As students highlight and analyze texts, the AI prompts them to reflect on missed or related sections, encouraging deeper learning. By allowing both individual and group reflections, the tool fosters richer class discussions, helping students compare their thinking processes and learn from diverse perspectives in real time.

Busting Learning Myths Using Technology and Self-Reflection

Remember the old "learning styles" theory? Our experiment seeks to break those myths using interactive, multi-modal content to show students how diverse learning experiences work in tandem. Drawing from research on the damage caused by student pigeonholing themselves by learning styles, we crafted an interactive tool that allows students to experience content through multiple media types and reflect on which format works best in different contexts. The tool is a reminder that no single learning style suits all situations—it's about adapting dynamically to the content itself.

Peer-to-Peer Wisdom: Empowering Students Through Reflection

When students face challenges, they often look to instructors for guidance. But what if the best advice comes from within? This experiment taps into the advice-giving effect, where offering advice to others helps you reflect on your own struggles. By prompting students to anonymously advise a peer (who is actually themselves), they gain a fresh perspective on their challenges. This process not only boosts confidence but also strengthens problem-solving skills, fostering both personal growth and a deeper sense of self-reliance.
