In her most recent newsletter, “From Crutch to Coach?” Dr. Philippa Hardman, a scholar at the University of Cambridge, asks, does generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) “actually make us more capable, or just faster at outsourcing our thinking?<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we race to keep pace with AI-driven change, it can be hard to keep up with the latest developments in Learning Science, critical thinking, and AI. Hardman’s Learning Science Newsletter<\/a><\/strong> offers an incredibly thorough, up-to-date digest of research, tools, and strategies for using GenAI to improve learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are looking for one go-to source to stay informed on using AI to implement lessons from learning science, Hardman’s newsletter will serve you well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hardman’s free weekly newsletter offers an in-depth look at the links between learning science and instructional design. While some weeks’ posts are more useful for professional instructional designers, others offer a refreshing, research-informed take on productive and innovative uses of GenAI to foster critical thinking and promote metacognition.<\/p>\n<\/div>
