AI Research Briefs
My AI Research Briefs bring studies together around a focused educational question and translate the discussion into frameworks, reflection prompts, and resources you can use in your work.
Begin with the brief on AI and cognitive offloading: when assistance supports learning and when it takes over the thinking learners need to practise.
What you can learn from these briefs
Use these questions to find a starting point. Each theme connects an idea with a practical question for your work.
Performance and learning
What can students still do when AI is removed?
Explore why a stronger assisted product may not show independent understanding. Consider retrieval, explanation, and transfer when reviewing student learning.
THINK–USE–CHECK–RETURN
How can AI assistance become part of a learning sequence?
Start with students’ own thinking, define the assistance, evaluate the output, and return to independent application. Explore the brief’s classroom and professional-learning activities.
