By tracking how a student responds to failure within the AI tutor, we can generate a productive struggle score

By analyzing the digital trace data from student interactions in shared documents and team chats

But we no longer live in an age of information scarcity. The lecture is a solution to a problem we no longer have. The challenge for colleges and universities in the twenty-first century is to deliver artisanal-quality learning at an industrial scale. For decades, this has been an impossible dream. Until now.

In the liberal arts, we often critique capitalism’s exploitative systems, yet we reproduce the same patterns in our own knowledge economy. We externalize the costs of learning and call it normal.

And here’s the truly jarring part: many of those same publishers are now selling our work again. This time to AI companies without our consent or compensation. I’ve come to label it as academic fracking: extracting value from our intellectual commons, layer after layer, until nothing of public good remains.

The “fetish” for particular kinds of writing—certain tones, certain sentence structures—reasserted itself, this time through algorithms and bias detection tools.

the professor released a custom GenAI prompt designed to interact with learners and tutor them on topics from the quiz.

This time-saving effort allows the instructor to focus time and effort on interacting with learners.

However, it is oriented toward the instructor, as the GenAI must consult the instructor for additional materials.

Instructor Proxy. In this mode, the GenAI's response is advocating on behalf of the instructor while interacting with learners.

intent and the orientation of the user affects interaction

GenAI is introducing novel ways for learners to interact not only with their peers and instructors but also with autonomous entities

The AI generates a draft of the learning design

It could improve significantly if it were trained on annotated data.

The end goal is to develop standards for integrating the ongoing ITS research (and other data-backed research streams) into continuous improvement of AI tutors.

How are those behaviors grounded in specific research findings about cognitive load?

Let’s start with the authors not providing outcomes data anywhere in the 50-page paper

The paper proposes evaluation rubrics for five dimensions of generative AI tutors:

But ChatGPT and similar programs are, by design, unlimited in what they can “learn” (which is to say, memorize); they are incapable of distinguishing the possible from the impossible.

On the contrary, the human mind is a surprisingly efficient and even elegant system that operates with small amounts of information; it seeks not to infer brute correlations among data points but to create explanations.
