I'm Snape.
I think about one question:
How should people — and organizations — learn when AI knows everything?
Here you'll find:
→ AI EdTech insights
→ Learning design frameworks
→ AI learning strategy for schools & companies
→ Lessons on building edtech
Follow along.
Out today: University of Minnesota learning scientists surveyed experts on AI and learning.
Their consensus: in some contexts, AI can cause "severe and one-sided" disruption to learning.
"Casual, careless use of general-purpose GenAI can threaten the very learning processes necessary for committing new ideas to memory."
Their fix is about sequence, not bans:
1. Students do the thinking alone first
2. Then use AI to stress-test it
AI after effort. Never instead of it.
A PNAS study gave ~1,000 high school students GPT-4 for math practice.
Practice scores: +48%.
Then AI was removed for the exam: −17% vs. students who never had it.
A second group used a GPT-4 "tutor" that gave hints, not answers. No exam drop.
Same model. Different design. Opposite outcome.
That's the whole edtech game in one study.
