• How Artificial Intelligence Can Help With Critical Thinking - Monideepa Tarafdar, Greater Good Berkley.edu
  Ironically, perhaps, recent research shows that people who interact with generative AI for work tasks can end up not thinking critically. They can surrender to AI’s quick and confident answers, which can lead to speedy but low-quality solutions. Scholars refer to this increasingly prevalent problem as cognitive offloading. And they are showing that it can […]

• What Does the Credential Still Certify? Cognitive Stewardship for AI-Mediated Education - Kai Yao, AIES 2026
  Generative  AI  is  changing  a  basic  premise  of  educationalassessment:  that  submitted  work  can  reliably  evidence  thehuman  capacities  a  credential  claims  to  certify.  The  chal-lenge  is  not  simply  whether  students  use  AI,  but  what  re-mains  inferable  about  learning  when  some  cognitive  workhas been delegated to a system. This paper developscogni-tive  stewardship,  a  framework  for  AI-mediated  assessmentthat […]
• Strategies for making online courses more impactful - Heather Gass, Times Higher Education
  In an asynchronous environment, it is easy to hide behind the screen, quietly grade papers and manage the course. Our challenge is to break that barrier and show our students that we are here to support and guide them.  Setting up an online presence:Developing your online presence at the beginning of the course is crucial.

• Towards Trustworthy Intelligent Tutoring Systems for Nursing Education:Integrating Nurse-Informed Design with a Frugal Neuro-Symbolic Architecture - Nevena K. Dicheva, AAAI/ACM Conference on AI
  The design,development,and evaluation of EduNurse,   a   domain-specific   ITS   prototype   for nursing  education.Guided  by  the  CARE-ITS  frame-work,   this   research   presents   a   scenario-based   ITS prototype  (EduNurse)  that  translates  empirically  de-rived  learner  needs,  pedagogical  considerations,  and framework-guided  design  principles  into  a  functional educational system. EduNurse does not introduce a new AI  technique.  Its  contribution  is  how  it  brings  […]
• The Uneven Payoff of Returning to College - Joshua Bay, Inside Higher Ed
  A new report from California Competes, part of its ongoing Degrees of Value research series, examines the return on investment of a college degree among adults who previously stopped out and later graduated.

• What’s the value of a university education? - Mariianne Mays Wiebe, University of Manitoba Today
  What is the role of the university in the face of the major societal shift represented by artificial intelligence? Universities should continue to “embrace our role as institutions where students learn how to think, not what to think,” says Hiebert-Murphy. A university education, she suggests, “offers a learning environment in which students develop the skills […]
• AI Is Changing Jobs, Not Eliminating Them - Peter Cappelli, Knowledge at Wharton
  Agentic AI changes three fundamental constraints that have shaped the modern organization: human capacity, expertise, and coordination. For more than a century, the familiar building blocks of organizational design, from tasks and jobs to teams, management layers, and hierarchies, have reflected those constraints. AI doesn’t remove them entirely, but it alters them enough that leaders […]
• Are communication skills still important in the age of AI? Research says yes - RM Barton, Purdue
  In an artificial intelligence (AI)-mediated world, many professionals are seeking skills that will help them weather technological shifts and find career stability. Emerging research suggests that the skills the future job market will demand most are skills that technology cannot replace or replicate: people skills. According to the McKinsey Global Institute, the importance of people […]
