Introduction to AI-enhanced Learning

Introduction to AI-enhanced learning Oxford University teaches its students how to use AI to learn more effectively and efficiently. AI has the potential to transform and accelerate your learning, and it can become a talented tutor for you. Research has found that AI enhances academic performance and study efficiency.

The Problem with Using AI

The problem with using AI However, there is a high chance that you're not using AI properly. If you're using AI to do all the work for you, then you're not learning anything. AI is good at doing things we ask it to do, but the more we ask it to do for us, the less we end up doing for ourselves.

How We Learn

How we learn To use AI effectively, we need to think about how we actually learn. Study after study has shown that retrieval practice is the most effective form of learning. You can't make yourself remember by trying to remember; you remember by interacting with the information that you want to learn.

Using AI to Enhance Learning

Using AI to enhance learning To use AI effectively, you need to prompt it to test you and guide you. You can use Socratic questioning, where you ask AI to ask you questions to guide your understanding. For example, you can ask AI to explain a concept in different ways, such as explaining it to a child, a high schooler, and an academic.

Creating Practice Questions

Creating practice questions You can also ask AI to create practice questions for you to answer at different levels. This will help you to grasp the concept and understand it more deeply. Additionally, you can ask AI to list the key concepts needed in order to understand a paper or article that you're reading.

Reading with AI

Reading with AI Another benefit of learning with AI is that there's no embarrassment. You can ask AI to explain a concept again and again without feeling embarrassed. AI can also help you with reading by summarizing a paper or article and pulling out the key concepts.

Creating a Set of Challenges

Creating a set of challenges You can also ask AI to create a set of challenges to enable you to apply, analyze, evaluate, and create new ideas. This will help you to develop a deeper understanding of the concept and to become more proficient in using AI as a learning tool.

Using AI to Transform Your Ability to Learn

Using AI to transform your ability to learn By using AI in this way, you can transform your ability to learn and become a more effective learner. AI can help you to identify the areas where you need more practice, to create a set of challenges to help you apply, analyze, evaluate, and create new ideas. With AI, you can have your own personal tutor who is always available to help you.
