NEW REPORT: Artificial intelligence, cognitive offloading and implications for education
Our report investigates a profound new challenge that we face with AI’s power to rapidly access information and provide a semblance of thinking: the risk that students will outsource too much of the cognitive work that is crucial to establishing the knowledge, skill and ‘thinking infrastructure’ that enables both schooling success and lifelong capacity for ongoing learning and understanding.
All Australian children and young people deserve to benefit from education technology (edtech) that puts their needs, learning and wellbeing first, and which recognises and amplifies the expertise of their teachers.
The Australian Network for Quality Digital Education’s purpose is to harness edtech’s potential to improve learning outcomes, bending this benefit towards the students who need it most.
