AI-ALOE is hosting its External Advisory Board today at Georgia Tech for an in-person review of recent research and progress.

The morning focused on the institute’s key areas: impact on learning, interactive design, data architecture, and theories of learning and AI.

Karan Taneja in our Design Intelligence Lab has developed a conversational agent that retrieves document-grounded multi-modal responses to text-based queries: https://t.co/FlrfVOhRZm
This simultaneous retrieval of relevant text and images may foster multimedia learning.

[AshokGoel @AshKGoel]

A core issue in the use of GenAI to support learning is whether it promotes critical thinking. The growing consensus is that the use of GenAI reduces the need for critical thinking. In contrast, @PratyushaMaiti in our @dilabgatech found that GenAI can foster critical thinking.

[AI-ALOE @AI_ALOE]

Pratyusha Maiti and Ashok Goel studied the impact of Jill Watson on student questioning behaviors in the classroom. Analyzing learner-generated questions across three semesters and two educational settings, they assessed question complexity.

It is good to meet friends and colleagues in person!

[AI-ALOE @AI_ALOE]

Day 1 of the AI-ALOE retreat is in full swing, bringing together more than 35 attendees. This morning, speakers provided overviews of our technologies, breakout groups collaborated on ideas for a collective publication, and 1EdTech contributed to our architecture discussions.

The DILab Retreat is always fun. It is great to spend a full day talking with young researchers in person.

[Design and Intelligence Lab @dilabgatech]

2025 Design Intelligence Lab Retreat is done!✅ After 3 rounds of presentations and an afternoon of engaging discussions, DILab is ready for another year of academic excellence!🔥

[Design and Intelligence Lab @dilabgatech]

We’re thrilled to share a fascinating podcast from Silver Lining for Learning featuring the NSF AI Institute for Adult Learning and Online Education!
This episode is all about how AI is revolutionizing online adult education with cutting-edge applications like Jill Watson.

[AshokGoel @AshKGoel]

Congratulations @Audreyol and @PratyushaMaiti. Well done!

[Georgia Tech Computing @gtcomputing]

As education evolves in the digital era, artificial intelligence (AI) is poised to revolutionize how students interact with course materials. A pioneering study from experts at @Microsoft, @nvidia, and @GeorgiaTech explores how embedding AI-powered virtual teaching assistants (VTAs) into digital textbooks can enhance learning experiences.

Published in the Proceedings of Machine Learning Research, this work envisions a future where static course materials transform into interactive, adaptive, and student-centric resources, bridging gaps in traditional online education.

From the minds of Audrey Olson, Pratyusha Maiti, and Ashok Goel (@AshKGoel).
