How students learn with and without AI - fascinating insights from an experiment asking computer science students to code in Fortran (a language none of them knew): those using AI were faster completing a challenge but did not memorise any of the solutions, hence did not learn in the same way than those having to key together answers by themselves

Important implications for #teaching and #learning in higher education

@kerstinsailer Similar to when phones started remembering phone numbers for us, I guess.

I feel using AI is outsourcing learning to the machine. What's my incentive to do the hard thing when the machine can do it for me...?

@eLearningTechie

Exactly that. Or when GPS replaced our sense of orientation.

A friend of mine (secondary school teacher in Germany) told me that students in her school have basically given up on learning languages, because why bother if Google Translate or similar is much better when going abroad anyway.

It's really sad, as languages teach you so much more about the culture and a way to think about the world

@kerstinsailer Hmm. There's an implication there that some people think that learning should be made easy. imho Learning needs a certain level of struggle and teaching means supplying a certain level of support during the struggle. A good teacher is patient and supportive. A good learner is patient and resilient. The former creates the latter.
