Description

Student learning is often hindered by cognitive overload, where the demand on working memory exceeds its capacity. This overload limits encoding of information for retention in long term memory. This session will explore the transformative potential of AI as a teaching partner to manage cognitive overload. The strategy uses guided AI prompts embedded in instruction to scaffold information. These adaptive prompts allow students to focus on core concepts, fostering development of schemas for long term memory storage. This synergy between human expertise and AI can simplify learning, improve engagement and reduce the stress of cognitive overload.
