AI is here to stay
Despite its flaws, despite its hallucinations, AI is not going anywhere.
Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) Anderson’s Tutor (Ai Tutor) is exceptional. It’s the Cognitive AI that won the “American Nobel,” the 2011 Ben Franklin Medal for Anderson’s groundbreaking Cognitive Science, specifically his ACT-R model of cognition. It has proven efficacy.

Learning to Learn
The “Learning to Learn” framework bridges high school class participation to college success. This is especially important in STEM. It doubles student degree success.
It equips students with the essential tools to succeed in college by:
- Focusing on mastery not memorization
- Promoting active learning
- Encouraging student learning independence
- Modeling successful study habits
- Creating collaborative study-group support structures
These tools and techniques can be used in ALL college courses.
