The Learning Research Digest vol. 19

👋 Hello, fellow Learning Scientists!

Welcome to the April 2024 edition of the Learning Science Digest. It’s been a bumper month for academic research this month.

🔥 Hot Off the Research Press This Month

Data-Driven AI in Education: A Review - A comprehensive review which explores how AI technologies are enhancing educational assessments and personalising learning, urging educators to adopt AI tools for improved learning outcomes.

Promoting Student Success with Neutrosophic Sets - A study which investigates AI's role in boosting student engagement, this research highlights the positive effects of sophisticated data models (Neutrosophic Sets) in creating engaging educational environments.

Robo Academic Advisor: Replacing Human Interaction? - Examining the role of AI chatbots in academic advising, this study evaluates their potential to enhance student advising while maintaining human empathy and understanding.

I’ve also included some “golden oldie” papers from last year which I’ve actively used in my research this month.

Evolving Learning Design: LXD versus Instructional Design - A discussion of an increasingly shift away from “learning design” shift towards Learning Experience Design (LXD) which contrasts “traditional” instructional design with a focus on user experience and engagement.

Project-Based Learning in Doctoral Instructional Design - This research highlights the benefits of project-based learning by showing how it enhances practical application and understanding among doctoral students.

Let’s go!
