Using AI to Nudge Student Metacognition and Responsibility for Learning

John Fritz and six UMBC colleagues are authors on a new paper in the Online Learning Journal’s special issue on Higher Education in an AI-Transformed World. Their paper, "Asked & Answered: Using AI to Nudge Student Metacognition and Responsibility for Learning," examines how UMBC is exploring the use of AI to personalize, scale, and nudge students toward becoming more self-regulated learners. Specifically, four UMBC courses, varying in discipline, size, and use of technology, collectively share a common pedagogical goal of cultivating students’ willingness and ability to learn how to learn through AI-assisted formative practice.
