I road‑tested Google Gemini's Guided Learning mode - here’s my hot take on how it performs & how it compares to OpenAI's Study Mode: ✔️ What Gemini's Guided Learning Gets Right → Retrieval Practice – Interactive quizzes and flashcards make you generate answers from memory, harnessing the Generation Effect for more durable learning (Slamecka & Graf, 1978; Jacoby, 1978) → Cognitive Load management – Chunks complex topics into digestible steps, preventing the overwhelm that kills learning (Sweller, 1988; Sweller, van Merriënboer & Paas, 1998) → Multimodal Delivery – Draws on a blend of text, diagrams, YouTube videos & interactive practice to deliver learning content, enhancing both engagement and outcomes (Paivio, 1990) → Patient but Provocative Tutoring – Creates psychological safety through non‑judgmental guidance, encouraging the risk‑taking essential for deep learning (Edmondson, 1999) A solid B+ performance — Study Mode’s strength is Socratic questioning, but Guided Learning’s multimodal content ecosystem & more "strict" tutoring style gives it the instructional edge. ❌ Critical Gaps → No Persistent Learner Profiling – Like Study Mode, Guided Learning misses the persistent knowledge & adaptation that defines effective tutoring (Brusilovsky, 2001). Note: as observed by Claire Zau, a Google Classroom integration could layer in persistent learner profiles — something that could change the game & which OpenAI can’t match. → ZPD Blind Spot – Like Study & Learn mode by OpenAI, Guided Learning doesn’t ask questions that help define your learning level or Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD). Whether you’re K12 or advanced, it doesn't calibrate the challenge or scaffolding to your actual developmental stage up front, missing a key step for truly adaptive support (Vygotsky, 1978). → Productive Struggle Deficit – While it pushes back more than Study Mode by OpenAI, Guided Learning still jumps in with help too quickly, robbing learners of the cognitive friction that builds problem‑solving resilience & drives learning (Kapur, 2008, 2014; Bjork & Bjork, 2011) → Shallow Self‑Reflection – Rarely pushes for deep metacognitive thinking (“Why that approach?”), limiting transfer to new contexts (Chi et al., 1989, 1994; VanLehn, Jones & Chi, 1992) → Recognition Bias – While quizzing is strong, it could and should use more open‑ended generation tasks that embed learning more effectively (Slamecka & Graf, 1978; Jacoby, 1978) 📊 The Verdict: Guided Learning by Google Gemini Vs Study Mode by OpenAI While Study Mode remains stronger in Socratic questioning, Guided Learning edges ahead overall thanks to multimodal content, advanced cognitive load management & more provocative tutoring. However, both tools share some fundamental limitations: no learner persistence, limited metacognitive depth & overly-sycophantic tutoring. Have you tried Guided Learning yet? How does it compare with Study Mode for you? Happy experimenting, Phil 👋

„Am besten lässt sich das so beschreiben: eine ständig erreichbare, allwissende Sprechstunde rund um die Uhr“ Heute wurde der Lernmodus in ChatGPT gelauncht.

Technology often outpaces the ability of organizations to embrace it. We look at how businesses can overcome the growing challenge of gen AI adoption.

Excited to share our latest commentary just published in Nature Reviews Psychology! ✨ ""    Generative AI tools such as ChatGPT are reshaping education, promising improvements in learner performance and reduced cognitive load. 🤖 🤔But here's the catch: Do these immediate gains translate into deep and lasting learning? Reflecting on recent viral systematic reviews and meta-analyses on #ChatGPT and #Learning, we argue that educators and researchers need to clearly differentiate short-term performance benefits from genuine, durable learning outcomes. 💡 📌 Key takeaways: ✅ Immediate boosts with generative AI tools don't necessarily equal durable learning ✅ While generative AI can ease cognitive load, excessive reliance might negatively impact critical thinking, metacognition, and learner autonomy ✅ Long-term, meaningful skill development demands going beyond immediate performance metrics 🔖 Recommendations for future research and practice: 1️⃣ Shift toward assessing retention, transfer, and deep cognitive processing 2️⃣ Promote active learner engagement, critical evaluation, and metacognitive reflection 3️⃣ Implement longitudinal studies exploring the relationship between generative AI assistance and prior learner knowledge Special thanks 🙏 to my amazing collaborators and mentors, Samuel Greiff, Jason M. Lodge, and Dragan Gasevic, for their invaluable contributions, guidance, and encouragement. A big shout-out to Dr. Teresa Schubert for her insightful comments and wonderful support throughout the editorial process! 🌟 👉 Full article here: https://lnkd.in/g3YDQUrH 👉 Full-text Access (view-only version): https://rdcu.be/erwIt #GenerativeAI #ChatGPT #AIinEducation #LearningScience #Metacognition #Cognition #EdTech #EducationalResearch #BJETspecialIssue #NatureReviewsPsychology #FutureOfEducation #OpenScience

It's different from what we've had before: 𝐔𝐩𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 ("teach me") - commonly done through hands-on learning with feedback and reflection, such as scenario simulations, in-person role-plays, facilitated discussions, building and problem-solving. None of that has become less relevant, but AI has enabled scale through AI-enabled role-plays, coaching, and other avenues for personalised feedback. 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 ("help me") - support in the flow of work, previously often in the format of short how-to resources located in convenient places. AI has elevated that in at least two ways: through knowledge management, which helps retrieve the necessary, contextualised information in the workflow; and general & specialised copilots that enhance the speed and, arguably, the expertise of the employee. Yet, 𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 (‘do it for me’) is different – it takes the task off your plate entirely. We’ve seen hints of it with automations, but the text and analysis capabilities of genAI mean that increasingly 'skilled' tasks are now up for grabs. Case in point: where written communication was once a skill to be learned, email and report writing are now increasingly being handed off to AI. No skill required (for better or worse) – AI does it for you. But here's a plot twist: a lot of that enablement happens outside of L&D tech. It may happen in sales or design software, or even your general-purpose enterprise AI. All of which points to a bigger shift: roles, tasks, and ways of working are changing – and L&D must tune into how work is being reimagined to adapt alongside it.

When I say a ‘traditional course’, I mean learning content (instructor-led or self-service) delivered online or face-to-face either, going from beginning to end with little variation in content or delivery. These courses have been the mainstay of training at work since I started in the classroom in the 1980s. For some, the idea that the traditional course is doomed come as a shock. For others, it’s self-evident. Listening to researchers, experts and practitioners like Dani Johnson, Dr Philippa Hardman and Gregg Collins, I am convinced that within 5 years most organisational training will abandon these traditional courses. Why? It is now easy to personalise content, even in a simple fashion, with AI. With extra effort, you can deliver content via adaptive delivery that understands where you are succeeding and failing and changes what you learn, and how you learn it, to ensure you reach competency faster. It’s more effective, more enjoyable, and faster. All of this is already happening, and it's only going to get easier and more wide-spread. But the real drive will come not from the technology, but from the learners. The technology enables the change. The learners will demand it. Once enough people have experienced content delivered with this flexibility – probably initially in their private lives, as consumers – they will start to ask why their employers aren’t delivering content the same way. So I have three questions for you this Friday: · Do you agree that the traditional course doomed? · If so, is the timescale of 2-5 years reasonable? · What are the implications of all this? I’d love to hear your thoughts. | 77 comments on LinkedIn

This week I detail the whole story: how the $360 billion corporate learning market is being blown up by AI.This tidal wave has now arrived, with every major ...

Key findings: - STEM students, particularly in Computer Science, are early adopters of AI tools like Claude, accounting for 36.8% of conversations despite representing only 5.4% of U.S. bachelor's degrees. - Students interact with AI in four primary ways: Direct Problem Solving, Direct Output Creation, Collaborative Problem Solving, and Collaborative Output Creation, each occurring at similar rates. - Claude is mainly used for creating and improving educational content (39.3%), technical explanations (33.5%), and higher-order cognitive functions like Creating (39.8%) and Analyzing (30.2%). Students are not just seeking quick answers; they're using AI as a collaborative tool to enhance their learning journey. This trend highlights the transformative potential of AI in higher education. And it shows: students are smarter than many teachers think or fear. I also liked this graphic which however is also nice marketing showing Claude being used for higher order thinking via creation something new… which is the strength of LLMs obviously. #AIinEducation #HigherEducation #STEM #Innovation #FutureofLearning

In this podcast I explain how Large Language Models and neural networks are reinventing the HR Technology market. After more than 30 in-depth interviews with HR Tech vendors, we see three generations of AI solutions: - Emerging: AI features added on - First Generation: AI capabilities built-in - Second Generation: Platforms built on AI As I discuss in this week's podcast, vendors in category 3 are the most transformational of all. These vendors are building their entire product set around Large Language Models and expansive neural networks. While they were once considered new, as you'll learn in this podcast I believe these "built on AI" platforms are the future of the market. Stay tuned for our new whitepaper on the HR Tech vendor market and how AI is changing the entire marketplace.
