A few hours ago, Google published a white paper laying out their vision for the Future of Learning. Here's the TLDR:
The Headline:
ð Global learning is at a crossroads: learner outcomes have dropped sharply worldwide, and UNESCO projects a shortage of 44 million teachers by 2030.
ð AI is positioned as *the* tool to save us from an impending education crisis BUT...
ð The real "secret weapon" for improving education isn't the tech: it's the learning science we build into it.
According to Google, the four biggest opportunities offered by AI in education are:
ð¥ Learning Science at Scale â Embed evidence-based methods (retrieval practice, spaced repetition, active feedback) directly into everyday tools.
ð¥ Making Anything Learnable â Adjust explanations, examples and complexity to meet each learner where they are.
ð¥ Universal Access â Break down language, literacy and disability barriers through AI-powered translation and transformation.
ð¥ Empowering Educators â Free up teacher time through AI-assisted lesson planning, resource creation and differentiation.
Overall, Google's latest white paper signals an evolving ed-tech culture which centres on a more substantive partnership between ed & tech:
ð Co-Creation: Google commits to investing in evidence-based approaches to learning design and development and to rigorous evaluation, pilot studies and educator-led research to test and demo impact.
ð Collaborative Development: Google commits to working with schools, NGOs, researchers and learning scientists to co-design tools for learning.
You can read the white paper in full using the link in comments.
Happy innovating!

TeachLM: six key findings from a study of the latest AI model fine-tuned for teaching & learning.
TeachLM: six key findings from a study of the latest AI model fine-tuned for teaching & learning.
LLMs are great assistants but ineffective instructional designers and teachers. This week, researchers at Polygence + Stanford University published a paper on a new model â TeachLM â which was built to address exactly this gap.
In my latest blog post, I share the key findings from the study, including observations on what it tells us about AIâs instructional design skills.
Hereâs the TLDR:
ð¥ TeachLM outperformed generic LLMs on six key education metrics, including improved question quality & increased personalisation
ð¥TeachLM also outperformed âEducational LLMsâ - e.g. Anthropicâs Learning Mode, OpenAIâs Study Mode and Googleâs Guided Learning - which fail to deliver the productive struggle, open exploration and specialised dialogue required for substantive learning
ð¥TeachLM flourished at developing some teaching skills (e.g. being succinct in its comms) but struggled with others (e.g. asking enough of the right sorts of probing questions)
ð¥ Training TeachLM on real educational interactions rather than relying on prompts or synthetic data lead to improved model performance
ð¥TeachLM was trained primarily for delivery, leaving significant gaps in its ability to âdesign the right experienceâ, e.g. by failing to define learnersâ start points and goal
ð¥Overall, human educators still outperform all LLMs, including TeachLM, on both learning design and delivery

â AI futures arenât just about intelligence scores â they push us to rethink what âknowingâ really means. And the whole debate isnât only technical but philosophical: how do we define learning, progress, and human identity in an AI age?

â AI in schools and universities is not inevitable â education systems have choices, agency, and the power to shape direction. The core tension here: opportunity for reinvention vs. risks of over-automation and cultural bias.

â Classrooms canât be reduced to data points â AI must respect the incomputable nature of learning. And hyper-personalization risks turning education into an isolated bubble rather than a social dialogue.

â AI can close divides â but only if it is localized, contextualized, and designed for inclusion. Without clarity, bias will persist: marginalized groups risk being left behind.
