Adaptive learning systems
AI that understands where a learner is, adapts in the moment, and preserves the productive struggle that makes learning stick.
Research to reality
We explore how human-centered AI can help every learner think deeper, create boldly, and thrive in a changing world.

Collaborative intelligence
Intelligence should expand human possibility—not narrow it.
Our research lens
We bring together learning scientists, educators, designers, and AI researchers to turn ambitious questions into responsible, useful tools.
AI that understands where a learner is, adapts in the moment, and preserves the productive struggle that makes learning stick.
Tools that help educators see learning more clearly, design better experiences, and spend more time with students.
New ways to cultivate judgment, curiosity, collaboration, and creative confidence in an AI-shaped world.
Selected work

A multimodal study partner designed to strengthen learner agency, metacognition, and the quality of questions—not simply deliver answers.

A practical language for understanding what learners need to know, question, and create with AI.

Privacy-conscious signals that help teachers notice participation, confusion, and momentum sooner.

From the lab · Field collaboration
We prototype in context, listen closely, and turn real learning moments into better questions for AI.
Our point of view
AI should help learners make choices, form judgment, and own their progress.
We test ideas in real learning contexts and share what works, what fails, and why.
Educators are research partners and designers—not end users added at the end.
