Generative AI Changes What and How People Learn 

Generative AI represents a powerful tool for transforming how people teach and learn. The UCI Digital Learning Lab is carrying out research and development to ensure that the disruptive power of generative AI is harnessed for beneficial ends.

​We view AI literacy as a vital component of digital literacy, encompassing understanding, accessing, prompting, corroborating, and incorporating AI-generated texts -- and we view these new forms of AI literacy as a key element of instruction for writing, programming, and STEM problem-solving.  With funding from the National Science Foundation, UCI Beall Applied Innovation, and the Learning Agency, we are iteratively developing an instructional AI platform, PapyrusAI, and researching its use in K-12 and college classrooms.
