Professor Heather Hill of Harvard University will share her recent research on AI-Assisted Professional Learning, which focuses on using AI to transcribe and summarize lessons, detect lesson characteristics, and create student participation profiles.
During the webinar, Associate Professor Anja Thorsten will present findings from a Learning Study focusing on how to teach 9–10-year-old students to use descriptions in story writing in ways that evoke emotions and create suspense for the reader. The study is based on a phenomenographic analysis of qualitatively different ways of experiencing the object of learning, resulting in five categories of description and six critical aspects. I will also illustrate how these critical aspects guided the instructional design.
