This $900,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program supports a research project led by Northeastern University to develop an AI-empowered reflective learning tool for teaching and training environments across different levels of reality, including digital, virtual, and augmented formats.
The key products and services to be delivered through this 3-year project (11/1/2024 - 10/31/2027) include: 1) Creating an "escape room" study environment with problem-solving tasks across the three virtuality contexts, 2) Building and validating an AI-powered reflective learning tool that uses large language models, behavior/emotion detection, and environmental data to optimize the timing and style of reflection to enhance learners' understanding, problem-solving, and engagement, and 3) Conducting in-person and online user studies to evaluate when and how reflection should take place across the virtuality spectrum. The goal is to develop a flexible AI-enabled reflective learning system that can be integrated into various digital and immersive learning environments.
