Ambitious Learning Practices

Leveraging AI to foster authentic, real-world, ambitious learning.

Ambitious learning environments embody authentic, complex, real-world contexts that foster collaboration and deep learning. These ambitious educational practices provide a rich environment where students direct their own learning and build knowledge that is meaningful. Our work focuses on ways to develop instruction to support learning through complex problem solving with collaborative inquiry supported by AI technologies.
