Commit+Consult: Student-Centered Learning with AI
Chris Riesbeck, Associate Professor of Computer Science, McCormick School of Engineering
What if students used AI not just to get answers, but to strengthen their own thinking? In this TEACHxperts session, Christopher Riesbeck will share Commit + Consult, an approach that asks students to develop their own solution before consulting AI and comparing the results. Drawing on classroom examples and student feedback, he’ll explore how this approach supports active learning and reflection, along with a broader checklist for considering whether learning technologies truly support student learning.
