EdTech Insiders
Overview
What evidence says about effective AI tutoring—and how to design systems that deepen learning without replacing human connection.
AI tutors aren’t coming—they’re already here. Millions of learners use them daily, adoption is accelerating rapidly, and the window to shape how this field develops is narrowing.
This webinar brings together leaders from major technology companies and edtech startups to examine what actually works in AI tutoring today, and what must change to ensure these tools truly support learning rather than shortcut it.
We’ll focus on how AI tutoring can deliver real learning gains, build deep understanding, and strengthen—not replace—the human relationships at the heart of education.
You’ll learn:
- What current research and evidence reveal about AI tutoring effectiveness beyond engagement metrics
- How to design AI tutors that promote deep understanding rather than cognitive offloading
- How AI can support learning while preserving human connection, trust, and instructional intent
