There's a lot of talk about the need for better research on AI and student learning. That's why I'm excited to announce TOPSAIL -- a collaborative effort to move the conversation from "we need this research" to "let's figure out how can we do this research together."

Oops here's the #jsPsych integration guide: terracotta-education.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/...

Announcing a big update to Terracotta: Your LMS course site just became an open laboratory. 🔬

Terracotta now integrates Qualtrics surveys, jsPsych studies, and custom web activities directly in graded LMS assignments. Deploy matrix surveys, measure behavior, test AI tools—right in your course site.

And this just came out... doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

Good questions! Here we used a do-nothing control (instruction without prequestions), which is typical. In answer to "How could they not [help]?" -- a couple recent studies in real classes found no benefit (Carpenter et al, 2018; Gellar et al, 2017)... So it's honestly been murky

Hey thanks for the shout out @amiyake.bsky.social! This was a wild adventure, conducted as part of the XPRIZE Digital Learning Challenge...which I often describe as a grown-up science fair with very tight deadlines for data collection! Lots of credit goes to the coauthors for making it happen 🙌
