Cognitive Design for AI-Powered Learning

Person on laptop with AI agent. "AI & Learning Design Online Conference"
  • Stakes: How costly is error in this task?
  • Transfer: Does capability need to extend beyond the immediate task?
  • Mastery: Is long-term expertise required for sustained performance?

Through structured scenario analysis, live decision mapping, and guided redesign exercises, you will apply the model to decisions affecting AI-assisted content drafting, assessment generation, feedback automation, learner use of AI for synthesis, and performance support design. You will redesign one AI-enabled learning flow to strengthen independent reasoning rather than unintentionally weaken it.
This session is not about resisting AI. It is about designing AI-powered learning that builds durable expertise.

You will learn how to:

  • Apply the Stakes-Transfer-Mastery model to evaluate AI use cases in learning design
  • Distinguish between automation that accelerates performance and automation that undermines mastery
  • Identify risks such as cognitive offloading, automation bias, and fluency illusion in AI-supported learning
  • Redesign AI-enabled learning experiences to preserve depth of capability
