Building New Learning from What You Already Know

AI for Academic Success What if something you already know could help you understand something completely new? In this episode of AI for Academic Success, Dr. Renée Jordan begins the Module 2 walkthrough with Amara, a creative learner struggling to understand atoms until she connects the science to something familiar: painting. From there, we explore how learners can use their interests, experiences, and prior knowledge as resources for learning. Dr. Jordan also walks through the original Module 2 prompt, designed to help students ask AI for explanations connected to their interests while preserving academic vocabulary and learner responsibility. We examine the prompt in this episode. Testing it with AI comes next.
