This article meanders a bit and I don't necessarily agree with where it ends up, but it makes some important points on the way. The first is, before we talk about improving learning (through AI or otherwise) we need to have some understanding of what we mean by 'better' and 'learning'. The second is that there is no consensus on this (and, I would add, won't be so long as people keep referring back to educational theory as though it were fact). Engagement, writes Cormier, is much more important than remembering. With this I agree. But I wouldn't say that only human practitioners can stimulate engagement.
