Ep. 40 Did the Student Learn? Rethinking Education in the Age of AI with John Katzman
What does AI actually change about learning and what should colleges stop worrying about? In this episode, we talk with education entrepreneur John Katzman, founder and CEO of Noodle and previously the founder of The Princeton Review and 2U. We discuss AI tutoring, online learning, what universities are getting wrong about AI, and why Katzman believes the better question is not “who typed the words?” but “did the student learn?” We also explore what meaningful evidence of learning looks like and how AI might make education more social and connected rather than more isolating.
