What if we encourage generative AI to see how it impacts learning?
CMU leaders work to understand what opportunities and challenges generative AI tools bring to higher education.
Sit down with Provost Jim Garrett, Vice Provost for Teaching and Learning Innovation Marsha Lovett, and Senior Vice Provost for Academic Initiatives Amy Burkert to learn more about the use of generative AI tools in education, the science of learning and what ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉúTV is doing differently in the age of AI.
Our goal is to make student and faculty success the norm, not the exception. Decades of research show that combining great teaching, effective courseware, and continuous learning research leads to meaningful improvements in student outcomes.

What is Learning Engineering?
CMU uses learning engineering to make classes better every time we teach them.
Norman Bier explains how we use learning engineering to work together with our students to tackle the kinds of big problems that are the hallmark of a Carnegie Mellon education.
CMU's Leadership in Learning Science
Carnegie Mellon has been a pioneer in the science of learning for decades. Some of these major initiatives include:
The OLI applies learning science and continuous feedback to open, research-backed courses used by hundreds of institutions worldwide — driving dramatically higher learning gains, including six times the improvement in half the time compared to traditional instruction.
METALS is an intense one-year, interdisciplinary master's program that trains graduate students to apply evidence-based research in learning to create effective instruction and educational technologies within formal and informal settings.
Leonard Gelfand Center
The Gelfand Center works with faculty, students and staff through on-campus and community-based activities that improve educational opportunities, especially in the areas of science, technology, engineering and mathematics education for youth.
The Simon Initiative
The Simon Initiative at ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉúTV is a cross-disciplinary, learning-engineering initiative aimed at measurably improving student learning outcomes by applying decades of learning science research to education.
CS Academy is a project in CMU’s that has the goal of developing a novel, world-class, online, interactive high school computer science curriculum that is entirely free. CS Academy provides computer science curriculum to more than 500,000 students and 6,000 teachers in all 50 states.
Workforce Development through the SMART Robotics Technician Program
Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy’s SMART Robotics Technician program offers 200 hours of hands-on learning for aspiring technicians in smart manufacturing and advanced robotics.
