​
On International Day for Digital Learning, Cambridge University Press & Assessment and Educate Ventures Research have announced a partnership to help learners and teachers get the best out of AI in education.
​
The partnership between the two organisations reflects the theme of this year’s International Day for Learning - building digital futures for public education.
​
Both Cambridge and Educate Ventures Research share a commitment to implementing AI in a way which is centred around learner and teacher needs and underpinned by research. The partnership will be able to respond at scale to the increasing demand both from schools and governments for support navigating AI use.​
Peter Phillips, chief executive of Cambridge University Press & Assessment, said:
​
“AI-enabled technology can make a really important contribution to the 100 million learners and teachers that we reach around the world but only if implemented in the right way. Our partnership with Professor Rose Luckin and colleagues will bring together Cambridge’s global expertise in teaching, learning and assessment with Educate’s strength in unlocking AI insights.
​
“Our organisations know each other well and this deeper collaboration is a real opportunity to turn insights and research on AI into action and deliver impact for schools and governments around the world.”
​​
Professor Rose Luckin, founder and chief executive officer at Educate Ventures Research, said:
​
"For AI to truly benefit learners, we need clarity about what we are asking it to do. AI should always be in service of building human intelligence, not substituting for it. That means developing the full range of human capabilities: the metacognitive skills, the sophisticated thinking and the capacity for self-directed learning that will allow people to thrive alongside AI throughout their lives.
​
“What draws Educate Ventures Research and Cambridge together is a shared conviction that this is the right ambition, and that getting there requires rigorous evidence about what actually works. This partnership gives us the opportunity to pursue that ambition at scale.”
