If AI can write your paper, design your slides, and explain quantum physics in seconds—why bother learning at all? Are Gen Z students becoming clever users or passive managers of AI?

In this seminar explores what actually happens now AI is our constant companion in teaching and learning: are we building academic skills or just building prompts? Why do so many students default to ‘cognitive offloading’?, and what does that mean for deep learning, motivation, and mastery? We will address some (neuro)psychological processes that explain how and why students ‘offload’ learning tasks, and how we can help them re-learn learning again.

Drawing from a hands-on AI-in-education course, and some research findings, we explore how academic staff can incorporate GenAI in teaching practices and integrate it in our curriculum as a creative partner, rather than just a shortcut. What can our teaching borrow from AI training itself? How do we help students shift from “make this for me” to “help me think this through”? We will offer some insights into what it takes to keep motivation, not just automation, at the heart of education.
