arXiv:2607.12295v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and generative AI (GenAI) into education presents significant opportunities to enhance teaching and learning, while raising ethical concerns about the responsible use of these technologies in educational settings. Understanding how the public perceives and debates these issues is increasingly important for educators, institutions, and policymakers seeking to integrate AI responsibly and equitabl

arXiv:2607.12296v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: With the increased use of generative AI (GenAI) applications such as ChatGPT, higher education institutions (HEIs) have released a range of guidelines and policies to direct adoption within their institutions. In computer science (CS) courses GenAI adoption is especially high and the implications for student learning are significant. At the same time, instructors have also been forced to address the use of GenAI as students have started to use it f

arXiv:2602.09907v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: College students increasingly use AI chatbots to support academic reading, yet we lack granular understanding of how these interactions shape their reading experience and cognitive engagement. We conducted an eight-week longitudinal study with 15 undergraduates who used AI to support assigned readings in a course. We collected 838 prompts across 239 reading sessions and developed a coding schema categorizing prompts into four cognitive th

This paper is an extension of a paper presented at the ICAART 2026 conference, which introduced LEA (Learning Engagement Assistant), an adaptive AI tutoring agent combining course-specific Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) with structured Knowledge Component (KC) models across integrated Chat, Tutor, and Quiz modes. That prior work validated LEA on a single STEM course (CMP511) exclusively through simulation, using synthetic learner agents. This paper extends that work by reporting the first

On-policy distillation (OPD) has become a key paradigm in LLM post-training, yet its training dynamics remain poorly understood. We present a systematic study examining the role, pathologies, and regulations of OPD. We first clarify the role of OPD as an exploration catalyst: it steers the student toward correct reasoning paths via dense token-level guidance, without expanding capability ceiling. We confirm this by showing that prompt diversity matters more than per-problem sampling numbers, and

Agentic language models must learn when to call tools, when to consume tool responses, and when to answer directly. This makes multi-teacher on-policy distillation a natural training strategy: one teacher can specialize in tool calls, another in direct responses, and the student can learn from both on its own generated distribution. We show that this strategy can induce a behavior shift that is invisible from aggregate losses alone. In a two-teacher tool-use setting, vanilla generalized knowledg

Too often, parents take for granted that their children’s school experience is fundamentally the same as what’s happening in all the district’s schools. It turns out that is often far from reality.
