Responsible AI-assisted learning for computer science education.

This work advances education in Asheville through collaboration with UNC Asheville and Dr. Adam Whitley. The focus is on helping students use AI tools without losing control over learning goals, planning, and evaluation.

Active Collaboration

UNC Asheville Curriculum Collaboration

AIML collaborates with Dr. Adam Whitley, Assistant Professor of Computer Science at UNC Asheville, on curriculum design for AI-assisted computer science education.

The work emphasizes structured planning, explicit acceptance criteria, human oversight, and durable learning practices so that AI becomes a support for education rather than a substitute for student reasoning.

Student-Centered Learning

Students define goals, constraints, and evaluation criteria before relying on AI-generated outputs.

Objective Drift Prevention

The curriculum addresses cases where AI assistance gradually pulls a project away from the student's original educational objective.

Human-in-the-Loop Workflows

The approach preserves student agency by separating planning, execution, review, and acceptance decisions.
