Prepare students for a future where AI Tutors, emotion-aware classrooms, and immersive VR lessons are the norm — and discover what’s quietly reshaping education behind the scenes.

AI has already had a major impact on how students approach their learning, yet the technology is only just getting started. Wondering what else is on the horizon?

We’ll cover a few emerging trends and what educators can expect from AI lessons of the future. Hint — classes may not be limited to the classroom forever...

When ChatGPT first appeared in November 2022, many educators and academic institutions responded with blanket bans, unsure whether these tools were more likely to spark innovation or cheating. The jury is still out on that, but administrators have started to relax some policies and give teachers greater freedom to direct when they can be used. How these tools are used, however, is often driven by students.

Cada año, Chegg tiene como objetivo descubrir las perspectivas de los estudiantes sobre los problemas clave más apremiantes que dan forma a sus vidas, desde las finanzas y la salud mental hasta la creciente influencia de la tecnología y sus esperanzas para el futuro. En la Encuesta Global de Estudiantes 2025 les formularon una amplia gama de preguntas sobre el uso de la IA Generativa, cómo creen que cambiaría el panorama educativo y cómo deberían reaccionar las instituciones en respuesta. 

El análisis detallado de los hallazgos del estudio sobre la IA Gen en la Educación se centrará en la adopción, los beneficios, la visión de los estudiantes sobre el panorama educativo y las expectativas hacia las instituciones.

En Oppenheimer Presenta hablamos con expertos en educación e inteligencia artificial sobre las nuevas escuelas sin maestros y basadas en IA que empezaron a ponerse de moda en Estados Unidos. ¿Son efectivas? ¿Están al alcance de todos? ¿Qué cambios produce en la formación de los niños?

A top Google scientist and 2024 Nobel laureate said Friday that the most important skill for the next generation will be “learning how to learn” to keep pace with change as Artificial Intelligence transforms education and the workplace.

The Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE) continues to encourage innovation in higher education. The Commission has approved new Use of Artificial Intelligence Policy and Procedures that reflect this commitment and incorporate emerging research and best practices in this areas:

1. Use of Artificial Intelligence Policy
2. Use of Artificial Intelligence Procedures

The OpenAI's research shows that about 10.2% of all messages are tutoring/teaching, and within the “Practical Guidance” category, tutoring is 36%. “Asking” interactions are growing faster than “Doing” and are rated higher quality by users. Younger people contribute a huge share of messages, and growth is fastest in low- and middle-income countries (How People Use ChatGPT, 2025).

If AI is already acting as a global tutor, the question isn’t “will people learn with AI?”—they already are. The real question we need to ask is: what does great learning actually look like, and how should AI evolve to support it? That’s where decades of learning science help us separate “feels like learning” from “actually gaining new knowledge and skills”.

Despite the rapid adoption of LLM chatbots, little is known about how they are used. We document the growth of ChatGPT’s consumer product from its launch in November 2022 through
July 2025, when it had been adopted by around 10% of the world’s adult population. Early adopters were disproportionately male but the gender gap has narrowed dramatically, and we find higher growth rates in lower-income countries. Using a privacy-preserving automated pipeline, we classify usage patterns within a representative sample of ChatGPT conversations. We find steady growth in work-related messages but even faster growth in non work-related messages, which have grown from 53% to more than 70% of all usage. Work usage is more common for educated users in highly-paid professional occupations.

We classify messages by conversation topic and find that “Practical Guidance,” “Seeking Information,” and “Writing” are the three most common topics and collectively account for nearly 80% of all conversations. Writing dominates work-related tasks, highlighting chatbots’ unique ability to generate digital outputs compared to traditional search engines. Computer programming and self-expression both represent relatively small shares of use. Overall, we find that ChatGPT provides economic value through decision support, which is especially important in knowledge-intensive jobs.

David Cutler afirma que la GenAI no es una solución transformadora para la Educación. Puede desempeñar un papel de apoyo en el aula, pero nunca puede reemplazar lo que realmente funciona: maestros capacitados y dedicados que trabajan directamente con los estudiantes mientras luchan con la dura y necesaria lucha del aprendizaje que lleva tiempo dominar.

Citando varios estudios, Cutler establece que la eficiencia generativa de la IA, no significa que haya ganancia cognitiva en el proceso de aprendizaje. El uso excesivo de la IA debilita las conexiones mentales que son importantes para activar el pensamiento crítico y analítico, procesos clave del pensamiento cognitivo de orden superior y la agencia. 

Mi pensar es, que la Educación debería centrarse más en el desarrollo cognitivo del aprendiz, que en la eficiencia tecnológica para mejorar la enseñanza docente en el aula. 

La 10ma edición del informe Changing Landscape of Online Education (CHLOE), revela un aumento significativo en la demanda de aprendizaje en línea por parte de los estudiantes en medio de un entorno cada vez más competitivo a medida que la IA se avecina sin una estrategia coordinada para su uso.

Los hallazgos del informe incluyen:

1. El interés en línea aumenta en las poblaciones estudiantiles: Desde estudiantes adultos hasta estudiantes universitarios tradicionales, los COL informan una demanda sostenida y creciente de educación en línea.
2. La preparación institucional se tambalea en medio de la creciente demanda:  Solo el 28% de los profesores se consideran completamente preparados para el diseño de cursos en línea y el 45% para la enseñanza. 
3. El mercado de la educación en línea es cada vez más competitivo: En todos los sectores, los COLO describen un panorama de programas en línea más competitivo que antes de la pandemia.
4. Las credenciales alternativas ocupan un lugar central: La inversión en ofertas sin título como certificados, microcredenciales y bootcamps ha aumentado.
5. La integración de la IA carece de coordinación estratégica: Dos tercios de los COOL informan que algunas áreas institucionales están trabajando en una estrategia de IA, pero pocas tienen un plan unificado o coordinado. El nueve por ciento no tiene ninguna estrategia.

¿Y si la escuela no nació para enseñar a pensar… sino para aprender a obedecer?*

El sistema educativo que hoy consideramos “normal” no surgió para liberar a los niños, sino para convertirlos en súbditos dóciles y soldados disciplinados. Desde Esparta y Platón, hasta Lutero, Melanchthon y la Prusia del siglo XVIII, la historia de la escolarización obligatoria es también la historia del mayor experimento de control social de la humanidad.

En este documental analizamos la evolución histórica, política y filosófica del sistema educativo moderno, desde sus raíces en la Antigüedad hasta su consolidación como monopolio estatal global. Verás cómo la escuela pasó de ser un acto libre y comunitario a convertirse en una maquinaria diseñada para uniformar conciencias y moldear ciudadanos obedientes.

El mercado laboraldel futuro requerirá profesionales con habilidades técnicas especializadas y capacidades interdisciplinares. La combinación entre conocimientos tecnológicos y competencias en gestión y comunicación determinará el éxito profesional en 2040.

Según el McKinsey Global Institute, hasta el 25% de los empleos actuales podrían desaparecer o transformarse por completo en los próximos 20 años. Sin embargo, estos cambios también abrirán la puerta a nuevas oportunidades, especialmente en áreas como la inteligencia artificial, la biotecnología y las energías renovables.

PARENTS: Your child’s future depends on what you do next. While most kids sit in overcrowded classrooms memorizing outdated facts, a small group of children are finishing their entire academic day in 2 hours and spending the rest building real skills for the future. This isn’t happening in 2030—it’s happening RIGHT NOW.

What you’ll discover in this video:
• Why the factory model of education is crushing your child’s potential.
• Real examples from AI-Primer Micro-School: https://primer.com/
• How personal AI Tutors are outperforming traditional teachers.
• The micro-school revolution happening in your neighborhood.
• Actionable steps you can take TODAY to give your child a 3-year head start.

Employees across every function are having the same realization: “I need to stay valuable and effective in my role as AI transforms how work gets done.” Organizations face their own version: “We need our workforce to confidently adopt and apply AI capabilities without disrupting productivity or requiring massive retraining investments.”

The jobs to be done go beyond skills acquisition. Employees need to feel confident navigating AI tools, be perceived as forward-thinking contributors, and make tangible progress in their daily work. Organizations need to focus on teaching their employees to use AI effectively and ethically as they build adaptive capability at scale, all while maintaining operational excellence.

Traditional learning solutions consistently fail to fulfill these requirements. Yet the solution is not found in simply hiring more tech talent, sending people to online classes, or even declaring that the future is agentic. Instead, the answer lies in a systematic reinvention, where organizations build a learning system oriented around jobs to be done. It requires creating an operating system for permanent reinvention and adaptability that increases capability, enables agency, and scales leadership.

A learning system enables people to continually learn in the flow of work, moving beyond single courses or formal training into holistic, guided learning journeys that drive faster time to competency. By combining diverse modules, modalities, and formats, such as snackable content, hands-on practice, assessments, and certifications, Udemy creates a flywheel of skills development: sparking curiosity, deepening mastery, and proving skills while delivering measurable performance improvement

Nos encontramos en el umbral de una transformación que trasciende cualquier revolución pedagógica anterior. La IA no representa simplemente otra herramienta tecnológica que debemos integrar en nuestras aulas; constituye el catalizador de una metamorfosis cognitiva que está redefiniendo la naturaleza misma del pensamiento, el aprendizaje y la construcción del conocimiento humano.

Esta metamorfosis plantea una interrogante fundamental que atraviesa los cimientos de nuestro sistema educativo: ¿cómo debe evolucionar la educación cuando la cognición humana se fusiona inexorablemente con la IA para crear formas híbridas de pensamiento que superan las capacidades de ambas por separado?

Según Tarrant, la IA presenta oportunidades concretas para simplificar tareas rutinarias, lo que facilita que los educadores enfoquen su trabajo en aspectos significativos, como el análisis profundo o la creatividad. Esta perspectiva redefine el rol del profesor en la escuela y en la universidad, donde la transmisión mecánica de conocimientos cede ante la promoción de la reflexión, el debate y la generación de ideas propias por parte de los estudiantes .

Gardner, speaking during a forum Wednesday at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, called AI as fundamental a change to education as the world had seen in 1,000 years — and even said it may render obsolete many of the forms of mind he is famous for describing. 

“The need to have everybody in the class doing the same thing, being assessed in the same way, will seem totally old-fashioned,” he said. 

La Educación Superior latinoamericana no siempre prepara a los jóvenes para el futuro laboral. Mientras la inestabilidad económica e Inteligencia Artificial transforman el mercado de trabajo, millones de jóvenes quedan atrapados entre la la informalidad y la desigualdad.

Este episodio explora por qué la universidad, tal como la conocemos, podría no ser suficiente y qué cambios urgentes necesita para no quedarse atrás.

A recent study by Edweek indicates a low AI adoption rate among educators, highlighting a need for training and support, a trend likely mirrored by Instructional Designers. Despite AI's rapid integration into ID, a gap in AI expertise persists. Instructional Designers often explore AI's potential opportunistically. Thus, there is a need to develop a comprehensive AI skill set to leverage its full benefits. Although, by now, many materials exist to support Instructional Designers regarding AI integration in their craft, a holistic framework describing the skills required for Instructional Designers to master AI is still elusive.

This report introduces LearnWorlds' Framework, designed to help Instructional Designers master AI. Based on extensive research and supported by three AI-focused eBooks and developed AI tools, it positions LearnWorlds as a field leader, demonstrating unparalleled expertise and innovation. Assess your AI expertise across our Framework and set your personalized learning goals to master the AI expertise.

No basta con conocer el modelo de inteligencia artificial que vamos a utilizar; el verdadero poder está en la forma en que redactamos nuestras instrucciones, lo que hoy conocemos como prompts. La calidad de la imagen generada depende directamente de nuestro dominio del lenguaje que estos modelos entienden mejor. Dicho de otra manera, la creatividad ya no se mide solo en ideas, sino en la precisión con la que logramos describirlas para que una máquina las traduzca en imágenes.

Far too little is understood about the advances of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its implications throughout society. In the education sector, there is much discussion on what AI can do to change the delivery of education, but little is known about how AI is shifting the ground rules as to what students should learn to complement AI capabilities effectively. If public policy wishes to do more than adapting curricula and instructional system post-hoc to every new AI tool that is thrown into the market, it needs to take an active role to anticipate the evolution of AI capabilities.

This report outlines a methodology to do exactly that. This methodology provides a set of indicators along key dimensions of human capabilities that each describes the development of AI towards full human equivalence. These indicators describe: Language; Social interaction; Problem solving; Creativity; Metacognition and critical thinking; Knowledge, learning and memory; Vision; Manipulation; and Robotic intelligence. The indicators are presented in scales of five levels, where the most challenging capabilities for AI systems are found towards the top. Grounded in human psychology, this approach offers a structured and high-level perspective on AI development.

High School students, especially 12th graders, are reading and learning math and science at historic lows, according to a new report from the National Assessment of Education Progress.

The new report, known as the Nation's Report Card, was released Monday by the National Center for Education Statistics, or NCES, and the Department of Education. It is the first nation's report card to be released since the coronavirus pandemic.

Según Salesforce, solo el 31 % de la Generación Z a nivel mundial considera estar plenamente preparado para enfrentar las demandas del mercado laboral digital.

Esta brecha evidencia que la formación en competencias tecnológicas no puede esperar hasta la vida profesional; debe comenzar desde la infancia con recursos que integren lo analógico y lo digital, permitiendo que los estudiantes desarrollen habilidades clave sin dejar de lado la escritura manual.

Some of the results are perhaps surprising: Relatively few students say that generative AI has diminished the value of college, in their view, and nearly all of them want their institutions to address academic integrity concerns—albeit via a proactive approach rather than a punitive one. Another standout: Half of students who use AI for coursework say it’s having mixed effects on their critical thinking abilities, while a quarter report it’s helping them learn better.

Here are seven things to know from the survey, plus some expert takes on what it all means, as higher education enters its fourth year of this new era and continues to struggle to lead on AI.
