Digital Innovations in Education: Scaling Adaptive Learning andAI-Powered Teaching

The Rohatyn Center for Global Affairs program on Global Economics presents “Digital Innovations in Education: Scaling Adaptive Learning and I-Powered Teaching” with Carolina Lopez. 

This presentation examines two studies on digital technology in education for resource-limited settings. One evaluates a computer-adaptive learning platform with group tutoring for improving math performance among Dominican Republic high school students. The other explores how AI-focused teacher training transforms classroom practices in Peru. Both studies provide insights into scalable, tech-driven approaches to address educational inequities and drive systemic change.
