Sid AI Platform for Problem-Based Learning
-
Funded by a MIT Education Innovation grant
-
In collaboration with Purdue University School of Engineering Education
​
With Sid AI, instructors of any experience level can manage students' problem-based learning (PBL) process, following a robust methodology rooted in sound pedagogical principles, 'Structure, Ideate, Develop' (SID). This methodology helps to foster students' creativity, critical thinking, systems thinking, metacognition, and collaborative skills.
Instructors and students are helped by a chatbot named Sid, a virtual teaching assistant who can help clarify instructions, assess student work, and inspire creative ideas.
