A learning-science instrument for faculty
Every assignment hides one piece of thinking that must not be outsourced — the work that, if a machine did it, means nothing was learned. This studio helps you find it, protect it, and hand the rest to AI on purpose.
Free for 30 days, then $67 a semester. Card required to start. Cancel yourself anytime, no email, no phone call.
The whole idea
Teaching with AI is the discipline of deciding which struggles to keep. Protect the struggle that is the point. Outsource the struggle that isn't.
Free for one month
Try the full studio free for 30 days. After that it's $67 a semester. Cancel yourself anytime, no hoops.
Drop in the assignment instructions you'd hand a student. You don't need to know the objective — the studio unpacks what your assignment could be teaching first, then you decide what to protect.
Your decomposition appears here.
Paste an assignment above and unpack it — you might be surprised by what it could teach.
Who this was built for
The assignment designer. You suspect parts of your assignment could go to AI, but you cannot yet say which struggle is the one that teaches. The audit names it.
The redesign skeptic. You have watched colleagues gut assignments in the name of AI-proofing and lose the learning with the busywork. You want a principled line, not a purge.
The committee voice. You keep getting asked where AI belongs in coursework, and "it depends" is true but useless. The audit gives you the dependable version of it depends.
Who built it
Doan Winkel: professor of entrepreneurship at John Carroll University, Founding Director of the Bill & Sue Donnelly School of Leadership and Social Innovation, cofounder of the Experiential Entrepreneurship Curriculum used at about 200 colleges. More than 20,000 teachers read my newsletter, How to Teach With AI. My own assignments go through this studio before my students see them.
Before you start
What do I need? One real assignment, pasted in. The studio does the analysis here; nothing to install, and your students need nothing at all.
What comes out? A friction map of the assignment: the load-bearing struggle to protect, the struggles safe to hand to AI, and redesign language you can paste into the assignment itself.
Why $67 a semester? It prices like one committee lunch and audits every assignment you teach all term. The free month is long enough to run your whole course through it once.
What happens if I cancel? Your card is never charged during the 30 days, and everything the studio already gave you is yours to keep.
