New EdUHK-led study reveals how students “move” through learning with peers and AI breakthrough approach highlights assessment of learning processes in the AI era

A new international study reveals that students devote less time to deeper stages of learning, such as integrating ideas and developing final solutions. The research highlights the importance of assessing the learning process, not just the product, to cultivate judgment, creativity, and genuine understanding in the AI era.

EdUHK scholar co-authors breakthrough study in Nature Communications on “multi-core” black carbon aerosols and climate impact

Researchers found that up to 21% of black carbon particles contain two or more cores, previously unaccounted for in global climate models, potentially underestimating BC's light absorption by 50%. The study suggests a 19% increase in global average BC absorption, particularly in wildfire-affected regions.
