Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? In Tzirides et al.'s graduate seminars using an AI writing reviewer and AI image generator, students showed increased comfort with AI and improved ability to critically assess AI outputs by course end. → tzirides

Jacob, S., Miceli, H., & Schneider, H. (2026, May). Landscape of emerging technologies in higher education: A review. Digital Promise & The American Association of Colleges & Universities. https://doi.org/10.51388/20.500.12265/293
q2 · i? · review · r?
The review reports, citing Tzirides et al. (2024), graduate-level seminars with "hands-on experience with generative AI" in which students used an AI writing reviewer and image generator; participants "showed greater ability to assess AI in a critical manner" after using and evaluating AI tools in a course. No effect size is printed.
"This design helped students learn through direct interaction and reflection, resulting in increased comfort with AI and improved ability to critically assess AI outputs by course end."
