“The real promise of Copilot Chat isn’t efficiency—it’s cognition. We’re not using AI to shortcut learning. Quite the opposite. It’s helping us push students beyond knowledge recall into evaluation, synthesis, and justification. The students aren’t just asking for answers.

That’s where the learning really happens.”
