Research vision: Uedu proposes the “Chat as Learning” measurement paradigm—every prompt a student poses to an AI teaching assistant is an observable externalisation of learning cognition in progress. The motto “Ask Well, Think Deeply” draws on “inquire carefully, reflect thoroughly” from the Doctrine of the Mean and the art of good questioning in the Record of Learning (Xueji); we use Bloom’s Taxonomy to analyse the cognitive engagement patterns in students’ prompts—not to grade performance, but to make thinking processes visible. The paper, by Assistant Professor Chia-Kai Chang and Mr. Kuei-Hao Li, appears in Computers and Education: Artificial Intelligence—the journal ranked #2 worldwide in Education (Impact Factor 23.4), dedicated to research on AI applications in education.
Analysis across four universities, two semesters, 116 courses and over 60,000 student messages shows that about 62% of prompts reach higher-order cognition; moreover, the same student shifts cognitive patterns when the discipline changes—Apply is most prominent in STEM courses (20.8%), Understand dominates in Language courses (31.7%), and Create stands out in Social Science courses (33.8%). The variance in higher-order engagement comes mainly from the course discipline rather than the individual student: cognitive engagement is a discipline-contingent pattern, not a fixed personal interaction style.
See the research →Background and course context: The study's first author is Mr. K.-H. Li, co-founder of Uedu, and it builds on empirical research conducted in his university English course—deeply integrating the dual-role Agentic AI learning environment built on the Uedu platform (AI Lecturer + AI Teaching Assistant) into the course design to examine its effects on learner autonomy, self-regulated learning and intrinsic motivation. Mr. Li's university English course was also selected as a model course; the study thus earns dual recognition—academic (the international SSCI journal) and pedagogical (a model course).
A 16-week controlled study (120 undergraduates; 60 experimental / 60 control) found that when AI guided learners through Socratic questioning and gradually faded its scaffolding as competence grew, students’ gains in learner autonomy, self-regulated learning and intrinsic motivation were significantly greater than the control group (large effect sizes); most students’ questions to the AI also shifted gradually from “seeking answers” toward “seeking elaboration and metacognition.”

AI Socratic dialogue centers on questioning, helping students naturally build critical thinking within your existing course
AI asks, understanding begins
Your teaching, with AI alongside
AI asks, reflection deepens
The strongest evidence for the platform is not our own claim—it is researchers across institutions independently designing and running studies with Uedu as their tool or research site, and publishing in international peer-reviewed journals.

The AI era needs more than a handful of top technical experts (depth); it needs an entire workforce that can collaborate with AI (breadth)—marketing, management, law, design: every role now calls for AI literacy. Uedu focuses on exactly this breadth: equipping students from every discipline to work alongside AI.
"Using AI" is very different from "having AI literacy"—just as knowing how to drive isn't the same as driving literacy. Uedu doesn't just let you use AI; we design it so the more you use it, the more you think, question AI, and judge for yourself.
This page integrates six international and local frameworks—UNESCO, OECD, the EU AI Act, AAAI, IEEE, and Taiwan's Ministry of Education—to explain what AI literacy is, why everyone must learn it after 2026, and how Uedu helps you practice, while documenting global moves such as Purdue University making AI literacy a graduation requirement in Dec 2025.

Reports students write with AI increasingly look like real learning—final exams and written reports are losing their discriminating power. You can't tell which the student understood and which the AI wrote.
Formative assessment looks not at the final "output" but at the "thinking process"—where students get stuck, whether they ask follow-ups, whether they can critique AI answers. Process evidence doesn't lie.
Uedu translates Self-Determination Theory and Vygotsky’s Zone of Proximal Development into the design of its Agentic AI teaching assistant: the agent uses Socratic questioning to guide learners to elaborate and reflect, and lets scaffolding fade gradually as ability grows. In a 16-week quasi-experiment, most learners’ questions to the AI shifted gradually from “seeking answers” toward “seeking elaboration and metacognition”—an observable trajectory of learning behavior.
Uedu is an EdTech platform built around generative AI, integrating teaching, learning and research. Through multidimensional Educational Omics data integration, it creates a personalized learning experience for every learner.
Uedu offers a complete set of teaching and research tools to help teachers improve teaching quality

What is photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use light energy to turn carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. The formula is: 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + light energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
Guide thinking, train the brain
What is photosynthesis?
Great question! Before I answer, let me ask you first:
What "materials" do you think a plant needs to grow?
Um... water, sunlight, and air?
Excellent! You've named three key elements.
So, what role do you think "sunlight" plays in this process? Is it a material? Or...?
The student is thinking about the difference between "energy" and "material"
Every round of AI dialogue is auto-tagged with Bloom's cognitive levels. From "Remember" to "Create," you can watch students' thinking climb from shallow understanding to higher-order reasoning.
AI tags each message's cognitive level in real time—no manual reading needed

Uedu platform uses Educational Omics as its theoretical framework, integrating learning data across six dimensions—cognition, language, physiology/neuroscience, society, environment and ethics—to build a Trusted Educational Data Lake.
Want to add AI Socratic dialogue to your course? You're very welcome!
Want to add AI Socratic dialogue to your course and boost students' thinking? Free for teachers and students—you can experience all features.
This platform is supported by National Central University, with all features provided free of charge.
About data use: When you use the platform, Uedu collects the necessary interaction and learning-process data under defined guidelines for system optimization and teaching-feedback analysis for instructors (for example, generating a course knowledge trail). This data is used solely to improve service quality and is never used for individual assessment or grading. Only if you have signed a research informed-consent form (see the research ethics page) will we use the data, after de-identification, for academic research analysis. In addition, Uedu also supports the collection of exercise- and physiology-related data, which is likewise used only for system optimization; it is used for research purposes only after the user has signed an IRB-approved research informed-consent form.
