Part Three · The Focus Classroom
Across the Week
Each row pairs what the focus day protects with what the open days build using digital tools and AI. Read the row that matches your room.
Focus day · offline
Open days · digital + AI
Writing
Full drafting sessions, with the instructor in the room as the writing happens.
Revising with feedback tools, sourcing research, and testing where AI has a place in the work.
STEM
Whiteboard problem sessions and process workbooks, where the steps matter more than the answer.
Computational tools, real datasets, and AI tutors to check, extend, and pressure-test the work.
Humanities & social sciences
Reading circles, oral histories, and interview practice — work made of attention.
Digital archives, transcription, and AI to surface counter-arguments and rival readings.
Same course, two modes: the focus day protects the thinking; the open days give students structured time working with a variety of digital tools, including AI.
