Deep reading, synthesis, and summary are all important skills for developing domain specific knowledge but also for understanding how to acquire other knowledge. Also, as a tool pitched to students—who often don’t know what they don’t know—this seems particularly precarious.

This AI Tool Turns Course Materials Into Podcasts. Professors See Potential.
