About Us

We are cognitive psychological scientists interested in research on education. Our main research focus is on the science of learning. (Hence, "The Learning Scientists"!) 

We aim to :

• Motivate students to study
• Increase the use of effective study and teaching strategies that are backed by research
• Decrease negative views of testing

Elevates's First Webinar for Term 2 - 6 May

This is a brand-new parent webinar focused on artificial intelligence and study — an area many schools and families are currently navigating. 

In our recent survey of over 3,000 students, we found that 75% are already using AI when they study. However, over 40% reported using it primarily to answer homework questions or write essays for them, rather than to support their learning. 

Our upcoming parent webinar will help parents understand what AI tools such as large language models actually are, the most common mistakes students make when using them, and how they can support ethical, effective AI use at home.
