<p>SynthesisAI is a design and research initiative focused on developing and deploying intelligent technologies that foster meaningful and ethical partnerships between students and AI in collaborative knowledge creation. The project integrates two interconnected design components:</p>
<ul>
<li>SynthesisAI, a tool powered by learning analytics techniques and GenAI to support knowledge synthesis practices; and</li>
<li>Pedagogical strategies that guide its classroom integration, emphasizing student agency and collaborative knowledge creation.</li>
</ul>
<p>We use co-design methods to develop and implement the tool in both lab and real-world classroom settings. Our research investigates how AI can support and mediate collaborative learning in higher education contexts.</p>
