Known as the Master of Education (Learning Sciences & AI), the refreshed programme incorporates artificial intelligence across educational practices, assessment, learning design, and learning analytics instead of treating it as a standalone subject. Programme leader Associate Professor Wen Yun stressed that educators must teach students to interrogate automated feedback as immediate answers become ubiquitous. Programme graduates, including Nanyang Polytechnic lecturer Dr Jayden Ang, apply these learning science principles by using research and student feedback to design coursework that requires active knowledge application.

NIE’s refreshed Master of Education (Learning Sciences & AI) explores how educators can use the technology without losing sight of how students learn, think and make decisions for themselves.
Early in his career, Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP) lecturer Jayden Ang participated in a curriculum review of a module he was teaching. Although he had a PhD in chemistry and strong subject knowledge, he found himself on less certain ground when the discussion turned to teaching and learning.
“Many pedagogical concepts and terms were unfamiliar, and I sometimes struggled to follow the conversation,” said Dr Ang. “It became clear that knowing a subject is not the same as understanding how students learn or how to design effective learning experiences.”
That realisation prompted Dr Ang to pursue formal teacher training. In 2024, with NYP’s support, he completed a Master of Education (Learning Sciences & Technologies), or MEd (LST), at the National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NIE NTU, Singapore). The programme deepened his interest in pedagogy, educational technology and research.
It has since been refreshed as the Master of Education (Learning…
Escalating infrastructure and development costs continue to weigh heavily on the artificial intelligence sector as profitability remains elusive for top players. While top-line growth surged, the widening deficit underscores the massive capital required to sustain advanced model operations. These disclosures coincide with heightened investor scrutiny over fiscal viability, setting a critical backdrop for rival offerings across the market.
Underwriters handling the public market debut are evaluating higher target metrics to capitalize on strong interest from the investment community. Adjusting the initial terms would push the artificial intelligence developer into a market capitalization tier of at least $1.5 trillion. This potential shift reflects significant institutional appetite for premier artificial intelligence assets ahead of the offering.
The maker of the Claude chatbot is combining a public listing with a massive private placement backed by top semiconductor and cloud partners. This unprecedented capital raise aims to capitalize on rapid revenue acceleration while navigating broader artificial intelligence market volatility driven by proposed data center regulations. The transaction will allow the company's founders and early backers to sell personal shares alongside newly issued equity.
