AI methodology for university teaching: teaching people to think with it

« Teach with method. Train with criterion. Certify the learning »

Your students already use AI — the question is whether they learn to think with it or to depend on it. SIMPLICITY LAB© is the methodology that decides which.

SIMPLICITY LAB© brings AI into the classroom without switching off critical thinking. The AI does not give answers: it forces students to justify their own.

Simplicity Lab · Simplicity Student

AI at university and in business schools. More criterion, more learning, less noise.

Simplicity Lab and Simplicity Student are two complementary solutions that help people use artificial intelligence with criterion, build real skills and prepare students and teachers for the future. Both are in use in classrooms at the Universidade da Coruña.

How Simplicity Lab works

Fewer notes. More impact. An active, challenge-based learning model, with AI as a critical co-pilot, not a substitute for thinking.

  1. A real problemThe authentic challenge is the starting point, not the final example.
  2. SimplificationReducing complexity to the essentials without losing rigour.
  3. Applied resolutionIterating towards a decision that can be defended and communicated.

One class, six blocks

  1. 01Dynamic openingThe question of the day: students walk in thinking, not copying notes.
  2. 02Mini-lectureFive questions for every concept: what it is, what determines it, how it is measured, why it matters and how it would be examined.
  3. 03Applied AIProgressive micro-training: understanding, working with data, comparing scenarios and exercising criterion.
  4. 04Guided real caseFrom the problem to professional judgement: problem, data, the AI’s hypothesis and a nuanced conclusion.
  5. 05Micro-debate and pitchThink, compare, decide. And defend it in 60 seconds, as if before a management committee.
  6. 06Structured closeThree ideas to take away: one conceptual, one methodological and one professional.

“I do not choose between innovation and the exam. I use innovation so that they master the syllabus they will be examined on.”

How Simplicity Student works

  1. Teacher firstThe course sets goals, sources and rules. AI comes in afterwards.
  2. Reasoning before the answerSókrates© asks, diagnoses and has the student explain it in their own words.
  3. Practise and learn from mistakesPractice and the Error Book turn each mistake into a reinforcement plan.
  4. Prove it without helpAI-OFF and Exam Lab separate what the student does with help from what they can do alone.

There is no need to ban AI. What is needed is to design how it is used.

  2. 2A pilotOne course or programme, with its teachers, its sources and its rules.
  3. 3Measure and decideUnderstanding, mistakes, autonomy and use. It is scaled up only if it adds value.

Are you a lecturer? There is a pioneer programme for university teaching staff: tell us in the form.

  • In use in classrooms at the Universidade da Coruña
  • Methodology registered on a public blockchain since April 2026 · SFG-CERT-2026-7831

We start with a pilot in one course or programme. Simplicity Student© does not replace the teacher or the learning platform, and does not by itself constitute a certification or guarantee regulatory compliance.

In education, AI can assist the process. Academic responsibility remains human.
