In a world of instant answers, discernment matters more than ever. “Holding the Compass” explores metacognition, agency, and stewardship in an augmented learning landscape. This episode asks not what tools can do, but who is steering.

Drawing on research in metacognition, motivation, and identity, the episode explains how learners remain authors of meaning by slowing down, reflecting, and questioning assumptions. We explore how agency improves transfer, how discernment protects dignity, and why stewardship must guide system design.

This episode centers human judgment as the compass that keeps learning grounded.
