Creative ideas for using AI in Education
Just looked at this #OpenAccess book, which proposes a crowdsourced collection of tools for creatively using AI in education -> https://zenodo.org/record/8072950.
Almost all ideas revolve around genAI tools like ChatGPT, Midjourney, and DALLE2.
It was an exciting read, but I found no mention of adaptive learning, intelligent tutoring or learning analytics.

So I discussed with them to what extent ChatGPT can be helpful in education. Three takeaways:

Making AI More Human
Although my field of study is computer science and artificial intelligence, I am conducting my doctoral studies in a (soon to become) Faculty of Education while my field of expertise is Multimodal Learning Analytics. In this field, the Human component has always been of highest relevance. In the prototypes we developed it is typically a human that uses the developed systems, as well as the human (e.g. teacher or learner) is the subject of investigation.

The golden mean in learning
If you do research in the field of learning science there is almost certainly one point in which you realise how difficult is to model and describe a learning process. Among the human cognitive processes, learning is definitely one of the most complex and fascinating, as it encompasses several dimensions including as motivation, knowledge, emotional states.
