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.

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.
