Some powerful geek ideas
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.
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.
