Three valuable things you need to do before switching to AI mode

In her X, math teacher Alice Keeler shared her preferred roadmap for integrating ChatGPT and other chatbots into the learning routine. That is what she recommends before generating the needed learning stuff:

1. Find your learning objectives,

2. Define the expected achievements for each activity,

3. Discuss priorities and outcomes.

WEEKLY INSIGHTS

Until they all get it!

AI is passionate enough to help students solve the most challenging math problems. The ability to deliver personalized tutorship and tailored lessons make AI a powerful gameplayer in education, believes Sandesh Khulal, a Digital Strategist. That’s excellent support for teachers and students, even though it’s hardly imaginable that schools will soon look like in sci-fi movies. More insights here.

AI is drawing a new portrait of higher education

An American naturalist philosopher and writer, Kiran Kodithala, who has served over a hundred educational institutions, believes AI will soon be incorporated into all the technologies and applications so that higher education won’t stay out of the process. That’s why it is essential “to think beyond chatbots” to catch the wave of educational AI. According to his prediction kit, self-service portals will become obsolete because of AI, secure AI platforms will predict possible student risks, and AI search bars will replace campus websites.

An AI tool that relies on human opinion

Princeton University and Google researchers created an AI system trained to minimize mistakes. They use an LLM that recognizes situations with missing information. In case it lacks knowledge, this autonomous system asks humans for help. For instance, if it is requested to pick suitable food options, this tool will first ask about the customer’s preferences and allergies. Read more here.

An upgraded AI coach to come

21 public high schools in NYC and The Urban Assembly are pushing a new AI coach to enable teachers to collect data and work with video content more efficiently. This ambitious project is estimated to cost half a million dollars and will take two years to prepare. Learn more about it here.

AI admission officers flood colleges

A recent Intelligent.com survey found that colleges and private high schools apply AI tools in the admission procedures more and more often. 55% of public colleges and 80% of private high schools use AI working with applications—almost 20% of institutions not applying AI in the admission process plan to do that this year.
