Panel DAT06
Approaches to the Use of AI in Learning
Date Thursday, Dec 6 Time – Room Charlottenburg I
What is hype and what is the reality of artificial intelligence (AI) in digital learning? Furthermore, what is the state of play? One contention is that AI can be used to enhance learning, augmenting human intelligence to help us learn better and faster. Another claim is that by taking advantage of the technological revolution, children will be able to find their own individual ways of learning and generating creativity; the victim is rote memorisation. A third view, perhaps a bit more conservative, seeks a learning model that combines online educational content with immersive, real-world teaching, while simultaneously creating an intelligent AI-based learning tool that will help students achieve their potential. Join the fray.
