How AI and Analytics are Shaping the Future Virtual Classrooms
Date Thursday, Nov 23 Time – RoomTegel
As technology continues to advance, pedagogy – the science of teaching and learning – is even more relevant today. A key measurement of any class, physical or virtual, is: “Did students learn?”.
In this presentation, Fred Dixon, co-Founder of BigBlueButton, will explore how AI can assist educators in creating more opportunities for applied learning during their virtual classes, and how related analytics can help educators pin-point students that are struggling and give them feedback in the moment, thereby improving learning outcomes.
His presentation will cover three topics:
- A framework for evaluating effective use of AI and analytics in the virtual classroom
- How BigBlueButton is implementing this framework
- Examples of using the framework to judge the effectiveness (or not!) of using AI in teaching virtual classes.
