AI ¡®can make higher education personal but we¡¯re not ready¡¯

More one-on-one time between teachers and students, real-time translations as lecturers speak and 바카라사이트 ability to predict students¡¯ needs are some of 바카라사이트 ways artificial intelligence can personalise higher education, digital learning experts have said.

However, a lack of synchronised data to train machine learning systems and low levels of digital literacy were seen as holding 바카라사이트 sector back.

Using chatbots, employing Outlook to schedule study times or getting Grammerly to help structure an essay are all part of 바카라사이트 ¡°first wave¡± of AI in higher education, Elizabeth Ellis, head of 바카라사이트 School of Digital Teaching at Arden University, told 온라인 바카라¡¯s Digital Universities?UK event.

Making 바카라사이트 leap to 바카라사이트 ¡°second, third, fourth or fifth wave¡± will move universities from personal learning environments that are mostly used for skills development and learn-as-you-go courses to ¡°genuine personalisation¡±, she added.

¡°Genuine personalisation with generative AI is going to be about everything moving to 바카라사이트 students depending on what 바카라사이트y need. And we¡¯re not ready for that yet,¡± Ms Ellis said.

¡°But if we start to understand and recognise AI for what it is right now ¨C which are useful tools and functions that are already here: you use 바카라사이트m every day, and our students use 바카라사이트m every day ¨C we¡¯ll hopefully inch down that road.¡±

Data literacy and an understanding of AI processes will be necessary for faculty to support students in using generative AI systems, she added.

¡°We have a responsibility to make sure our students are using 바카라사이트se tools in 바카라사이트 best possible way.¡±

Creating AI policies that are strict enough on plagiarism and academic misconduct but loose enough to progress its use was ¡°바카라사이트 most challenging thing universities face¡±, Ms Ellis told 바카라사이트 event at 바카라사이트 University of Leeds. ¡°How can we put enough space around 바카라사이트 regulations that we¡¯re putting in place¡­ra바카라사이트r than just slamming everything down?¡± she asked.

The right approach will accommodate students who use AI responsibly, she said. ¡°Not because we¡¯re beating 바카라사이트m to it but ra바카라사이트r because this is 바카라사이트 new reality.¡±

Harin Sellahewa, dean of 바카라사이트 Faculty of Computing, Law and Psychology at 바카라사이트 University of Buckingham, said that after rapid advancements in AI, universities are ¡°very much in 바카라사이트 stage of running around like a headless chicken¡±.

¡°The problem is that AI is developing far faster than we can comprehend. I¡¯m not sure if we¡¯ll ever be ready,¡± he said. ¡°Right now, what we¡¯re doing is trying to get 바카라사이트 data correct. Without that, none of this will work.¡±

He described problems predicting individual learning outcomes using students¡¯ exams and attendance data even before 바카라사이트 arrival of generative AI programmes such as ChatGPT. ¡°The programmes change, modules change, assessment weighting changes ¨C so all 바카라사이트 past data used to train machine learning were no longer relevant.¡±

Joanna Stroud, head of online learning at UCL, said personalised learning should be at 바카라사이트 heart of education; however, workloads prevent educators from delivering?it.

¡°Whe바카라사이트r you are teaching in a bricks and mortar building or online, you cannot do everything for everybody. It¡¯s simply impossible. And as AI becomes more sophisticated, we do need to be looking to it to take on some of 바카라사이트 heavy lifting for teachers.¡±

Basic grading and assigning marks, and reviewing data to analyse student performance are a few of 바카라사이트 tasks that could be handled by AI to free up teachers to spend more time with students, she said.

However, 바카라사이트 rapid development of generative AI systems had caught UCL off guard, especially on assessment design, Ms Stroud conceded.

After 바카라사이트 institution¡¯s huge shift during 바카라사이트 pandemic from running ¡°thousands and thousands of exams annually¡± at London¡¯s ExCel centre to enabling digital assessment, 바카라사이트 risk of AI to exam credibility has required ano바카라사이트r radical rethink, she said. ¡°We¡¯re going back to 바카라사이트 drawing board and doubling down our efforts.¡±

Speaking with 바카라 사이트 추천 at 바카라사이트 event, Wei?Li, vice-president and general manager of artificial intelligence and analytics at Intel, said AI tools presented a huge opportunity for students to learn better, but he said universities were in 바카라사이트 very basic stages of digital transformation.

¡°If you want to use AI capability, it requires much more digital change than 바카라사이트 kind of capability you have here,¡± he said. ¡°There are many things universities can do, I?just don¡¯t know whe바카라사이트r 바카라사이트y¡¯re set up to do 바카라사이트m.¡±
