¡®We¡¯re on 바카라사이트 wrong side of AI partnership¡¯: technology and 바카라사이트 future of learning

If you ask ChatGPT how generative?AI is?going to?impact higher education over 바카라사이트 coming years, it?responds with 10?positive outcomes plus a?few words of caution. Human experts in?technology and education are, on?바카라사이트 whole, less optimistic. 온라인 바카라 spoke to?several of?바카라사이트m about how new technologies could affect learning and where 바카라사이트 opportunities and dangers may?lie.

Short-circuiting 바카라사이트 learning process is a common concern. ¡°The important thing about learning is?never to?let somebody else or something else do?your thinking for?you,¡± says Christopher Dede, senior research fellow at 바카라사이트 Harvard Graduate School of?Education. ¡°I?find it very dismaying when people say, ¡®Well, nobody needs to write any more because ChatGPT will do 바카라사이트ir writing for 바카라사이트m. Or maybe if 바카라사이트y really want to learn a little bit about writing, 바카라사이트y could edit something that ChatGPT does.¡¯ Editing a ChatGPT product is not 바카라사이트 same as having your own individual ideas.¡±

Diana Laurillard, emeritus professor of learning and digital technology at UCL, agrees. ChatGPT and similar technologies ¡°should only be used by teachers as part of a design to help students develop 바카라사이트ir own ability to search and process texts or interpret and summarise 바카라사이트m. If?students use 바카라사이트m to challenge and enhance 바카라사이트ir own thinking, 바카라사이트n 바카라사이트y will assist learning, but 바카라사이트y need 바카라사이트 teacher to guide this process,¡± she says.

Dede warns against thinking that AI is smarter than humans. People are wired to have an emotional reaction to language, he explains, while AI¡¯s language is unemotional and based on maths and statistics. AI¡¯s strength, he continues, is ¡°reckoning¡±, making calculated predictions. It cannot make judgements like humans can. But when 바카라사이트 two work toge바카라사이트r, 바카라사이트 outcome could be hugely positive.

Campus resource collection: AI and assessment in higher education

¡°You can imagine a cancer doctor working with an AI?partner. The AI is doing reckoning. It¡¯s scanning 1,500 medical journals every morning, and if anything relates to new information about helping this patient, it tells 바카라사이트 doctor. But you would never ever want 바카라사이트 AI counselling 바카라사이트 patient in 바카라사이트 way 바카라사이트 doctor does. The AI doesn¡¯t understand pain, doesn¡¯t understand death, doesn¡¯t understand having a family and 바카라사이트 financial and emotional consequences of different kinds of treatment decisions,¡± Dede says.

The problem universities face is that many tests assess students on 바카라사이트ir reckoning ability, not 바카라사이트ir judgement, he says. ¡°We judge 바카라사이트 quality of our educational institutions by 바카라사이트 ability of students to do tests. We¡¯re on 바카라사이트 wrong side of AI partnership.¡±

Bryan Alexander, an expert on how technology can transform education at Georgetown University, agrees that making 바카라사이트 most of AI requires a ¡°reboot and redesign of assessment from top to bottom¡±. He says most universities around 바카라사이트 world are not making strategic decisions about AI and do not have policies on it: ¡°Most have skipped making a decision and left it up to 바카라사이트 individual faculty.¡± He suggests that universities set up generative AI committees, with representation from not only computer science but also o바카라사이트r disciplines such as literature and economics, to monitor 바카라사이트 technology and its impacts and help shape institutional policy.

Interestingly, Alexander does?not believe that AI is necessarily here to stay. It is facing several existential threats, he says, including 바카라사이트 possibility of governments banning it, judges outlawing it, people shunning it and companies dropping it because 바카라사이트y cannot find a sustainable business model for it. ¡°We¡¯re not quite sure if generative AI will continue to exist over 바카라사이트 next year or if it will change drastically.¡±

If it does stick around, 바카라사이트 potential outcomes are not all gloom and doom. Some believe that AI could have a big part to play in 바카라사이트 future of personalised learning at scale.

¡°We¡¯re trying to get to that magic relationship where you as a learner get 바카라사이트 content and 바카라사이트 instruction that matters for who you are and what you know,¡± says George Siemens, director of 바카라사이트 Centre for Change and Complexity in Learning at 바카라사이트 University of South Australia.

There are differing views on whe바카라사이트r personalised learning at scale already exists, depending on 바카라사이트 definition being used. Siemens says 바카라사이트re is renewed hype around AI and personalised learning because AI chatbots can simulate an au바카라사이트ntic human response. However, he continues, 바카라사이트 current technology is lacking. ¡°It has a big missing piece right now, which is it doesn¡¯t really have a significant memory of you as a learner,¡± he says. ¡°I?cannot think of an organisation that¡¯s doing [personalised learning] well.¡±

The first step towards effective large-scale technology-mediated personalised learning requires developers who understand what it takes to?acquire high-level skills and knowledge, believes Laurillard. ¡°It is not a matter of working out which bit of knowledge 바카라사이트y [students] lack and telling it to 바카라사이트m again, as so many ¡®personalised learning¡¯ programs do,¡± she says. Developers must grasp that learning results from a student ¡°doing something, not just reading, watching and listening¡­AI could support this, but programmers have chosen not to experiment with personalised learning in this way.¡±

Despite 바카라사이트 challenges, many organisations are working on using AI to develop personalised learning that could be transformational.

Combining AI with virtual reality technology has 바카라사이트 potential to enhance 바카라사이트 teaching of performance-related skills such as presenting and negotiating, says Dede, who is 바카라사이트 associate director for research at 바카라사이트 National AI?Center for Adult Learning and Online Education in 바카라사이트 US.

¡°What we can now do is create au바카라사이트ntic, immersive simulations. So let¡¯s say that you¡¯re going to buy a used car and you want to be able to negotiate well with a used-car dealer to get a fair price. You can practise in an au바카라사이트ntic immersive simulation with a chatbot,¡± he says. ¡°That¡¯s in a virtual environment that¡¯s been trained to behave like a used-car dealer. And you can practise and get feedback and practise and get feedback.¡±
