La universidad del futuro: aulas con más de 50 pantallas y robots en clases - LA NACION E-Learning-Inclusivo (Mashup)

#artificialintelligence

After Google Earth, Google Forms is the Google product that I get the most excited about helping other teachers use. From gathering survey data to organizing event registration to creating online quizzes there are lots of things that can be done efficiently if you know how to use Google Forms. That said, Google Forms has lots of little features that are sometimes overlooked even by people who have made lots of forms in Google Forms. In the following video I demonstrate five features of Google Forms that every teacher should know how to use (if they use Google Forms).


Beyond quantum supremacy: the hunt for useful quantum computers

#artificialintelligence

Just occasionally, Alán Aspuru-Guzik has a movie-star moment, when fans half his age will stop him in the street. "They say, 'Hey, we know who you are'," he laughs. "Then they tell me that they also have a quantum start-up, and would love to talk to me about it." "I don't usually have time to talk, but I'm always happy to give them some tips." That affable approach is not uncommon in the quantum-computing community, says Aspuru-Guzik, who is a computer scientist at the University of Toronto, Canada, and co-founder of quantum-computing company Zapata Computing in Cambridge, Massachusetts.


MIT launches digital content library for workforce learning on emerging technologies

#artificialintelligence

In the age of blockchains, 3D printing, CRISPR-Cas9 -- and the inevitable new technologies that are yet to emerge -- today's workforce is struggling to keep up with the latest developments. For large companies and executives, finding resources for workers to learn from that are current, reputable, and unbiased can be challenging. To address this unmet need, MIT has assembled a team of writers, educators, and subject matter experts from both academia and industry to power the Institute's newest online learning offering -- a digital content library designed to help organizations keep their workforces apprised of the latest developments in technology and science. Known as MIT Horizon, the platform contains bite-sized articles, videos, and podcasts on emerging technologies, with early topics including additive manufacturing, artificial intelligence, blockchain technology, and robotics. "Technologies are advancing very rapidly, and we feel a responsibility at MIT to provide learning opportunities that can help today's workforce keep up with this pace of innovation," says Sanjay Sarma, MIT vice president for open learning.


How AI is transforming education and skills development - The Official Microsoft Blog

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence can help us to solve some of society's most difficult challenges and create a safer, healthier and more prosperous world for all. I've already shared the exciting possibilities in the fields of healthcare and agriculture in previous posts. But there may be no area where the possibilities are more interesting – or more important – than education and skills. From personalized learning that takes advantage of AI to adapt teaching methods and materials to the needs of individual students, to automated grading that frees teachers from the drudgery of assessing tests so they have more time to work with students, to intelligent systems that are transforming how learners find and interact with information, the opportunities to improve education outcomes and accessibility will be truly transformational. There are many classrooms around the world where educators teach very diverse groups of students from different cultures, who speak multiple languages.


Artificial Intelligence-Based eLearning Platform: Its Impact On The Future Of eLearning - e-Learning Feeds

#artificialintelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a buzzword that has been coming up more and more in eLearning discussions. It's the next big thing as it has the potential to improve eLearning. Many people ask questions like, "Who uses AI?" "How can it be used?" and "What is its future in the eLearning industry?" This post was first published on eLearning Industry.


MT Tech hosts robot rover competition for high schoolers

#artificialintelligence

BUTTE - Montana Tech in Butte is giving some high school students from around the state a chance to build the best robot rover. Four schools, including Butte High, Red Lodge, Great Falls CMR and Anaconda High were given kits from Montana Tech to build robot rovers -- rovers that could be sent down to rescue trapped miners. The team with the best rover will be rewarded in the end. "We're going to provide all the team participants a $1,000 scholarship to Tech, and the high school mentors receive a stipend for their work. Any supplies that are needed, we provide those as well," said Montana Tech Assistant Dean Curtis Link.

7 university leaders contemplate the future of higher education in Canada University Affairs

#artificialintelligence

How will Canadian universities change over the next 20 years? What challenges will they face and what opportunities lie ahead? In honour of University Affairs' 60th anniversary, we put questions like these to seven people representing different regions and facets of the university enterprise from coast to coast. They spoke about their dreams for universities that better represent the world scholars strive to understand, about their concerns around finances, how the students they serve inspire and teach them, and about the opportunities – and risks – posed by the onslaught of rapid technological change. Most of all, they affirmed that universities have a vital role to play in helping society navigate through the deepest challenges of our time, from climate change to the dangers of misinformation and rising intolerance.


What Challenges Face AI Adoption In Education? 18 Experts Share Their Insights - Disruptor Daily

Therefore, we anticipate gaining trust from schools by doing school tours regularly, attend exhibitions internationally and locally to enhance the exposure as well as letting the fields to understand the advantages of integrating AI into education." "While there isn't much of a challenge for students, as it ultimately enhances their learning experience, the challenge lies with parents and schools. To adopt a new way of thinking and learning, accepting the alternating role of the human element from something as personal as education, seems to be the biggest challenge." "Educators, trainers, and students are generally reluctant to integrate AI into their curriculum when the technology is difficult to use or implement. The AI-based technology needs to be something they can naturally add into their day to day.
