Educational Advances in Artificial Intelligence

For those who haven't heard of it, EAAI is a symposium that is held in conjunction with AAAI. The symposium provides a venue for researchers and educators to discuss pedagogical issues and share resources related to AI and education. This year, the symposium featured a range of activities, including two invited talks, paper presentations, poster presentations, panels, and workshops. Several main themes of discussion at the symposium included the introduction of AI concepts in early courses, active learning, and massive open online courses (MOOCs) and flipped classrooms. With the emergence of "big data" as a buzzword in the mainstream media, new students are often interested in learning about this area but may not have the math or computing skills to support their interests.
