Ed-volve or Ed-perish: The Science That Will Deliver the Future

It's not news that the evolution of education technologies and models of transformed learning are moving at the speed of sound. "Machine Learning", (The Economist, July 22-28, 2017) jolted me into the certainty that--regardless of educators' embracing and meaningfully engaging technologies--the ecosystem will successfully evolve without them. This is about using new software to alter how learners and teachers best use their time. It is not about infusing technology into the usual way that schools do business. Artificial intelligence (AI) is helping design new ways of education: specifically, having machines learn about the student by analyzing data unleashed in the learning process.
