Demystifying Artificial Intelligence In Learning

"Artificial intelligence is not just the next step in innovative learning," says Rose Luckin, a self-described learning scientist at University College London. "This technology can identify emotional states of students as well as their meta-cognitive states," she says, "and tailor learning accordingly." Previous forms of technology fell far short of this kind of capability. Rose recently co-authored a paper titled "Intelligence Unleashed: An argument for AI in Education.") Rose says artificial intelligence in education, also called AIed, can also further facilitate deeper collaboration between learners--and help teachers differentiate their instruction in order to meet every learner's needs.
