How AI Could Transform Learning—Just Like the Calculator Did 🎓🤖 Remember when calculators changed maths education? No more spending weeks learning how to calculate square roots by hand. Instead, we focused on understanding concepts and applying them. AI could have a similar impact on learning. It’s like a “calculator for words, tokens, and concepts,” freeing up time for deeper exploration and creativity. As AI tools evolve, they’ll take over repetitive tasks and offer personalised learning opportunities, allowing educators and students to spend more time on what truly matters. We’re only at the start of this transformation, but the potential is enormous. 📺 Watch the full discussion to explore how AI could reshape education: https://buff.ly/3UVbW8s #AIinEducation #FutureOfLearning #EdTech #LearningAnalytics #MKAI #PersonalisedLearning

Unlocking Personalised Learning: Are We Really There Yet? 🎓🤖 “What if data could tell educators not just what students are struggling with, but why?” It’s a question we’ve been asking since 1964. Back then, papers confidently predicted that personalised learning would be here within a decade. Yet, much like the promises of nuclear fusion, it always seems to remain just out of reach—a future achievement perpetually “ten years away.” Despite decades of progress in AI and analytics, the promise of truly personalised learning is still more aspiration than reality. While the tools we’ve developed are impressive, the complexities of individual learning needs remind us just how far we still have to go. 📺 Watch the full discussion on the challenges and opportunities of personalised learning: https://buff.ly/3UVbW8s #PersonalisedLearning #AIinEducation #LearningAnalytics #EdTech #MKAI #FutureOfEducation

AI or Human Connection: What’s the Best Way to Support At-Risk Students? 🎓🤖 Some colleges are turning to AI to identify students at risk of dropping out early in the year. While AI can help analyse patterns and sort data into neat categories, it can only go so far. At its core, AI is about putting people into “boxes”—simplifying complex human experiences into data points. But real student support requires something AI can’t provide: human connection. Knowing why a student like “Susie” is struggling often comes down to a conversation, not an algorithm. Life’s complexities don’t fit neatly into datasets, and treating students based on AI predictions alone risks missing the bigger picture. So, is AI helpful here? Perhaps. But let’s remember to keep the human touch at the heart of education. 📺 Explore this nuanced discussion in the full event: https://buff.ly/3UVbW8s #AIinEducation #StudentSupport #EdTech #LearningAnalytics #MKAI #HumanConnection

The Truth About PhDs: Are They Still Worth It in the Age of AI? 🎓🤖 With AI reshaping industries, do we still need lengthy degrees like PhDs? The answer isn’t so straightforward. While PhDs provide unique opportunities to immerse in specialised communities, collaborate with experts, and develop deep expertise, it’s also true that many pursue them under societal pressure, despite being better suited for alternative paths. Rising degree requirements can push people into academic tracks that don’t align with their passions or goals. AI tools may redefine the need for certain degrees, but the value of deep learning, critical thinking, and human connection in academic settings remains unmatched. The question isn’t just “Are PhDs worth it?” but rather, “Are they right for you?” 📺 Watch the full event for nuanced insights: https://buff.ly/3UVbW8s #PhD #HigherEducation #AIandLearning #CareerChoices #MKAI #LifelongLearning

Is AI Smarter Than Humans? Let’s Set the Record Straight 🧠🤖 Is AI really outthinking us? Some say it is, but let’s take a closer look. As one expert puts it, AI is less like a genius and more like “a parrot with a thesaurus.” It’s incredibly good at mimicry—processing vast amounts of data and predicting the next logical response—but that doesn’t make it intelligent in the way humans are. AI’s power lies in its ability to scale, process, and mimic patterns—not in independent thought. So while it’s a groundbreaking tool, it’s no replacement for human ingenuity, creativity, or judgment. 📺 Watch the full event for deeper insights: https://buff.ly/3UVbW8s #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #AIInsights #HumanIntelligence #MKAI #FutureOfAI

Can AI Scale Grading Without Losing Fairness? Insights from Dr. Gerd Kortemeyer 🎓🤖 How can we handle grading for thousands of students while ensuring fairness and meaningful feedback? Dr. Gerd Kortemeyer from ETH Zurich highlights the potential of AI in education to scale grading while supporting concept-based assessments over rote learning. Key takeaways: AI can grade efficiently and flag complex cases for human review. It supports richer, open-ended assessments for better reflection of understanding. Limitations remain in subjective areas like essay grading, where human judgment is essential. 📺 Watch the presentation to explore how AI can transform grading: Full Event Video #AIinEducation #LearningAnalytics #EdTech #GradingAtScale #MKAI

Integrating AI in Education: Efficiency or Transformation? 🎓🤖 Can AI simply slot into existing educational practices, or does it demand a deeper rethink of how we teach and learn? In this conversation, Dr Gerd Kotemeyer explores whether current AI tools—automated grading, homework feedback, and chatbots—are merely making traditional processes more efficient or if they represent an opportunity to rethink the fundamentals of education itself. 📺 Watch the full event video for thought-provoking insights: https://buff.ly/3UVbW8s #AIinEducation #FutureOfLearning #EdTech #LearningAnalytics #MKAI #EducationTransformation

How AI is Shaping the Future of Education 🎓🤖 At a recent MKAI event, Dr. Gerd Kortemeyer shared his insights into how AI is being used in education today—and where it might take us tomorrow. From automating grading to exploring the elusive goal of personalised learning, AI is already making classrooms more efficient. But as Dr. Kortemeyer pointed out, the real potential lies in rethinking how we teach and learn, moving beyond efficiency to create richer, more engaging educational experiences. Key highlights from the discussion: - AI can support grading at scale, but fairness and human oversight remain critical. - Personalised learning is still a challenge, with AI often lacking the context humans bring. - Like calculators in maths, AI could free up time for deeper, more meaningful learning. 📺 Dive into the full discussion here: https://lnkd.in/gcARdKfp What do you think—are we ready to rethink education with AI at the centre? #AIinEducation #EdTech #FutureOfLearning #MKAI #LearningAnalytics
