Fall is back-to-school time for many students in the Northern Hemisphere (including my own kids!). With students back in class, here’s a look at how innovative #GenerativeAI tools are supporting their learning journey. From elementary school to higher education, AI is not just a tool — it’s a partner in learning and offers personalized support to students. Students are using AI-enabled learning accelerators like Reading Coach to practice reading, speaking, and language skills. AI-enabled educational bots built on Microsoft #Azure #OpenAI Service are also gaining popularity in classrooms and campuses around the world. Check out the blog below to learn more about how students and educators say AI is transforming the learning experience and making a difference in global education. https://lnkd.in/gPE7EwdK #msftadvocate #microsofteducation #artificialintelligence #AI Microsoft Education

Join us for a webinar on May 23rd to explore the possibilities! #GoogleForEducation #AIinEducation #FutureofLearning

I recently came across a fascinating blog on Microsoft's news platform that highlights how students are harnessing the power of AI to redefine their learning experiences. The post, "Smart Ways Students Are Using AI," is a compelling showcase of innovation at the intersection of education and technology. Key takeaway? AI isn't just about the future—it's actively reshaping the present. Students are using AI-driven tools to personalize learning, streamline research, and even co-create content, demonstrating a remarkable blend of creativity and technical acumen. For instance, AI is being utilized to generate study resources tailored to individual learning styles, making education more accessible and effective. But what truly stands out is the empowerment this technology offers. By automating repetitive tasks and providing deeper insights into complex subjects, AI allows students to focus on critical thinking and problem-solving—skills that are invaluable in today's fast-paced world. It's a perfect example of technology enhancing human potential, not replacing it. From my perspective as an Data Scientist, this evolution is more than just impressive; it’s necessary. As AI continues to advance, it’s crucial that we support and encourage its ethical and effective use in education. The next generation isn’t just learning from AI; they’re shaping it—and that’s something worth celebrating. 🎉 Kudos to the students leading the way and to the educators fostering this environment of innovation. The future of learning is here, and it’s AI-powered! https://lnkd.in/gJ8Ujb-u #AI #Education #Innovation #FutureofLearning #EdTech

🌟 Exciting News! 🌟 I am thrilled to share that our paper, "On the Power of Interactive Proofs for Learning" has been published and presented at STOC 2024 last week! 📝🔬 In simple terms, our research focuses on making machine learning verification faster and more efficient. Here's a quick overview: 🔹 Verification of Learning: We introduce a method to quickly check if a machine learning program has learned correctly, without needing to retrain it from scratch. 🔹 Efficient Checking: Think of it like a "cheat sheet" that allows for rapid verification. 🔹 Interactive Questioning: Similar to a teacher asking a student questions, our method involves a back-and-forth process to prove correct learning. 🔹 Focus on Patterns: We specifically look at how to efficiently learn and verify important patterns in data, which are crucial for making accurate decisions. 🔹 Saving Time and Resources: Our approach aims to make machine learning verification more efficient, using less computational power and data. 🔹 Building Trust: By quickly verifying learning, we can trust AI decisions more, which is essential as AI is used in more critical applications. In technical terms, we develop new protocols for verifying learning algorithms, focusing on heavy Fourier characters and introducing doubly-efficient proof systems. Our work provides general tools for PAC-verification and explores the computational complexity of these tasks. These results have significant implications for both theoretical computer science and machine learning, contributing to more reliable and trustworthy AI systems. This research was part of my master's studies at SFU, where I had the privilege of working under the guidance of my supervisor, Igor Shinkar. I am immensely grateful for his support and invaluable insights throughout this journey. I would also like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to my co-authors and everyone who supported us along the way. I am truly grateful to be a part of such a dedicated and talented team. 🙏 🙏 You can read the full paper here:

👩💻 First module of the AI for educators learning path with Microsoft Learn complete: 'Empower educators to explore the potential of artificial intelligence'. The opportunities were neatly summed-up in an infographic with the headings I've copied below and some use cases I've already tried and had success in: 🍎 Accelerate learning - using image generators to conclude a topic on 'Journey's End'. After a brief lesson in prompt engineering, students had to build a character profile using relevant quotations to support and capture the image produced. 🍎 Inclusively designed - Reading Coach for lower ability Year 9: a great way for students to practise privately and rehearse tricky words 🍎 Improve efficiency - a godsend in creating MCQs to copy into a Microsoft Quiz and get build data on a student's performance through Teams 🍎 Prepare learners for the future - promoting responsible use with in-class trials using chatbots and getting a lie of the land with proficiency levels Next module is swiftly underway: 'Enhance teaching and learning with Microsoft Copilot'

I was part of the team at Microsoft that helped transition students to online learning during the pandemic. 🎒 If there’s one thing I learned from that is there are some serious vulnerabilities in the current education system. If students could learn and go to school online, why couldn’t they use Generative AI (and other digital tools for that matter) to enhance their education? Some fear that students will use AI to “cheat” The truth is some probably will. But that doesn’t mean we need to be afraid of AI. Students can use these tools to deepen their understanding of complex topics and enhance their problem solving skills. Yes — AI can come up with some really cool and unique ideas. But it’s up to the student to understand it, refine it, and further use the tool to expand these ideas. Just like a hammer is a really great tool to build a house. 🔨 It still needs the hand of a skilled carpenter to use it.

I am wondering what people are using these days for virtual learning classes, PD, and interactions for engagement. I have my tried and true methods, but always want to keep learning. I am running a 90 minute session for educators on AI. I have 3 30 minute mini learning labs so they can opt in or out based on interest and application. I will be streaming from my device to their school. They are all in one place looking at a projector, but will have their devices. We have all been in these situations and even if content is good this is not ideal learning to be in this type of environment. To increase engagement, sharing of ideas, and gather participation insights, ideas, etc. throughout what are you using that you have found helpful? To have them walk up to camera will lead to little interaction. They also won't come up to main computer and type comments. I need other ideas and curious what people are using that they have found to be worth the time.
