Harvard Graduate School of Education Educationnow "Media Literacy and AI" Uche Amaechi "Faith Rogow, what are your thoughts about when to start engaging with kids, even as young as preschool, with media literacy around AI?" Faith Rogow "As soon as they are verbal...and the reason for that...whether it is AI or not, to really thrive in the digital world...what we need is for everyone to develop certain kinds of habits and routines of inquiry and effective expression...so it's never about whether this is good or bad, it's is this effective for what I need it to do. For the youngest kids, it's really just about helping them develop the habit of recognising what media are in their environment and attaching that so that their brains automatically attach to that, questions. One of the core questions for anybody who is media literate is understanding that all media are constructed. When we explain that to young kids what we say is: people make media, the people who make media make choices about what to include what to exclude...what they include and exclude influences how we understand their work, the messages that we take away...apply that to everything, including AI" Merve Lapus S.

Video "Artificial Intelligence and Education: questions, opportunities, and perspectives" - Online Lecture held at the International Conference "Education & Artificial Intelligence", organised on Saturday, 9th November 2024 by the FACULTY OF PHILOSOPHY - WIDYA MANDIRA CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF KUPANG - My lecture is the second one. I should very much like to thank all the members of the Organising Committee, the Faculty of Philosophy of the Widya Mandira Catholic University of Kupang and the Widya Mandira Catholic University of Kupang for their invitation, their interest, their consideration and their kind appreciation. The development of Artificial Intelligence in different sectors has produced noteworthy changes: for instance, healthcare, financial sectors, and manufacturing have experienced profound changes due to the application of Artificial Intelligence. The education system is no exception in relation to the application of Artificial Intelligence: the sector of education has already experienced changes and will experience changes in the future, due also to the progress which Artificial Intelligence is making year after year. The theme of Artificial Intelligence in education has different aspects. On the one hand, the application of artificial intelligence gives the opportunity of personalised and efficient learning; it gives moreover the opportunity to improve the teaching activity. The chance of an automated assessment of the students is then to be added. Therefore, both the teaching sector and learning sector are interested by the application of Artificial Intelligence. On the other hand, ethical questions are connected to the subject of Artificial Education. Like every profound reform, the application of artificial intelligence in the sphere of education will confront us with a multi-faceted situation in which we shall find, at the same time, advantages and problems. The questions will go on for years and years: learning and teaching will experience profound changes so that the problems connected to the changes will be several. Due to the complexity of the questions connected to Artificial Intelligence, the questions of the application of Artificial Intelligence in the sphere of education ought to be discussed by teachers, parents, and directors of schools, i.e., the complexity of the question cannot be discussed exclusively in one environment: the complexity of the subject asks for analyses which ought to be fulfilled in different sectors. The discussion within the sector of the school is necessary, but not sufficient to investigate all questions connected to the application of Artificial Intelligence in the education of pupils. The discussion and the analysis of the problems connected to Artificial Intelligence ought to be fulfilled within the families of the pupils too.

CREDS member John Vulic, PhD recently published an article about education as a complex system. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/d6Nx5-xE This study employs multi-level agent-based modeling and computational techniques to explore education as a complex system. With an underlying focus that education should be underpinned by a scientific understanding of student learning, we created computational models that simulated learning dynamics in classrooms, integrating both quantitative and qualitative insights. Through these models, we conducted experiments aligned with real classroom data to address key questions, such as “How can we effectively support the academic progress of underperforming students, who are disproportionately from low socio-economic status (SES) backgrounds, to close their multi-year achievement gap in mathematics?” Our study analyzes various instructional approaches for mathematical learning, and our findings highlight the potential effectiveness of Productive Failure as an instructional approach. Considerations of the broader applicability of computational methods in advancing educational research are also provided.

How do we make higher education fit for purpose in an AI world? The brilliant work of Professor Rowena Harper as Deputy Vice Chancellor of Education at Edith Cowan University is at the forefront of a sector adapting to how AI changes our approach to course and assessment integrity. The problems that arise are from systemic issues with our model, as it deals with technology and innovation. This episode of the HEDx podcast sees Rowena join Jason M. Lodge of The University of Queensland and I to dissect how universities can adapt to increase student engagement, embrace technology, and maintain learning and assessment integrity. Many are looking to pioneers like ECU, under Rowena's leadership, to show us the way. Listen for tips of how to get on the front foot with the challenges. And learn how to reach the opportunities with the technology, in commentary and a dialogue on where AI is taking the future of higher education.

A call to academics to participate in a Master's Research Study (Survey) on "The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Academic Identity Construction" I am currently in my 2nd and final year of studying an MBA program at the University of Johannesburg. I am currently researching into the disruption that artificial intelligence has caused to educators to reconsider their academic identities. I am investigating into how their academic identities are being developed given the impact of AI. About the research study: This research is investigating the impact of artificial intelligence on academic identity construction in higher education. To this end, the data that is being collected is with regards to the perceptions around increasing expectations from higher education institutions to implement the use of artificial intelligence in the academic domain, which is in turn influencing the construction of the academic identity of educators. Criteria for participants: You should be in the academic domain with any number of years of working experience. Your current role in academia can be any of the following: i.                   a tutor, ii.                 a lecturer, iii.               a module coordinator, iv.               a program coordinator, v.                 a head of department, vi.               a part of the academic management, vii.              or any other similar role in the field of academia not listed above. **If the above criteria apply to you, you are invited to participate in this research study. Your participation in this research study is truly appreciated! ✨. Please share the post with fellow colleagues who are also in the academia space! #Technology #ArtificialIntelligence #AcademicIdentity Merie Sutherland Please see the link to the survey below:
