🚀 Revolutionizing Education with Artificial Intelligence! 📚✨ Exciting news from UCLA: starting in Winter 2025, students will experience a groundbreaking comparative literature class featuring AI-generated textbooks, assignments, and teaching resources! Developed by Kudu—an innovative platform founded by a UCLA professor—these materials are crafted from the insights of past courses, promising to enhance student engagement and deliver a more consistent learning experience. This leap into AI-driven education not only tailors learning materials to meet diverse student needs but also showcases the incredible potential of artificial intelligence in transforming traditional teaching methods. 🌟 Are you ready to embrace the future of learning? #ArtificialIntelligence #AInews #EdTech #UCLA #InnovationInEducation #FutureOfLearning #AIInEducation #DigitalTransformation #ComparativeLiterature #StudentEngagement #Kudu

As a passionate advocate for lifelong learning, I'm constantly seeking opportunities to stay relevant in this evolving marketing landscape. This drive recently led me to an inspiring experience! I'm incredibly grateful to Pearson for hosting a cutting-edge virtual webinar series on AI in Higher Education, acknowledging the commitment of educators who strive to stay at the forefront of technological innovation, and recognizing my participation and dedication to professional growth. This 5-hour event was a treasure trove of knowledge, covering crucial topics such as: - Emerging AI technologies reshaping the educational sphere - Practical applications of AI in teaching and learning methodologies - Critical ethical considerations for AI implementation in education. For students, this badge demonstrates that their educators are equipped with the latest knowledge to prepare them for an AI-driven world. For industry professionals, it signifies a bridge between academic insights and practical applications of AI in various sectors. By engaging with cutting-edge concepts and technologies, we can better prepare our students for the workforce of tomorrow and help industry professionals leverage AI effectively in their fields. #LifelongLearning #AIinEducation #TechnologicalInnovations #ProfessionalDevelopment #HigherEd

A big week in the city working with Deakin University and VET Development Centre (VDC) on Digital Technologies and AI. On Monday and Tuesday I joined Sunil Aryal, PhD, FHEA and Mehul Warade from the Faculty of Information technology in delivering a two-day intensive as part of the Grad Cert in Digital Technologies, organised by Unit Chair Dr Carly Sawatzki and supported by Julianne Lynch and Maria Vamvakas. The course is designed for current secondary educators who are out-of-field in Digital Tech, with many coming from a Maths/Science/Humanities background. Partnering with the Faculty of Info Tech means that the teacher-students get a healthy dose of real world programming experience. My small role in the two days involved looking at how contemporary tools (GenAI, of course) can play a role in Digital Tech instruction, creating resources, problem solving, and differentiation. Then today I headed down the road to VDC, where I worked with the Fellows in a hands-on workshop covering multimodal generative AI in the context of vocational education for secondary and adult learners. One of the best parts (other than blowing a few minds with what GenAI is already capable of) was that we created a number of immediately useful resources from assessment items through to this very simple (and VDC coloured!) resource collection with the tools we addressed on the day: https://lnkd.in/gAKQt2Mp Time to go home! ✈️ #artificialintelligence #education #qualification #teachers #digital #AI #vocationaleducation #VET

I just finished the Pearson EdTech Symposium on AI, and it so happened that at the same time, I was also completing the two-week Effective Higher Education Teaching Workshop, under the expert guidance of Paul Dölle. Both were packed with insights. I am constantly reminded that for effective teaching, we must start by teaching ourselves first, and this learning should last a lifetime — lifelong learning is part of our jobs. As for AI, it's taking a front seat in education, even though some still try to ban it. I stand for cooperating with AI, as it can deepen the learning process, improve how we set student tasks and foster critical thinking. But at the same time, it demands higher skills and competencies from us as educators. Events like these are exactly what helps us develop those skills effectively.

🎉Congratulations to Anna Villarica (FASoS), Sanne Schreurs (FHML) and Jairaj Gopalakrishnan (FASoS) for winning an EDLAB Education Research Grant for their research proposal "Creative and AI-proof assessments/education design"! 👉🏻Which issue will the project tackle? In today’s education landscape, AI is unavoidable, raising concerns about the authenticity of written work and the potential impact on creativity and critical thinking. Additionally, Boards of Examinors are calling for educational redesigns to address AI-related issues. While some educators are unsure where to begin, others have already introduced innovative, AI-proof teaching methods. What will the project do? This project aims to gather best practice case studies and practical advice into a single toolkit. The toolkit will focus on improving checks and balances, designing creative AI-proof assessments, and fostering AI-inclusive education. Why is this important? The open-access toolkit, based on research and co-creation sessions with staff, will provide valuable resources to help educators navigate AI in education and support effective teaching strategies. #education #teaching #learning #EDLAB

Exciting times in the world of education! The Science of Reading is revolutionizing how we teach literacy, and with the integration of AI, we have the power to take personalized learning to unprecedented levels! As advocates for evidence-based practices, we know that phonics instruction and comprehensive reading strategies lay the foundation for strong reading comprehension. With AI-driven tools at our fingertips, we can analyze student data to create customized reading programs that truly meet individual needs. This not only elevates engagement but significantly boosts student achievement! hashtag #AmiraLearning #Istation #ScienceOfReading #ArtificialIntelligence #EdTech #Literacy #PersonalizedLearning #InnovationInEducation #FutureOfLearning

I had the pleasure of guest lecturing in the "Theories for Inclusive Education" (EDPT7237) module, which is part of the Master in Education (MEd) program at Trinity College Dublin. The session, titled "Ready Teacher One: Using Design Thinking to Tackle Equity and Inclusion Issues in the Era of AI", introduced design thinking as a viable vehicle through which to understand and respond to the needs of teachers and learners in accessing AI tools for quality education. Continued Professional Development (CPD) remains one of the most important goals for ensuring that education systems are responsive to the ever-changing educational landscape. UNESCO's AI Competency framework for teachers offers valuable insights and guidelines for supporting teachers during these challenging times. #CPD #TeacherDevelopment #AI #AIliteracy #designthinking

Today, #TeachAI, an initiative led by Code.org, ETS, ISTE, Khan Academy, and the World Economic Forum, launched Foundational Policy Ideas for AI in Education. See teachai.org/policy. These resources help education leaders and policymakers create the enabling policy conditions for effective and responsible AI in education. They include a set of briefs that cover: ▶ What is AI? ▶ AI in Education and the Workforce ▶ Classroom Perspectives on AI ▶ AI Policy Landscape (US and Global) ▶ Foundational Policy Ideas for AI in Education This was a collaboration among leading policy and education organizations, including AASA, The School Superintendents Association, Council of Chief State School Officers, Consortium for School Networking (CoSN), Consortium of State School Boards Associations, InnovateEDU, Education Commission of the States, ExcelinEd, National Association of State Boards of Education (NASBE), National School Boards Association, National Education Association, SEAMEO Secretariat, and SETDA Special thanks to partners like AFT, UNICEF, and The World Bank.

AI is one of the most significant educational discussion topics these days. Whether you welcome it with an open heart, fear its consequences, or try to find the balance between the two extremes, the newest TeachAI resources will give you plenty of reading and presentation materials to start with. Check them out at https://lnkd.in/g9d6FFi7! And let's not forget: respect to Pat Yongpradit and Pam Vimonmas Vachatimanont for leading this impactful work!
