"Employees engage when learning feels relevant to the work they need to perform." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

sco.ltGamification Works, Just Not The Way Most Courses Use ItA meta-analysis of gamified learning finds real but small effects, and shows which design choices make the difference. What that means for points, badges and leaderboards in your course.

"Gamification...works better when it rewards learning instead of clicking, when it has a story, and when people play together." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

sco.ltAI Isn’t the Problem. We Are. Being a student should be about more than completing assignments. Much ink has been spilled over how to respond to artificial intelligence use in education. Harvard College Dean David J. Deming frames cheating with AI as a “temptation”; students know it’s wrong, but we just can’t help ourselves — so assignments have to be restructured to make cheating impossible. We think this framing is mistaken. Instead, we should consider AI misuse to stem from the failure to cultivate curiosity in students."

"AI made every task faster for UX practitioners: respondents rated its effect on task time at 4.2 out of 5, where 5 means 'much shorter.' Yet when asked how they felt about AI at work, the average was only 3.57 out of 5, which is barely positive" #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

sco.ltIs there a right age for AI in education? Deciding whether AI is age-appropriate and why"In schools around the world, AI is increasingly embedded in education technology to facilitate administration, teaching, learning and assessment. Curricula that promote the development of children’s AI knowledge, skills and/or values may be taught in a number of ways: as a required or elective subject; as part of information and communication technology (ICT)/information technology (IT) teaching; or as a cross-curricular or extra-curricular activity (UNESCO, 2022). None of this is inevitable nor universal."

"An age-appropriate approach to educational technology typically relies on the idea of ‘ages and stages’ of child development. However, developmental science no longer conceives of fixed developmental milestones." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

sco.ltThe top 5 things higher education students want from online learning"Online learning has become increasingly popular in recent years, and students have a lot to say about what they want from their online courses. A recent survey by McKinsey found that students want flexibility, social interaction, high-quality content, support, and value for money from online learning."

"[S]tudents globally cited these top-three reasons: fear of becoming more distracted by studying online, getting bored if the learning experience is not motivating, and lacking discipline to complete the online program." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning

sco.ltEducators weighing a 'digital detox' for schools, mindful of overseas trialsA swing from digital to analogue learning is happening overseas, but student performance is yet to improve on at least one international measure.

sco.ltAI in Teaching: What the Science of Learning Already Tells UsExplore how the science of learning can guide AI in teaching and higher education, helping instructors support student learning with evidence-based strategies.

"When AI is used to scaffold learning by prompting students to explain their reasoning, offering feedback on drafts that students must then revise, or modeling problem-solving strategies, it can align well with what we know about effective learning." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #AIEdu

sco.ltYou Still Should Go To College In The Age Of AI. Here’s Why."Rapid advancements in artificial intelligence have raised uncertainty about jobs and the value of college. According to the Pew Research Center, young adults increasingly worry about AI taking jobs. No job is entirely AI-proof, creating a need for education and training that emphasizes human skills and adaptability. For college to remain valuable, it must become more affordable and quickly pivot to prepare people for technology-integrated jobs. Higher education must cultivate durable skills, such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and interpersonal communication, alongside specific subject skills to help workers succeed alongside machines."

"For college to be worth it in the future of AI, it must not render itself obsolete. For starters, it can’t be so expensive that the value proposition swings wildly out of reach." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

sco.ltHow Artificial Intelligence Can Help With Critical ThinkingResearch finds that when knowledge workers intentionally use AI to challenge their ideas, they can improve their performance.

sco.ltHuman attention is the new old bottleneck. We have to design for it even more."Agents at Anthropic now log six hours for every human hour, and reading their output would eat half a week. The job is to create judgement systems for what deserves attention."

"One Anthropic engineer compared managing agents to babysitting. A child who needs a juice box opened and a child with a cut finger both arrive at full volume, and so do the agents." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

sco.ltOpinion: A Degree Should Prove More Than the Ability to Produce an AnswerThe implementation of AI should not preclude universities from imparting skills that last a lifetime, including the ability to think critically, defend a conclusion and recognize when it is time to learn something new.

"Industries will change, technology will change and jobs will change. What can endure is the ability to think critically, exercise judgment, recognize gaps in one’s knowledge and determine how to close them." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

sco.ltWhat Educational AI Should Refuse To DoEducational AI should be evaluated not only by what it can do, but by what it is designed not to do for the student.

nettricegaskins.medium.comFuturism in The Age of AI: From 1913 to the Present"uturism was an early 20th-century avant-garde artistic and social movement that originated in Italy, celebrating the speed, machinery, technology, and dynamic energy of modern life while violently rejecting traditional art and history. It launched on February 20, 1909, when Italian poet Filippo Tommaso Marinetti published the Manifesto of Futurism on the front page of the Paris newspaper Le Figaro. The core goal was to liberate Italy from the heavy weight of its classical past, glorifying industrial cities, automobiles, and airplanes over museums and libraries. The movement’s alignment with Italian Fascism led to its decline."

forbes.comAI In Education Is Forcing Schools To Explain Why Learning Matters"OpenAI recently brought ChatGPT for Teachers to 55 more school systems, giving over 100,000 educators access. Leah Belsky, OpenAI’s vice president of education, warns that AI risks enfeebling the next generation without proper implementation. Data shows that students with stronger prior knowledge and curiosity benefit the most from AI tools. To combat this stratification, educators must cultivate student purpose and shift away from simply grading finished products. Instead, schools are exploring live demonstrations and AI-driven analysis of student interactions to evaluate the learning process. Ultimately, technology cannot replace human motivation, leaving teachers responsible for inspiring curiosity."
