Emerging Interactive Ed. Tech: Classmate Assist and Wayang Outpost – Sensors, AI, and Context Awareness for Learning -and Teaching<\/a><\/strong> — by Lynn Marentette (emphasis below from DSC)<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/strong>I’ve been following developments in intelligent tutoring systems<\/strong> for a while, and find it interesting to see how researchers are combining artificial intelligence, learning theory, affective computing, and sensor networks to create applications that might prove to be useful and effective. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The advantage of using intelligent tutoring applications in some cases is that it provides students with additional support and feedback the moment it is needed,<\/strong> something that is difficult for teachers to provide to students in large classrooms. With the increase in use of smartphones and other mobile devices such as the iPad, there is a good chance that this sort of technology will be used to support learning anywhere, anytime. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Although most intelligent tutoring systems are geared for 1-1 computing, I think there are some components that could be tweaked and then transfered to create intelligent “tutoring” systems for collaborative learning.<\/strong> Students like game-based learning, and what could be more fun than playing AND learning with a partner or group of peers? (I plan to revisit the research in this area in an upcoming post.)<\/p>\n

Below I’ve highlighted two “intelligent” tutoring systems that incorporate the use of sensors in one form or another to generate information about student learning in a way that simulates what good teachers do every day. The ClassroomAssist<\/span><\/strong> application was developed by researchers at Intel, in collaboration with several universities. The Wayang Outpost<\/span><\/strong> application was developed by researchers at UMASS, and is aligned with the principles of Universal Design for Learning.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
