Drive Continuous Learning: AI Integrates Work & Training — from learningguild.com by George Hanshaw
Imagine with me for a moment: Training is no longer confined to scheduled sessions in a classroom, an online module or even a microlearning you click to activate during your workflow. Imagine training being delivered because the system senses what you are doing and provides instructions and job aids without you having to take an action.
The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) and wearable technology has made it easier than ever to seamlessly integrate learning directly into the workflow. Smart glasses, earpieces, and other advanced devices are redefining how employees gain knowledge and skills by delivering microlearning moments precisely when and where they are needed.
AI plays a crucial role in this transformation by sensing the optimal moment to deliver the training through augmented reality (AR).
These Schools Are Banding Together to Make Better Use of AI in Education — from edsurge.com by Emily Tate Sullivan
Kennelly and Geraffo are part of a small team at their school in Denver, DSST: College View High School, that is participating in the School Teams AI Collaborative, a year-long pilot initiative in which more than 80 educators from 19 traditional public and charter schools across the country are experimenting with and evaluating AI-enabled instruction to improve teaching and learning.
The goal is for some of AI’s earliest adopters in education to band together, share ideas and eventually help lead the way on what they and their colleagues around the U.S. could do with the emerging technology.
“Pretty early on we thought it was going to be a massive failure,” says Kennelly of last semester’s project. “But it became a huge hit. Students loved it. They were like, ‘I ran to second period to build this thing.’”
Transactional vs. Conversational Visions of Generative AI in Teaching — from elmartinsen.substack.com by Eric Lars Martinsen
AI as a Printer, or AI as a Thought Partner
As writing instructors, we have a choice in how we frame AI for our students. I invite you to:
- Experiment with AI as a conversation partner yourself before introducing it to students
- Design assignments that leverage AI’s strengths as a thought partner rather than trying to “AI-proof” your existing assignments
- Explicitly teach students how to engage in productive dialogue with AI—how to ask good questions, challenge AI’s assumptions, and use it to refine rather than replace their thinking
- Share your experiences, both positive and negative, with colleagues to build our collective understanding of effective AI integration
