AI is rapidly becoming one of the most important technologies of our era. They’ve enabled the construction of AI algorithms that can be trained with lots and lots of sample inputs, which are subsequently applied to complex problems like language translation, natural language processing, and playing championship-level Go. A detailed explanation of Endor’s platform, including the social physics technologies on which it’s based, can be found in this comprehensive white paper.

Kerr in this recent post , about how research in educational technology could be improved, but I have disagreements around the edges, enough that I think more discussion is warranted. Also, while Kerr is more focused on artificial intelligence in education (AIEd) research, I will address my remarks to learning technology more generally. Here are just a few: - access - it is demonstrably true that educational technology has increased access. Sample Size 4.

Abstract The growth and development of learning analytics has placed a range of new capacities into the hands of educational institutions. The ethics of learning analytics will therefore need to be developed on criteria specific to education. It may be argued that the relation between ethics and law is such that in a treatment of the ethics of learning analytics we ought also to be concerned with the law in relation to learning analytics.

A few recent articles have expressed concerns that big data may be at the peak of inflated expectations in the so-called hype cycle for emerging technologies, and will soon start falling into the trough of disillusionment. This is not uncommon in the early stages of a disruptive technology. The first is what they call n=all, that is, collect and use lots of data rather than settling for small samples, as statisticians have done until now. “The

Over the past few years, the necessary ingredients have finally come together to propel AI beyond the research labs into the marketplace : powerful, inexpensive computer technologies; huge amounts of data; and advanced algorithms. Every day we can read about the latest AI advances from startups and large companies, including applications that not long ago were viewed as the exclusive domain of humans.

Here’s a bit more on the research design and results: We combined data from three sources. Companies that were one standard deviation higher in being data-driven had 4% higher productivity and 6% higher profits than the average in our sample, all else being equal. Haven’t modern tools for analytics and business intelligence transformed how most companies make decisions and sense their environments? Therefore not all firms will be able to exploit technology well.

Since my experience at Red River College, I’ve spent quite a bit of time traveling and speaking about changes in knowledge, learning, teaching, technology, and by extension, the system of education.

The difference is that a cMOOC is designed as a network, as I described above, while an xMOOC is based on a central course site and content that will be followed by all students. The xMOOC has a core content that everyone follows, while the cMOOC has a wide ranging network of content which people browse through and sample according to their own interests.
