Automated Tools to Autonomous Agents: Affordances and Limitations to AI for Learning
Description
Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming education, both for good and for not-so-good. The advances are now coming so quickly that it can be difficult to tell the difference. In this presentation, we'll explore the alignment of the affordances that AI can currently provide with the goals, purpose, and processes of education, focusing on four key use cases: learning content generation and support including clinical simulation, automated student feedback and assessment, agentic instruction and tutoring, and agentic personal development. We’ll also explore what specific steps you can take to begin using AI tools effectively within each domain, as well as a projection of how these applications are likely to evolve in the coming years.
