We often talk about the need for students to have voice and choice in their learning. We want them to engage in meaningful, productive struggle as they do projects and engage in problem-solving. But where

The global talent gap is long-lamented and continues to grow — in the U.S. alone, there are currently 9.6 million job openings compared to 6.5 million unemployed.
This has many calling for upskilling and re-skilling of existing workforces. However, while many business leaders recognize that need, they are hampered by a lack of time, resources and funds to develop materials on which to train their workers.
This is another area that — like so many others — where generative AI offers transformative promise, according to Cypher Learning. The learning management system provider released a study this week exploring leaders’ challenges with upskilling, their exploration of gen AI in building training materials and the promise the technology holds in repairing the schism between the number of workers and available jobs.
“Generative AI is already transforming employee training,” CYPHER Learning founder and CEO Graham Glass told VentureBeat. “In 2024, the focus will be on reimagining education with AI at its core.”

I love educational technology. When technologies were first available online, I was an early adopter, and often got brutally criticized by administrators and colleagues in my K-6 settings for having students use the internet for research, use web tools, create webpages in wikis, and work virtually with schools in other states and countries (for example, see their work from 2008 at http://weewebwonders.pbworks.com/). Now, similar work is often seen as innovative by colleagues. Boy, have times thankfully changed, but I have not. I still am an early adopter of technologies in that I believe many can benefit students in their learning.
As many in education know, commentary about ChatGPT is appearing on the news, social media, and the internet. As I always do, I am exploring its use in my classes (elementary-level gifted education). This post describes its use in education from the perspectives of ChatGPT, itself, and from a handful of educators. Later, I describe and show the work of my students. I conclude with tools for detecting machine-generated text, and provide a parting shot.

The demographics of AI developers often differ from those of users. For instance, a considerable number of prominent AI companies and the datasets utilized for model training originate from Western nations, thereby reflecting Western perspectives.

Computer scientist and award-winning author Melanie Mitchell has thought a lot about artificial intelligence — how it works in its many forms, how “intelligent” AI really is, how it might impact science and society at large, and what an AI-shaped future may bring. During a recent lecture that she delivered as part of the National Academy of Sciences’ Distinctive Voices program, Mitchell — a professor at the Santa Fe Institute — explored the tumultuous past, confusing present, and uncertain future of AI.

This document is the principal outcome of an ambitious collaborative project between Concordia University and Dawson College to co-construct an artificial intelligence (Al) competency framework that supports the creation of success pipelines for learners from college to university to lifelong learning. The aim is to provide a flexible tool for educators, program developers, recognition of acquired competencies (RAC) coordinators, and other stakeholders engaged with developing curriculum and training programs that address ever-evolving Al talent needs. Growing evidence for an accelerating rate of digital transformation further amplified by the worldwide coronavirus pandemic, motivated us to look toward curriculum frameworks that are general in focus. For this reason, we have clustered AI competencies that may be used in varied higher education contexts along the pipeline for the pressing needs of today while being adaptable and extensible for the future.

Ignoring ChatGPT and its cousins won’t get us anywhere. In fact, these systems reveal issues we too often miss
Via Peter Mellow
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a ubiquitous part of everyday life and work. AI is enabling rapid innovation that is transforming the way work is done and how services are delivered. For example, generative AI tools such as ChatGPT are having a profound impact. Given the many potential and realised benefits for people, organisations and society, investment in AI continues to grow across all sectors, with organizations leveraging AI capabilities to improve predictions, optimise products and services, augment innovation, enhance productivity and efficiency, and lower costs, amongst other beneficial applications. However, the use of AI also poses risks and challenges, raising concerns about whether AI systems (inclusive of data, algorithms and applications) are worthy of trust. These concerns have been fuelled by high profile cases of AI use that were biased, discriminatory, manipulative, unlawful, or violated human rights. Realising the benefits AI offers and the return on investment in these technologies requires maintaining the public’s trust: people need to be confident. AI is being developed and used in a responsible and trustworthy manner. Sustained acceptance and adoption of AI in society are founded on this trust. This research is the first to take a deep dive examination into the public’s trust and attitudes towards the use of AI, and expectations of the management and governance of AI across the globe.

With AI being so prevalent, it is important to use appropriately for students. In doing so, students will find better outcomes during their education. Leveraging technology like AI can help students find more success!
La integración de la IA en el aprendizaje basado en proyectos (ABP) ofrece oportunidades significativas para la co-creación y la resolución de problemas, permitiendo a los estudiantes tener una mayor voz y elección en sus proyectos. Sin embargo, la cuestión de la integridad académica se vuelve crucial en este contexto. Promover la integridad académica en la era de la IA generativa requiere enfoques que incluyan la educación sobre el uso ético de estas herramientas, la implementación de políticas claras sobre el plagio y la atribución, y el diseño de tareas que fomenten el pensamiento crítico y la originalidad. Así, se puede aprovechar el potencial de la IA sin comprometer los valores académicos fundamentales.
