AI for Learning

<p>Futurist David Shrier, Managing Director and co-founder of Esme Learning Solutions. and Associate Fellow at Oxford University, interviewed by futurist Trond Arne Undheim. </p> <p>In this conversation, they talk about what’s next in digital learning innovation. We discuss the challenge of bringing cognitive science to online learning. We explore the effects of real-time feedback on social learning metrics. How to develop critical thinking? How to use AI to solve problems in the world, and how to scale it beyond elite institutions. We explore a future where online learning might be even better than campus learning.</p> <p>The takeaway is that AI already is becoming an integral learning tool. Startups are increasingly using advanced analytics to transform the learning process with instant, quantifiable feedback. At the same time, AI does have the potential for harm, even on learning outcomes. We need to do it right. We need to make sure AI is used to better learning experiences for all students, not just the elite. </p> <p>After listening to the episode, check out Esme Learning Solutions as well as David Shrier's social media profile:</p> <ul><li>Esme Learning Solutions https://esmelearning.com/</li> <li>Saïd Business School https://www.sbs.ox.ac.uk/</li> <li>David Shrier (@DavidShrier) <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-shrier/'>https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-shrier/</a> </li> </ul> <p>The show is hosted by <a href='https://www.podbean.com/'>Podbean</a> and can be found at <a href='https://www.futurized.co/'>Futurized.co</a>.
