Artificial Intelligence (AI) Tools

This book explores the technologies that can be used in curricula to make education “smarter” and more adaptive in order to better meet the needs of today’s learners. The main emphasis is based on the theory and best practices of incorporating emerging technologies into curricula so as to educate learners in the 21st century. It will help educators and stakeholders design and implement curricula that effectively prepare learners for the challenges of tomorrow.

Recent efforts to solve the problems of education--created by neoliberalism in and out of higher education--have centred on the use of technology that promises efficiency, progress tracking, and automation. The editors of this volume argue that using technology in this way reduces learning to a transaction. They ask administrators, instructors, and learning designers to reflect on our relationship with these tools and explore how to cultivate a pedagogy of care in an online environment.

Highlights the broad field of AI applications in education, regarding any type of artificial intelligence that is correlated with education Discusses learning methodologies, intelligent tutoring systems, intelligent student guidance and assessments, intelligent educational chatbots, and artificial tutors Presents the practicality and applicability implications of AI in education Includes new and current research from research centers and higher education universities Offers case studies of AI techniques in educational activities

AI (Artificial Intelligence) is predicted to radically change teaching and learning in both schools and industry causing radical disruption of work. AI can support well-being initiatives and lifelong learning but educational institutions and companies need to take the changing technology into account. Moving towards AI supported by digital tools requires a dramatic shift in the concept of learning, expertise and the businesses built off of it.
