For this project, Nia and I were interested in the expanding use of artificial intelligence (AI) when it comes to education, especially for students negotiating the reality of open and distributed learning. We decided to investigate the following topic, on AI-based learning tools and if they adapt better to individuals needs rather than traditional roles. With AI technologies like ChatGPT, Duolingo, and Khan Academy becoming increasingly popular in both official and informal learning settings, we wanted to investigate how well these platforms actually support student success, particularly in asynchronous self-paced learning. We also, want to consider how they affect our academic development and motivation.
This topic was appealing to us because it connects a few different fields together, such as education, psychology and technology. Researchers are aware that modifying information delivery to each students pace and learning preferences, AI learning holds a promise for closing learning gaps (Luckin et al., 2016) However, with that potential raises some questions, like are these resources available or fair? Do they promote or obstruct meaningful interaction? Or maybe what occurs when technology motivates us? Overall, there are lots of things to keep in mind when it comes to AI in the learning environment, and we will dive more into that with questions, research, and reflections.
The structure of our Free Inquiry Project is solely based around weekly blogs that demonstrate our learning process. A different area of AI in education will be covered each week, which includes tool testing, research, our reflections, and considerations that are ethical. For our learning approach, we will combine our work with open educational resources and AI techniques. Our blog posts will consist of our reflections, links, videos or photos, which will be used to document or progress or
