Introduction to Artificial Intelligence --> AI in Practice
Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it. Feel free to post questions and comments too.
In this module, I learned that artificial intelligence can be a powerful ally in virtual education, as it allows for personalized learning, optimizes teachers’ time, and improves feedback for students. I also understood the importance of using AI in an ethical and responsible way.
I plan to apply this knowledge by integrating AI tools into my classes to create more dynamic activities, provide timely feedback, and promote autonomous learning. Additionally, I will guide my students in using these technologies responsibly while encouraging critical thinking.
I'm trying to be open to AI opportunities, but I worry about the obvious positive bias in the lesson. I know AI is big right now, but I worry more about the ethical considerations, the *lack* of legal and regulatory frameworks (the lesson didn't even cite any examples), and the *suggestion* that ethicists and sociologists could help prevent bias - are they really being employed and listened to? I'm grateful that these ideas are even mentioned in the lesson, but ... the idea that AI must "complement, not replace, hands-on learning experience" should not just be a footnote in a case study.
AI can be used to enhance earning in many differnet ways. Firstly it can provide a personalized training scenario/program for the individual learner to focus on their deficinecies or important subjects. It can also be used to create scenario based training, placing the theroetical in a more realistic situation for the learner to respond to. Challenges are unique and will present itself form costs to difficulty in implementation.
This course enlightened me on how important is is to have the student experience the simulation lab on campus.
I could really use the virtual environment to provide my firefighting students with scenarios where outcomes are based on their decision-making capabilities as they deal with a virtual fire scene. It is much safer for them to make bad decisions that they can learn from for life in this type of environment.
I am going to use if more systematically in the future.
I have learned a lot about how to teach students what AI really is and how to use it effectively.
AI is everywhere now...autonomous vehicles, robotic surgeries, analyzing EKG's & X-rays, drones...AI has the ability to be smarter than humans! The people who train machines need to be aware of their own biases to prevent machines from being biased.
As educators we need to teach our students the safe & correct way to use AI.
AI is here for good, and the current labor force will need to learn and adjust to utilizing it for everyday job functions. Bringing it into the college classroom allows the upcoming labor force to be more equipped with the rapidly changing work environment.
The section has some GREAT info., but seriously the content is soooooo far beyond what most of us can comprehend at this point.
AI can be biased based on the initial data input. It is important to use unbiased data sets.
i use AI to make announcements and post
This module confirms the necessity of using AI in the medical field, such as in training nurses with artificial patients.
Currently use AI to create innovative lesson plans
I just used AI to analyze a new quiz that I had created and look for questions that needed revising. It did a very thorough job of the analysis and was able to differentiate between "challenging question but valid" and "misleading or confusing"
I currently use AI for creating assignments. It takes minutes and I have learned to be specific with my needs for the task.
Ensuring that AI contributes positively not only to the classroom however, the society in which we live.
Ai can be used for Quick grammer check spell check clarification on emails and class summaries
I enjoy using AI in my classrooms and also challenging my colleagues to use it in theirs. My students enjoy having the chance to use AI in my room, as we have found it to be a great "second set of eyes" on assignments. I've also found that I have had to get creative in my use of it, which means a lot of outside learning on my part, but I love it.
