AI in Education Overview

The demand for Artificial Intelligence (AI) programs and courses is rising due to the growing popularity of AI and its applications.

Using AI techniques within an AI education program to enhance learning.

The use of AI tutoring agents within an online course to provide personalized guidance.

The growing need to develop scalable solutions for AI education to cater to a large number of learners.

Evaluating the effectiveness of AI education methods, including online learning and AI-powered tools.

The misconception is that online courses are like traditional classrooms, where the main learning happens through live lectures. However, online courses often use video lessons as pre-recorded material and focus on interactive elements like discussion forums for actual learning.

Discussion forums are the online equivalent of traditional classrooms. They are the space where students actively engage, ask questions, collaborate, and receive support from instructors.

The asynchronous nature of forums means conversations can happen at any time, allowing students to engage whenever it suits them. The persistent nature means the discussions are saved and can be revisited later, providing valuable documentation for future reference.

The discussion forum allows for self-documentation as students' questions, answers, and discussions are automatically recorded, offering a valuable learning resource. This differs from traditional classroom discussions, which are ephemeral and can be easily forgotten.

The online learning experience can be more engaging and effective than traditional classrooms due to the interactive nature of discussion forums, the flexibility of asynchronous learning, and the accessibility of learning materials.

A combination of video lectures and online forum discussions designed to mirror the in-person learning experience.

A method for evaluating the efficacy of the virtual KBAI course, comparing student assessment performance in both online and traditional classroom settings.

The objective of the KBAI course’s evaluation: to ensure that students learning online achieve comparable outcomes to those studying in person.

A period of intensive development, involving a dedicated team and significant time commitment, focused on creating engaging video lectures for the online course.
