AI-ALOE - AI Institute for Adult Learning and Online Education

Huge thanks to our partners at AI-ALOE - AI Institute for Adult Learning and Online Education. We had a phenomenal couple of days creating standardized data pipelines that advance research outcomes in AI for the benefit of learners.

Be sure to join us for a session with Peter Shea, discussing a series of learning artifacts developed with the assistance of artificial intelligence. Shea will discuss how these products were developed and the future of AI in collegiate-level work. 📅 Date: October 30, 2024 ⏰ Time: 12:00 pm EDT 🔗 Register: tinyurl.com/aialoeWebinar Seize this opportunity to help shape the future of AI-driven education and its transformative impact on learning experiences! #AIinEducation #EdTech #LearningScience #EducationalInnovation

Neil T. Heffernan, William Smith Dean's Professor of Computer Science and Director of the Learning Sciences & Technology program at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and co-founder of ASSISTments, led a presentation at today’s AI-ALOE - AI Institute for Adult Learning and Online Education webinar. PhD students Sami Baral and Eamon Worden presented their findings using large language models for solving both open-ended and close-ended questions. Their research included experiments gauging the ability of LLMs to recognize handwritten images.  

Join Us for AI and Instructional Design Outreach Workshop on Friday, Nov. 15, 2024 from 1-4 pm! Are you an instructional designer passionate about leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance teaching and learning? We invite you to participate in this virtual outreach workshop on AI and Instructional Design. During the workshop, researchers and scientists from our institute will showcase the latest AI technologies designed at AI-ALOE to transform education and share how these innovations have been implemented in real-classroom settings. You’ll have the opportunity to join discussions and share your ideas on how these technologies could be effectively integrated into teaching and learning. As AI technologies revolutionize education, instructional designers play a critical role in guiding their integration into learning environments. Your expertise ensures that these tools align with evidence-based pedagogy and data-driven best practices. This workshop is part of our initiative to foster collaboration and establish an Instructional Designer Fellowship Program, aimed to bridge AI research and application in education. Don’t miss this chance to be part of a movement that shapes how AI transforms educational experiences!

Join us for a session with Neil T. Heffernan, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, discussing innovative applications of large language models (LLMs) within the ASSISTments platform, including: using LLMs to score and give feedback when students answer open-ended questions and enabling students a chance to resubmit their explanations; using LLMs to engage students with tutoring dialogue when answering closed-ended questions; running experiments using teacher-created contents vs. GPT-created content. 📅 Date: October 23, 2024 ⏰ Time: 12:00 pm EDT 🔗 Register: tinyurl.com/aialoeWebinar This is a must-attend for anyone interested in the transformative power of AI in education. #AIinEducation #EdTech #MathEducation #LLMs #AI #LearningScience #EducationalInnovation

Please join us on Saturday October 19th at 12 pm EDT to learn about the National AI Institute ENGAGE-AI. This Institute conducts research on narrative-centered learning technologies, collaborative narrative-centered learning, and multimodal analysis of engaged learning to create deeply compelling story-based learning experiences. Woven throughout the Institute’s activities is a strong focus on ethics, with an emphasis on creating AI-augmented learning that is deeply informed by considerations of fairness, accountability, transparency, trust, and privacy. #silverliningforlearning #educationalAI #studentengagement #narrativecenteredlearning #studentcollaboration #multimodelanalysis https://lnkd.in/eDedTBsw

The AI-ALOE team were participating the AI Institutes Expo Day today, sharing with visitors how we develop and implement responsible AI to transform education and exploring collaboration opportunities. We enjoyed conversations with many visitors. We wanted to thank AI Institutes Virtual Organization (AIVO) for organizing and facilitating #SAIL2024 and the Expo Day, two wonderful events that brought all AI institutes together and connected us with the public as well.

That’s a wrap! Four days of intense dialogue and networking around #AI strategies in #education, science and farming. Great lessons learned and future forward ideas to take back with me! Thanks to our Georgia Institute of Technology colleagues for their collaboration and leadership!

The AI-ALOE team members continued to engage in SAIL on Day 3! In the morning, Aileen Reid, Ph.D., Assistant Director for Program Evaluation, was on a panel discussing broadening participation in computing & AI. Michael Hoffmann, Assistant Director for Responsible AI, was on a panel engaged the audience in the discussion on ethics & trustworthy AI. In the afternoon, Chris Dede, Associate Director for Research, was on a panel exploring strategies for institute sustainability, which wrapped the day full of thoughtful and insightful discussions and shared learning. We look forward to seeing you at the Expo Day tomorrow if you are in the area!
