In late 2022, the emergence of generative AI (#GenAI) created huge disruptions in all walks of life, including education and training. Suddenly every learner with Internet access also had access to AI tools, a shift that had an impact on both instructors and the universities in which they worked. For example, AI has the potential to change the way in which assessmentpractices are conducted in universities, and many teachers had to rethink their entire approach to assessment. The initial reaction from many universities was to put restrictions on the use of AI for teaching and learning, while others started providing guidance on how best to use it and what not to use it for, especially in teaching and research. UNESCO published some guidelines on the ethical use of AI in teachingand learning to help governments address the issues associated with using it. Some of recommendations are: #1.Institutions should aim to recognise and critically assess the potential for the use of AI in teaching and learning. #2. Educational institutions in the Commonwealth must develop policies for the appropriate use of AI. They may need support in terms of expertise and know-how in the use of AI technology as well as in policy development. #3. Staff training at educational institutions should be a top priority to ensure the ethical use of AI in teaching and learning. Suchopportunities training must be institution-wide to help all stakeholders understand the basic principles of AI and ensure the appropriate use of AI. #4. Educational institutions must create training opportunities for learners to learn how to use AI effectively in their learning process. #5. Educational institutions in the Commonwealth should form a network where they can discuss the topic of AI in learning and teaching,collaborate on developing strategies and best practices and create continuous professional development opportunities. #learninglane #AI #Education #Highereducation #learning

I always look forward to Miao's posts and new #UNESCO documents on AI and #Education, and this one really struck home. It brings up an ongoing debate between some #AI developers or edtech companies and educators: teachers should not be replaced, they should be supported. Sure, for remotely based students or outliers like Gifted students who want to learn independently, AI opens up a whole new world of learning, and we love it for that. But we should never be looking to replace the #teacher. The Human Element in #schools is vital to the #future of learning.

Very interesting and helpful to understand AI pitfalls for education and students guiding principles for AI competencies.

Crucial reminders of five AI pitfalls for education and their correspondent 5 AI competencies. Thank you Fengchun Miao

The WISE 11 Summit unveiled some thought-provoking insights on "Creative Fluency: Human Flourishing in the Age of Artificial Intelligence". As someone deeply invested in the mission of Texas International Education Consortium (TIEC) to harness technology in transforming education, the discussions around ethical AI, personalized learning, and fostering AI literacy have sparked a profound reflection on the path forward. Ethical AI in Classrooms: Beyond just a tool, how can AI preserve the human essence of teaching and learning? Personalized Learning through AI: Accessibility and inclusivity seem promising, but what are the boundaries? Boosting AI Literacy: As the digital divide narrows, how do we ensure everyone keeps pace? In embracing AI, how do we keep our educational values intact and ensure technology serves to enhance human potential, not overshadow it? https://lnkd.in/gE46cDWE #WISE11 #AIInEducation #FutureOfLearning #TIEC #EducationForAll

AI Competency Framework for Teachers UNESCO's recent AI competency framework for teachers is essential reading for educators, particularly for understanding both the effective and ineffective uses of AI in education. In the last 4 years, AI has changed the education field drastically. It has transformed the traditional teacher-student relationship into a teacher AI-student relationship. Grounded in principles that safeguard teachers' rights, enhance human agency, and promote sustainability, the publication identifies 15 key competencies spread across five areas: - Human-Centered Mindset - Ethics of AI - Foundations and Applications of AI - AI Pedagogy - AI for Professional Development These competencies are organized into three levels of progression: - Acquire - Deepen - Create Did you know: By 2022, only 7 countries had developed AI frameworks or programmes for teachers?
