Qatar Computing Research Institute is leveraging artificial intelligence and machine learning for progressive education at Hamad Bin Khalifa University.
This is nice article from HBKU newsletter that describes efforts, such as Survey2Persona, to leverage machine learning for the progressive education area.
Some quotes from the article!
“AI and ML are tools for helping educational organizations achieve progressive education goals. These tools include adaptive learning systems, virtual reality, augmented reality, and gamification,” said Dr. Jim Jansen, a Principal Scientist at Qatar Computing Research Institute (QCRI), part of Hamad Bin Khalifa University (HBKU).
“You can already see these AI systems gaining ground and having a positive effect in the education sector,” he said, where AI is impacting progressive education by providing greater levels of individualized and personalized learning for students.
“Survey2Persona is an AI and ML technologies-based tool. It transforms survey data into actionable insights without requiring knowledge of statistics from the user,” stated Soon-gyo Jung, Software Engineer, QCRI, who is responsible for the system’s development.
“These online communities are instrumental to progressive education and a new way of learning that is less dependent on textbooks and more dependent on living and developing educational materials, such as computational notebooks,” said Joni Salminen, a Scientist at QCRI.
