What Can You Do with Data in Your Classroom?
Course details
Every day, “intelligent” machines are sorting your inbox, recommending music, vacuuming your floor, or teaching you Klingon – and schools are not exempt from their influence. The “intelligence” of these machines is mostly based on data. Can such machines also help us to support our students’ learning?
What kind of artificial intelligence can you already use in education, and why isn’t there more? What do you need to know when dealing with pupils’ data? In other words: what can you do with data in the classroom?
This course will walk you through the latest advances in this field and help you to apply some of them in your lessons.
The course will start on 7 November and conclude on 16 December 2022. The estimated workload is 2-3 hours per week.
