Dr Kobi Gal, University of Edinburgh 'Keeping the Teacher in the Loop: AI technologies for supporting exploratory learning environments'
Tuesday 5th Feb, 12-1.30pm Godfrey Thomson Hall
Abstract
The proliferation of educational software provides new opportunities for using computational methods to support students in their learning and teachers and researchers in their understanding of how students learn. This talk will identify several research problems within this context and present some initial solutions that synthesise approaches from artificial intelligence, HCI and data mining. I will present work on for making sense of students’ activities using open-ended and exploratory educational software; methods for visualising these activities to teachers as well as other students; and tools for supporting group learning in the classroom using machine learning.
