AI Seminar: AI in a Personalized Learning Environment

Friday, July 7, 2017 11:00 am - 11:00 am EDT (GMT -04:00)

Speaker: Bowen Hui, University of British Columbia, Okanagan Campus

There has been much discussion on transforming the learning environment for higher education institutions from the perspective of educators. In this talk, I will outline what students report as their priorities in a personalized learning environment. In the context of an overarching learning management system, I will describe some of the work that utilizes technology to investigate pedagogical questions. These projects include Concept Navigator, KRIT (Krichoffs rules intelligent tutor), BALLY (Better at linked lists, yay!), and Course Canvas.
