Looking forward to seeing you at école de technologie supérieure (ÉTS) on June 1 & 2!

Today, our panel on emerging technologies in education, shared their perspectives on the exciting advancements in this field. Coming from a range of fields with diverse expertise, Preeti Raman, Remi Arora, Joel Wieber, Joel Trudeau, Teresa Hernández González, Marco Luna, and Korah Wiley challenged the current landscape of technology implemented in educational settings.

Their insights were impactful and inspiring, offering a window into their fields and perspectives on the exciting innovations in education. We are excited to see what they will produce next!

Yesterday, Prof. Cukurova delivered the SALTISE 2024 keynote speech, “Interplay of Learning, Analytics, and Artificial Intelligence in Education.”

His talk offered a comprehensive view of AI’s role in education, emphasizing its interplay with cognitive processes. He challenged the narrow view of AI as mere tools, highlighting its diversity and potential to enhance human learning. The talk revisits early AI research, advocating for a renewed connection between AI and human intelligence.

Three key AI concepts in education are explored: externalizing cognition, internalizing AI models to influence thought processes, and extending human cognition through integrated AI systems. Prof. Cukurova called for a balanced perspective, recognizing AI’s limitations and advocating for systems that support human agency and enhance, rather than replace, human cognition. The presentation concluded with a call for broader education about AI and innovation in educational systems to stay relevant in an AI-driven world.
