From Day 1 (July 13th, 2021) of the mediaX Conference, Building Reciprocity: Curiosity and Learning in Humans and Machines, Derek Li, Founder & Chief Education Technology Scientist, Squirrel Ai Learning examines...
Contextual and Intelligent Educational Experience as seen on Squirrel Ai’s Adaptive Platform is a paradigm shift from the traditional, rigid and inefficient factory model of education. It provides the most practical and economical solution to overcome the equity and access obstacles for disadvantaged learners. This takes a community effort to achieve.
The Reciprocity between Ai and humans can be achieved through the co-teach and co-learn models, where AI, human learner, and human teacher/coach form the dynamic, meaningful, and productive triangle.
Ai combined with multimodal perception/interaction, along with the learning science and pedagogical innovation such as Squirrel Ai’s MCM® framework can go beyond traditional teaching/learning of textbook knowledge to empower the life-long learning of competencies required for future careers.
