Artificial intelligence: changing what, why and how we learn
The edtech entrepreneur and commentator on artificial intelligence, Donald Clark will present at the upcoming Learning Technologies Summer Forum on 12 June in London, demonstrating how AI permeates our lives how its reach will grow.
Donald Clark joins the Learning Technologies Summer Forum 2018 to help learning professionals better understand AI’s impact on learning.
“Artificial intelligence already permeates our lives and in the future its reach will only grow wider and deeper. One undoubted, and profound, area of impact will be learning, but will AI deliver serious change or just be another workplace learning tool?” asks Donald H Taylor, Learning Technologies Summer Forum Conference Chair.
Artificial Intelligence is the new user interface, but it is also an 'idiot savant'. In this wide-ranging and provocative talk, Donald will show how AI is already impacting things across the learning journey - engagement, support, creation, curation, consolidation, assessment and wellbeing. Practical tools and services will be shown.
Donald Clark’s conference session at the Learning Technologies Summer Forum is titled Artificial intelligence: changing what, why and how we learn:
- AI is THE technology of the age
- ...but AI is narrow in its applications
- AI has already impacted learning
- AI will impact the learning journey
- Resistance is futile!
The Learning Technologies Summer Forum takes places at London Olympia on 12 June. The full conference programme is available from the Learning Technologies Summer Forum website, along with how to attend, conference booking information and details about the co-located Learning Technologies Summer Forum exhibition.
