Could AI Replace Student Testing?

Rose Luckin idea of Artificial Intelligence I find to be very clever and interesting. It can be useful to matching the needs of the individual and affiant. There is just a lot of questions surrounding her idea, if this programme was to hit schools would it be expensive or affordable? Can the actual tool be adaptable to many subjects because it does seem limited to the one she is developing which could be Maths or Science however could it work for History or English? Conversely something this grand has not yet hit the market so hopefully she does successfully match the learning levels of the individuals because there is a gap for an e-learning tool like this. A article supports her ideas by stating ‘Fixing Education for the AI Era’ (Bella, 2017).

MOBILE LEARNING BASICS

This article informs us about mobile learning they intel that e-learning is different from mobile learning as eLearning is a technology based phenomenon. Mobile learning to the authors is described as simple and direct. The idea may have came for the evolution of computers and audio to soon develop mobile learning. The advantages is very straight forward, mobile learning can be accessible anywhere however it still hold the same limitations a computer if the device loses connection than stops the learning. One of my concerns if can this idea really be developed in schools? Most schools frown a pun mobile phone maybe in a really high advanced technology schools/academy can accommodate to mobile learning (Hartnell-Young & Heym, 2008). (Hartnell-Young & Heym, 2008) actually agrees with the article and suggest more ways how mobile learning can be benefit education practice today.

The really useful eLearning instruction manual: your toolkit for putting into practice.

This chapter talks about blended learning. The article starts by giving definitions of the term and as your read you get a sense of it. To my understanding programs such as Padlet the tool I will be using for my online forum consist of blended learning. He described that the user gains the ability to interact with users all around the world, have discussions about the content and reflect on their learning experience. Blended learner combine aspects to allow the individual to explore in rangers that is not limited. They can learn about others as well as themselves and it links perfectly to what kind of e-leaning activity I am trying to make. The term is explained as a journey, so the user will find their learning leading to different paths. Gathers methods seems simpler to Gilly Salmons stage where she includes a facilitator to guide viewer on their learning journey (Salmon, 2004). Hubbard really made his massage clear and supported me with better understanding to my own project.

Developing high-level cognitive skills in e-learning /

Otero, Petch and Catapan (2012)decibels developing high level cognitive skills via e-learning in higher education. They say studies should apply existing knowledge to solve problems, but use it in a new way. Reading the article it seems to link in with Rose Lukin of self-assessment via tech of working independently to your own needs (Byrne, 2017). P.14 describes reflection to be an inclusive process to high level cognitive skills and I can relate to this as in this project the blog supports me to look back and reflect on my experience hence building my learning in a cognitive capacity. This article language was a little hard to follow, it was not simplified so maybe this can create a barrier for others to understand what the authors are trying to say.

Rethinking pedagogy for the digital age

Beetham & Sharpe give a very useful argument that has been different in the other theorist that we looked at. The expressed learning styles and discussed that the learning the induvial takes part in can be different because of factors such as culture, gender or life experiences. Even feeling can affect the process of the learning, they suggest what would be positive is to match materials to the different individual learning styles which I couldn’t agree with more. Especially when we look at children we are encouraged in policy such as EYFS or Child Act to always plan around the child’s needs rather than the other way around because that is the only effective way for them to learn (Woodhead, 1997). This is a very important way of looking at learning and I think that more e-leaning researchers should be aware of what they are making and try to make it more fitting for the individual instead of generalising.

Gagne’s Model of learning:
5 Types of learning:
9 Learning Events

Gagre 9 learning events was very useful in my progression to actually look at my e-learning activity to having a guide to make sure the activity has the effective tools to make it a successful learning experience. With this evaluation process really gets the reader to think about how their activity will be impacting the learning for children. The structure of his approach is solid however he could have considered the development of the maker of the project also. This approach was very much child cantered which is completely fine however it could have had more to support the development of the reader. Kruse (2009) elaborates on his theory and describes the positive effects it has on the learner and goes into depth on how we can use these steps effectively.
