Our understanding of the mechanisms involved in how students learn and retain new information has advanced… Continue reading →

Artificial intelligence has captured learning designers’ attention, prompted by its potential for automated essay scoring and, more recently, for essay writing. This presentation is on a different kind of AI and different uses: It is about knowledge- or meaning-based AI rather than data-based AI. After describing this difference between Knowledge Technologies (KTs) and Machine Learning,… Continue reading →

Artificial intelligence has captured learning designers' attention, prompted by its potential for automated essay scoring and, more recently, for essay writing. This presentation is on a different kind of AI and different uses: It is about knowledge- or meaning-based AI rather than data-based AI. After describing this difference between Knowledge Technologies (KTs) and Machine Learning, Peter will briefly explain how KTs have been used in (formal) education and e-learning. Next, two examples of how students can use KTs will be provided, illustrating two emerging patterns for KT-based assignments. Finally, Peter will discuss the potential of KTs for managing design knowledge and supporting learning designers in their work.

The TELedvisors SIG is delighted to present this webinar on the value of recognition programs. In this webinar Professor Abby Cathcart (QUT) will outline the changes to the Professional Standards Framework (PSF) which will come into effect in 2023. The PSF has been widely used in Australia as part of academic and professional development in… Continue reading →
