I have to agree with the article, it is a major source of stress to transition from the traditional classroom method to a more technological focus. The shift was very rough for both teachers and students. We need a more gradual transition, and allow both teachers and students gain a better grasp of the current situation.

AI breakthroughs in learning in 2018 | Donald Clark Plan B

AI breakthroughs in learning in 2018 | Donald Clark Plan B | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
AI is good at narrow, prescribed tasks, it is hopeless at general tasks. This, in my view is why big data and learning analytics projects are less appropriate in learning than more precise, proven uses of AI. There’s a paucity of data in learning and it is often messy, difficult to access and subject to overfitting and other problems when trying to make predictions.
On the other hand, using specific techniques at specific points on the learning journey – engagement, support, delivery and assessment, one can leverage AI to best effect. So here’s five ways this was done in 2018, in real projects, in real organisations, some winning major awards.

Jorge Jaramillo's curator insight, August 29, 2019 8:14 AM
Las teorías de aprendizaje han sustentado desde hace muchos años, todas las tendencias educativas que han venido surgiendo y por esto, es necesario tener en cuenta sus principios y lineamientos, para el correcto diseño de productos orientados a facilitar el acceso al conocimiento. En este documento se presenta de una manera muy concreta, el sustento que cada una de estas teorías propone.
Matt Schatt's curator insight, October 16, 2019 8:18 AM
While this article may seem like a trip back to Educational Psychology 101, its bearing on eLearning and design are indisputable.  Much of what is learned in traditional classrooms can be viewed as behaviorist learning with only a few activities finding their way into constructivist and active learning domains.  Online learning, however, has the potential to unlock a variety of more student-centered practices to engage and motivate students.
