AI as an Assignment Evaluator:
Matt and Liz discuss a large-scale study from National Taiwan University involving over 1,000 students.
Key findings: 75% of students accepted AI evaluators, but 51% reported format issues.
47% of students attempted to "hack" the AI grading system, raising concerns about fairness and accuracy.
UK's First "Teacherless" AI Classroom:
A private school in London is launching an AI and VR-based classroom.
The setup includes three learning coaches for 20 students, challenging the "teacherless" claim.
Matt and Liz critically examine the high cost and limited scalability of this model.
Beneath the Surface: AI and Creative Problem Solving Matt and Liz examine a Harvard Business School study on AI's role in creative problem-solving:
Researchers compared human-generated ideas with AI-generated solutions for circular economy challenges.
Findings: Human solutions were more novel, while AI solutions were more feasible.
The best outcomes resulted from human-AI collaboration, with humans refining AI-generated ideas.
Matt and Liz relate these findings to their experiences with Personal Interest Projects (PIP) and Capstone projects, where students use AI tools like Sidekick for ideation and project management.
Short Stack Chat Back: Thomas Edison opines on how AI and humans make problem-solving better together.
Announcement: Matt and Liz introduce their new 6-week micro-credential course on "AI in K-12 Education," offered in partnership with Southern Connecticut State University. To learn more, visit www.skills21.org/ai/micro
