Although Machine Learning (ML) has already become part of our daily lives, few are familiar with this technology. Thus, in order to help students to understand ML, its potential, and limitations and to empower them to become creators of intelligent solutions, diverse courses for teaching ML in K-12 have emerged. Yet, a question less considered is…

Anonymous assessment, introduced to higher education over the last twenty-five years to reduce attainment gaps, is a now common place. This paper suggests some ways in which anonymous assessment could be reconceptualised. We argue that there is scant empirical evidence of anonymity having worked in reducing attainment gaps in higher education. It…

This article reports on the release of AI tools that can generate text, images, music, and video with no need for complicated coding but simply in response to instructions given in natural language. AI is also raising pressing ethical questions around bias, appropriate use, and plagiarism. In the realm of education, this technology will influence…

This paper highlights the importance of artificial intelligence (AI) policies in higher education institutions and presents a step-by-step process for adopting institutional policies. Emphasizing the inevitable implications on AI in teaching and learning, this paper also discusses key policy areas for consideration by the stakeholders and lists…

The latest mutation of Artificial Intelligence, Generative AI, is more than anything a technology of writing. It is a machine that can write. In a world-historical frame, the significance of this cannot be understated. This is a technology in which the unnatural language of code tangles with the natural language of everyday life. Its form of…

This article analyses and reflects on the ethical aspects of using artificial intelligence (AI) systems in educational contexts. On the one hand, the impact of AI in the field of education is addressed from the perspective of the Sustainable Development Goals (specifically, SDG4) of the UNESCO 2030 Agenda, describing the opportunities for its use…

Education is undergoing a fundamental transformation, necessitated and made possible by contemporary technology, notably Artificial Intelligence. Central to this transformation is the realisation that the post primary learners will lead in terms of what each will study, how, where, when and to what purpose. This will entail a refocussed and…

This article explores the potential of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) to enhance music education by facilitating creative collaborations. Drawing on the pragmatism of the later works of John Dewey and the posthumanism of Karen Barad, and employing Actor-Network Theory (ANT), we propose viewing creative collaborations as dynamic systems…

Generative AI is a disruptive technology that has the potential to transform many aspects of how computer science is taught. Like previous innovations such as high-level programming languages and block-based programming languages, generative AI lowers the technical expertise necessary to create working programs, bringing the power of computation…

As the artificial intelligence (AI) ethics field is currently working towards its operationalisation, ethics review as carried out by research ethics committees (RECs) constitutes a powerful, but so far underdeveloped, framework to make AI ethics effective in practice at the research level. This article contributes to the elaboration of research…

Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies generate increasingly sophisticated non-human cognition; however, foundational learning theories only contemplate human cognition, and current research conceptualizes AI as a pedagogical tool. We argue that the incipient abilities of AI for "mutual engagement" with people could allow AI to…

Background/purpose: Developments in the world of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is full steam ahead in the wake of the fourth industrial revolution. One of the hot discussions over the exponential advancement of AI has been whether this ability of machines to accomplish tasks that require human intelligence could take over the roles of humans in the…

This book demonstrates how artificial intelligence (AI) can be used to uncover the patterns of classroom dialogue and increase the productiveness of dialogue. In this book, the author uses a range of data mining techniques to explore the productive features and sequential patterns of classroom dialogue. She analyses how the Large Language Model…

The country, the Commonwealth of Virginia, and Virginia Community College System initiatives all promote generative AI within education. It is a topic of great concern and interest for higher education instructors, yet at the same time many faculty members feel uncertain about effectively integrating it into class material. To further add pressure…

This book is multi-dimensional exploration of Ivan Illich's critique of institutionalized education. It dissects, analyzes, and understands the implications of his critique for the future of education in a world increasingly influenced by technology, particularly artificial intelligence (AI). The book outlines the problems with current educational…
