Mobilio uses a smartphone’s camera, GPS, and motion sensors to guide users around obstacles.
A teacher used AI to organize 16 years of neglected course materials, compare them with current standards, and identify gaps, without using student data.
The result was a rebuilt archive, a comprehensive curriculum audit, and a practical seven-week preparation plan.…
Artificial intelligence (AI) will transform the classroom into an interactive ecosystem of guidance and support. The Triadic Learning Ecosystem (TLE) offers an architecture of that near future, connecting teachers, students, and AI-enabled tools in a collaborative model of learning.
The University of Michigan’s College of Literature, Science and the Arts is trying out something new this coming term: a dual grading system in which professors give students ordinary letter grades based on the quality of their work, but what …
People still deeply value authorship, even as AI challenges traditional ideas about who “creates” a text; labeling something “AI-generated” now serves a social function.
