The Learning Agency on LinkedIn: FUNDING ANALYSIS | ALI Coalition (2024)

In The Cutting Ed, Daniel Jarratt writes: “In current artificial intelligence research, there’s growing excitement about the potential to revolutionize math education using new tools like Khan Academy’s Khanmigo. These tools promise personalized learning experiences and innovative teaching methods, heralding an education “revolution.” However, a fundamental challenge arises from the fact that the most popular A.I. technologies, notably large language models (LLMs), struggle with many mathematical tasks. To truly harness the power of A.I. in math education, it’s crucial to understand these limitations and how scientists and engineers have successfully created LLM interfaces to calculator-style systems.”https://lnkd.in/gWwCXd2B

Tutoring is a major part of the K-12 landscape and it seems likely to only grow, given its impact on student learning. But what Is the science of tutoring and how can it be done better? In this new 5 Questions interview, Science of Tutoring author Laurence Holt shares his insights on how educators can go beyond surface level-learning to engage in deep learning that helps students achieve long-term goals.https://lnkd.in/g4v8ck-3

Guarding against biased data has never been more important – especially for diverse student populations who are impacted by #AI design but aren’t always represented. Read Melia Sandler’s opinion on how to avoid AI design bias here. https://lnkd.in/gtfjpidq

Congratulations to the Alliance for Learning Innovation (ALI) for a packed-house Congressional briefing yesterday on the need for more and better education R&D. If you missed it, check out this Education Week recap by Sarah D. Sparks. The gist: Classroom tools and technology are changing too fast for traditional research to keep up without significant support to identify best practices and get them into the classroom. Sara Schapiro of the Federation of American Scientists and others from EdTrust, Lincoln University, the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE), and ISTE drove home how education-focused research and development can be a game-changer for students and teachers. #K12 #research #educationhttps://lnkd.in/gCp7iEFH
