Title: How AI Is Empowering Adult Learning and Online Education

Abstract:

In the face of technological advancements and the evolving digital economy, the need for workforce upskilling and reskilling is a universal challenge. Tailored online education for adult learners is paramount for a brighter future, irrespective of location or profession. It’s especially crucial for marginalized groups seeking customized learning experiences that align with their unique needs and aspirations. This session explores four key innovations being developed by the National AI Institute for Adult Learning and Online Education (AI-ALOE): controlled use of large language models (generative AI), advanced product management and data analysis capabilities, AI tools for conversational courseware and scalable personalization of learning, and the realization of the Community of Inquiry model for online learning at scale.
