The Technological Revolution of Education | Ya’akov (Kobi) Gal | TEDxBGU

TEDx Talks Опубликовано: 19 июн. 2015 г. Education is increasingly mediated by technology, and is used by a wide array of learners from different age groups, socio-economic backgrounds and cultures. The availability of educational data on the one hand, and the increasing ability to make sense of this data on the other hand, provides new opportunities for using computational methods to support students in their learning process and teachers and researchers in their understanding of how students learn. Dr. Ya’akov (Kobi) Gal leads the human-computer decision-making lab at the department of information science engineering in Ben-Gurion University. He is also a research associate at the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Harvard University. His work investigates representations and algorithms for making decisions in heterogeneous groups comprising both people and computational agents. He has worked on combining artificial intelligence algorithms with educational technology towar
