To understand the implications of generative AI affects education, it can help to see practical examples in action. Below are several ways AI can aid in the learning experience. Think about how you could modify or build upon these examples for your own instruction.
These videos, recorded in 2023, showcase several use cases for generative AI technology. While these models have evolved significantly since then, the demonstrations still illustrate how these technologies can be applied creatively to serve different purposes.
In this demonstration, I showcase the potential of AI functioning as a virtual thought partner.
Note: In this demonstration a human with profile icon on left speaks to Pi an AI chatbot with profile icon on right.
Tool used in this demonstration: Pi
This demonstration shows how multiple AI technologies can be combiend to create engaging an interactive simulations.
The simulation in this demonstration was developed as part of the OpenRN project - funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Education to create OER Nursing Resources.
Tools used in this demonstration: H5P, ChatGPT, Midjourney, Play.ht, Microsoft Azure Speech Studio, D-ID
This roleplay prompt places the AI in the shoes of an undergraduate student, and the user as an instructor, guiding the AI through a specified topic.
Because Large Language Models (LLMs) are so capable across different languages, this includes programming. This opens up new abilities to augment and even automate the coding process of application development. The following are examples of "vibe coded" applications, which is to say, tools that were created through natural language, with the actual coding handled entirely by AI tools.
Codaptive Quizzes gives users the power to generate quizzes using AI and bring those quizzes into Canvas or export them in document form. Users can easily convert existing documents or images into quizzes that Canvas can understand. Currently, Codaptive Quizzes only supports multiple choice questions.
Built in partnership between AI and human expertise, Codaptive Flashcards exemplify how generative AI is revolutionizing software development by significantly enhancing the efficiency of creating functional code. Utilizing Claude, an AI assistant, this web-based flashcard app was developed through descriptive text prompts and AI-assisted coding iterations. This tool not only demonstrates AI's capabilities as a coding assistant but also highlights the profound implications of rapid AI advancements on the future of coding and software development.
the following is a collection of just some of the simulations that were developed as part of the Open RN project. These simulations demonstrate how combining multiple different AI technologies can create incredibly immersive learning experiences.
