An Introduction to eXtreme Learning

The educational landscape is undergoing a transformative shift, thanks to the advent of eXtreme Learning, a concept that is redefining the boundaries of traditional teaching and learning methods. eXtreme Learning is the transformative use of AI technologies like ChatGPT, InVideo, and H5P in education, streamlining the creation of tailored learning objectives, engaging content, and interactive exercises. This approach revolutionizes traditional teaching and learning methods, enhancing efficiency and fostering deeper, more collaborative educational experiences. Historically, the teaching lifecycle has been a multifaceted journey, beginning with the establishment of clear learning objectives, akin to plotting a course for an enlightening expedition. This process evolved into crafting compelling narratives for lessons, turning educational content into memorable stories. The actual teaching phase, where dynamic interaction breathes life into these narratives, has always been the core of thi...

Pédalez pour savoir! - Les défis d'un cerveau planétaire

Dans une ère où les technologies comme ChatGPT 4.0 révolutionnent notre accès à l'information et la communication, nous nous dirigeons vers un "cerveau planétaire" où ces systèmes intelligents seront interconnectés, formant un immense réseau de connaissances. Cette progression promet un potentiel immense, mais soulève également des défis importants, notamment en termes de consommation énergétique et d'implications éthiques. La réglementation, l'éducation, et une prise de conscience individuelle deviennent cruciales pour naviguer dans cette nouvelle ère de manière responsable, afin de préserver nos ressources tout en exploitant le potentiel des chats interconnectés. 1. Le cerveau planétaire Aujourd'hui, nous vivons une époque fascinante où les chats et bots (à l'image de ChatGPT 4.0), ces prodiges de l'intelligence artificielle, sont partagés individuellement via des liens. Cela marque une évolution significative dans notre approche de la connaissance e...

And here comes vision! ChatGPT's new feature applied to Team Alignment...

Let's assume that a consultant specializing in team alignment has conducted workshops with an executive board and a management board. The results are summarized in the map below. Can ChatGPT help  interpret the results and formulate recommendations? To some extent that I leave to your critical appreciation, it can! And in my eyes this might be the biggest breakthrough after the launch of plugins this year.  I demonstrate this new feature in my experiment at the end of the post.  Although the results are - as always with AI - not perfect yet and need critical analysis, this means that ChatGPT has been hit by a new wave of innovation with its new vision feature.  At its core, this technology lets the AI look at maps, graphs, and pictures and figure out what they mean and how to use them to gain insights. In a sense, it has given an AI chatbot the power to "see." It's impossible to overstate how important this progress is. When AI vision is added to ChatGPT, it goe...

An Ethical Framework for Exams and Continuous Assessment with AI

Throughout the history of education, a multitude of diverse and even contentious methodologies have been employed to assess knowledge and aptitude. Several assessment methods have been employed, ranging from oral examinations to written tests, all with the overarching objective of discerning the extent to which students comprehend the subject matter in a manner that is equitable, comprehensive, and optimal. In the present context, amidst the cusp of a forthcoming epoch, the ongoing discourse persists, albeit with a futuristic inclination. The emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has brought about transformative changes in the field of education, revolutionizing the tools and methodologies employed for assessment and evaluation. As we transition into this emerging era, it is crucial to discuss the implications for the fundamental principles and ideals of education. The conventional methods of assessment, commonly characterized by high-stakes examinations and standardized tests, ha...

GPT excels within Excel !

Today I share my experience with a game-changing Excel add-in that uses AI to automate tasks. While it has the potential to improve productivity in ways never before imagined by fusing complicated activities with straightforward user instructions, I would like to start in this blog a larger discussion regarding the social and ethical ramifications of this level of AI integration. Since AI like GPT become an integral part of our apps, understanding its fundamental mechanisms requires that we engage with it directly now . As we go into a day when spreadsheets can hold conversations and analyze sentiment, it will be important to strike a balance between reliance on AI and education to make sure it complements, rather than replaces, human abilities. Artificial intelligence (AI) and commonplace workplace technologies have finally found each other in the digital office. In the experiment below I have tested an exciting Excel add-in called numerous.ai . Its purpose? In order to make difficult...

Harnessing AI to Refine Educational Courses: My Experience with ChatGPT's Capabilities

In a recent interaction, I showcased the potential of OpenAI's ChatGPT in assisting educators to refine their course structures. My experiment began by predefining a context using a comprehensive list of Business Analysis Techniques. Following this preprompt, I presented a current undergraduate course structure that needed modification. The goal? To identify and recommend new Business Analysis techniques appropriate for each chapter of the course.   The Power of Contextual Communication with ChatGPT One of the most striking elements in this experiment was the emphasis on context. My initial "preprompt" set the stage by providing ChatGPT with a menu of options to consider. This allows for a directed, topic-specific conversation, where the AI can pull from a given set of data. The "postprompt" then elaborated on the current course structure, allowing ChatGPT to compare, contrast, and make recommendations based on the established context. Quality and Limitations of...
