This explosion of websites would hardly be meaningful without the power to find exactly the information we want. Easy to type in or talk to, seamless - almost invisible when integrated with a browser, Search engines excel in doing exactly that. They read our hastily typed, often misspelled queries, and pull out text, images, videos and all sorts of relevant content out of the web.
How does this quick access to information help education? How can it aid student led learning - where students build their knowledge through constructive activities? How to make the most of this technology while avoiding its drawbacks?

You might have talked about it to someone or read something on a related topic but you have never searched for it in Youtube. Yet, there it is, sitting on the list of videos recommended for you.
Or, perhaps, Youtube highlighted a topic you never knew about before, but which has got you hooked now. Less spooky, but more surprising.
How is it that the video platform seems to know you better than some of your friends? How does it select the videos that will speak to you, among the 800 million videos hosted by it? Is it possible to use the software's skills of personalisation to help learners learn better? What could be the common thread behind Youtube and Netflix, Amazon product recommendation, Google News, Facebook friend suggestion and your classroom?
12023-01-04T08:02:48+00:00The Next Steps2What can the future(s) of AI in education look like?plain2023-05-30T15:16:53+00:00In the previous chapters we have tried to cover education situations where AI is already claiming to make an impact. Because this is also a billion euro industry we can expect further developments in the range of offers already available and new offers, products and opportunities. In this case we can only predict that unpredictable things will happen, but not what these will be.
Neither can we predict exactly how the education itself is going to be impacted through the increasing role of Artificial intelligence. But we can be sure that this will be the case.
In this Chapter we aim to speak about some possible changes for education. We will be more speculative than in previous chapters and walk upon less trodden paths. For these reasons, please consider these pages as discussions to be had, elements to help you interpret the futures.
