Show Notes
In our latest podcast episode of ‘Every Day's a School Day,’ we’re joined by Dr Tharaka (Dr T), TEDx Speaker, TV Doctor and Psychiatrist, as we dive into the fascinating world of AI and its role in learning.
Dr T’s expertise in High Performance, Psychological Cohesion, Cognitive Biases, and Memory Training, makes this episode a thought-provoking and interesting listen!
Key Takeaways:
✨ Understanding of how our brains learn and how AI could help (and not help) with that,
✨ how AI contributes to personalised learning, and
✨ how AI is supporting neurodiverse learners.
AI brings to the table the possibility of personalised learning experiences. By having a constant pulse-check on the learner, AI systems can help construct new ideas in the learner's mind brick by brick or step by step. However, as with everything, there’ll always be challenges so we discuss those with AI and VR within learning and how they can be used as supplementary tools. Finally, we discuss the future of education with AI and VR.
Oh and Dr T’s question to our regular feature: ‘What’s something that’s blown your mind?’ is a great one! Maybe our best one yet.
Don’t miss this episode, and catch up on any you might’ve missed.
School’s in session!
