EDTech Breakthroughs

- by Mary Lebowitz

edtech is changing the way students learn.

1. AI-powered tutoring

AI tutoring is the future of education. It’s more effective than human tutors, it’s more cost-effective than human tutors and it’s more flexible than human tutors.

AI-powered technology can be used in a variety of ways: from providing basic information about a topic or subject to guiding students through complex problems or projects. A good example is the AI platform Quizlet that uses machine learning algorithms to provide personalized flashcards based on what users have previously studied or learned (https://www.quizlet.com/). Another great example is Dragonfly Pro which uses a combination of automated grading tools with human assistance from experts in various fields such as math or science (https://www2b2bprod2b2bmarketingwebsite4432100000005f6d8c636f6e69622d636f6e677465726e65737461626c65737069657370696573706c616372656446696e6963717561626c65617365646976657273696f757320546972656374757265646164766963657279206173656661636546561726564696f73696e696371454687574207468652073657474696e6774792061782053706c616365637572656446696e696371756572737069657370696573706c616372656174656d69737420746f206a6173546174656d697374287829202a20523020000000100000000056534356353331206a6173546174656d697374287829202a20534340000000000

2. Virtual reality in the classroom

Virtual reality is a computer-generated environment that can be explored and interacted with by a person. It’s used in education to simulate real-world environments and situations, allowing students to learn about the world around them or even their own bodies.

Virtual reality has been used in various ways in classrooms over the years, but it wasn’t until recently that virtual reality headsets became affordable enough for schools to purchase them en masse. Now teachers use these devices as part of lesson plans and projects throughout all subjects–from science class (studying volcanoes) to English (reading aloud from Shakespeare).

In addition to being useful tools for teaching students about new subject matter, VR also allows teachers more freedom than traditional methods do when trying out new ideas: since …

Resources For Students Taking Business Courses

- by Mary Lebowitz

Are you a business student who’s looking for the right resources to help you along the way? There are many options available, including online courses that allow you to study on-the-go and social media groups that provide support from other students in similar situations. We’ve compiled this list of the best sources so you can find what works best for your learning style!

Resources for Students Taking Business Courses

The resources that you need to succeed in your business courses can be found online. You can take online courses or distance learning, or even hybrid learning where you combine both of these methods. Many universities offer their classes through social media as well.

If you are interested in pursuing a degree from an accredited university but don’t want to relocate your family or leave your job, then this could be the perfect solution for you!

Online Courses

Online courses are a great way to learn from anywhere. You can access them anytime, and they’re accessible to people with disabilities. Plus, if you have a busy schedule or commute to school, online classes may be just what you need to help balance your life while still getting the education you want.

When it comes down to it, though: are online courses really worth it?

Distance Learning

If you’re taking business courses and don’t have the time to physically attend class, distance learning is an option. Distance learning courses are often offered by universities and colleges through an online learning platform where …

The Ideal Learning Environment For Every Student

- by Mary Lebowitz

If you’ve ever been to a high school history class, or even just watched one on TV, then you’re probably familiar with the traditional classroom. Although it’s still used in many schools and colleges today, it’s not always the most effective way for students to learn. In fact, there are four different types of learning environments that might be better suited for your needs: traditional classrooms, virtual classrooms, peer-to-peer learning environments and self-paced online courses.

The Traditional Classroom

The traditional classroom is the most common place to learn, and it’s easy to see why: In this setting, students are grouped by age or grade level and expected to be on task for a set period of time. The teacher is the expert who provides instruction and answers questions; students are passive learners who are expected to listen attentively in order to absorb information from their instructor.

The traditional classroom model may seem outdated because it places so much emphasis on listening rather than speaking up or discussing ideas with others–but there’s more than one way for students’ voices to be heard!

The Virtual Classroom

A virtual classroom is a place where students can interact with each other and the teacher. Students can ask questions, share ideas, and collaborate on projects. The teacher can see the screens of all students in real time or at scheduled times during class time. Students may also have access to learning materials that are not available in your school’s print collection (or even on-line).

Machine Learning Video Lectures Archive

- by Mary Lebowitz

Machine learning is a branch of artificial intelligence (AI) that gives computers the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed. Machine learning can be used in a wide range of applications, like: computer vision, speech recognition, natural language processing and many others. In this post we provide an overview of machine learning lectures online in order to help you get started with ML or enhance your knowledge if you are already using it.

Machine Learning Video Lectures

The Machine Learning Video Lectures archive contains 10 lectures on the topic of machine learning. The course is available for free on YouTube, but also has a page on Coursera’s website where you can access additional resources and quizzes.

The course is recommended for beginners who have an interest in learning more about how computers learn from data.

Overview of Lectures

This course is about machine learning. It will cover the following topics:

  • The basics of probability and statistics, including distributions and hypothesis testing
  • Classification algorithms (e.g., decision trees, logistic regression)
  • Clustering techniques (k-means clustering)
  • Unsupervised learning methods (e.g., principal components analysis, neural networks).

Machine Learning Overview

Machine learning is a subfield of artificial intelligence that focuses on algorithms that can learn from data. Machine learning is about building algorithms that can learn from data, and it’s a very broad term that encompasses many different types of algorithms, including:

  • Supervised Learning: When you have both input and output data, machine learning algorithms use this information to make predictions about future examples (for example,
