Metaverse resources and AI for personalized algebra.  
Video lectures, detailed management of individual learning. 
Self-paced learning. 
Will education be the last place to use AI to transfer routine human effort to computers?  
  • What is it going to take for us to toss the 19th century mass-production model of education onto the trash heap of history and embrace the 21st century model of mass-personalization? 
  • Artificial intelligence is facilitating the delivery of mass-personalization in many aspects of our lives. 
  • From medicine to manufacturing, we see intelligent systems creating personalized solutions to meet the unique needs of every individual. 
  • However, in education mass-personalization is still considered experimental and has not gained widespread acceptance yet. 
  • In this session, we will explore the factors enabling or inhibiting this change.

“Either the engineers must become poets 
or the poets must become engineers.”--Norbert Wiener, 1950

Art and technology are often seen as distinct disciplines. But combining them results in magic. Sarah Ellis, the Director of Digital Development at the Royal Shakespeare Company, teaches us how technology is reimagining the experience of theatre, taking it beyond the stage and into our living rooms.
