(Short) Behind the scenes: How impactful can an AI tutor be?

from EdTechnical · host Owen Henkel & Libby Hills

This week we're doing our second short episode - a behind the scenes chat about a recent paper of Owen’s that has been generating some interest online. In the paper Owen and his co-authors present the impact of an AI tutor (Rori) on maths performance of around 1,000 students. Listen in for a summary of the study, what they found (TL;DR - the results are very promising!) and some probing (but not too probing, as Owen’s still recovering from his trouncing by Libby in their first short episode - a debate about “hallucinations” are in large language models) questions from LibbyLinks: Owen’s paper on the impact of an AI tutor (Rori) on maths achievementMore information about Rising AcademiesCredits: Sarah Myles for production support; Josie Hills for graphic designJoin us on social media: BOLD (@BOLD_insights), Libby Hills (@Libbylhhills) and Owen Henkel (@owen_henkel)Listen to all episodes of EdTechnical here: https://bold.expert/ed-technical Subscribe to BOLD’s newsletter: https://bold.expert/newsletter Stay up to date with all the latest research on child development and learning: https://bold.expertCredits: Sarah Myles for production support; Josie Hills for graphic design; Anabel Altenburg for content production.
