Adaptive Learning Technologies
The strengths of this tutor is that the format is similar to educational programs that students are used to using so it is easy for them to locate assignments and to progress through lessons.
This tutor offers immediate feedback on all lessons and quizzes, requiring students to correct this thinking before moving on to the next question or task.
The limitation of this tutor are that students must follow the structure of the platform to find the information they are looking for, and they are only able to ask follow-up open ended questions at the end of lessons.
The tutor allows you to assign full units or only one concept. It will also allow you to only assign an assessment for you to review scores before planning you next lesson on or off the platform.
There would no concerns for violating ethical practices in using this tutor as many school districts have vetted the brand and have used it in their schools.
Data privacy would not be an issue with this tutor as it would be managed at the district level. Even for teachers who are using it independently, the tutor does not collect private data on the students.
This tutor is not biased and it is based on the standards that are being used and it does not seem to differentiate between users.
The teacher's role is to set up the class and assign tasks individually or to everyone. The teacher is able to review how each student performs individually and class averages.
This tutor is not as equitable as it could be. It offers videos, but I could not find any accessibility features for reading text aloud.
AI Chatbot (Poe)
The biggest strength of this tutor bot is that it is open-ended and students can ask any questions. It is also easy to access once students have the link.
The limitations of this tutor bot is that students must know what they need information about. There is no pre-assessment to determine prior knowledge.
Since I instructed the tutor bot to ask follow-up questions and check for understanding, it does provide that level of feedback.
This can easily be adapted to be used as a quick access tool to clarify a student's understanding or correct a misunderstanding by adding it to the teacher/classroom digital resource page.
My ethical concern with using this tutor bot is that it is pulling information from Open AI Models, which are compiling information from the internet, so it stands to reason that the answers it provides should be checked for accuracy by the teacher before the students rely on it as accurate.
The only data privacy concern that is present is in monitoring student interactions with the bot and in instructing students not to include any private information in their prompts since there are no filters to block this type of activity.
Since the tutor is so text dependent, it is biased toward students who are proficient in the English language, though it does not seem to be biased in the answers it provides through the different AI Models.
The teacher's role in creating this tutor bot is to create it using refined instructions based on the teacher's specific needs. The teacher will also have to instruct students on how to write and then refine their questioning prompts, and the teacher will need to ensure that students understand that the accuracy of the information should be supported by other resources, such as their textbook, the teacher, or lesson materials.
The AI Chatbot that I created was not equitable for all students because it is text based and dependent on students knowing what they don't know and need to learn.
