C
Modern technology has a strong influence on every part of our life, including the education in the universities.
Ashok Goel, a professor in Georgia Institute of Technology, says he uses the Internet in almost all of the classes he teaches. Every term over 300 graduate students take his class on Artificial Intelligence (AI, 人工智能). The students never meet in person. All of the classes take place online – through a website, which lets students ask questions and complete their work from anywhere in the world.
Having hundreds of students in a class means Ashok Goel has to answer thousands of questions. He has eight teaching assistants to help him. But even that is not enough to give all the students the help they need.
In January, Goel had an idea. He decided to try an experiment. At the start of the spring 2016 term, he added a new member to his teaching team: Jill Watson. She was able to answer questions faster than most other teaching assistants. And she was available 24 hours a day.
It was only at the end of the term that Goel’s students learnt Watson’s true identity: she was not a real person like the other teaching assistants. Jill Watson was an AI computer program.
And it seems Goel’s stories will become more common in the universities. According to a survey done in August by the website called “Campus Technology”, more and more American professors combined online materials and face - to - face teaching in their classrooms.
