With AI's presence in Education, is PBL on the rise?
I liked this article from Defined Educator's Blog that discusses how to effectively use AI in Project Based Learning. AI can be a super tool to guide/ help learning and move students toward the goal of their PBL project. I think we all need to be rethinking assessment a bit with the addition of AI in education. PBL is a great option.
"PBL offers a way to reframe how AI is used in education. By incorporating AI meaningfully, students collaborate with AI to enhance their learning while showcasing critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills. PBL shifts AI from being a threat to academic integrity to a valuable tool that enriches the learning experience."
Blackbaud New Question Generator Tool
Introducing the New Question Generator with Generative AI
Blackbaud has announced the release of our new Question Generator, powered by generative AI. This innovative tool is designed to spark ideas and provide a starting point for building online assessment questions. With the Question Generator, teachers have full control over which generated questions are added to their question banks and assessments. They can also edit the generated questions as needed to ensure they meet their specific requirements. The difficulty of the questions is determined by a combination of the grade level, learning level, and question difficulty selected.
HERE is a quick online tutorial for the new tool.
