AI vs. the standardized test: Exploring a new, more personal approach to learning

The Catalyst by Softchoice

Did you always want to do what you do? Or did your grades and test scores suggest you’d be good at it?
The 2020s are quickly being characterized by astonishing leaps in technology. Meanwhile, our education systems have remained anchored in 19th-century thinking. Rooted in standardized, one-size-fits-all models, the way we engage, develop and measure success for students is about to undergo a profound change thanks to, you guessed it, artificial intelligence.

In this episode of The Catalyst, our host Aaron meets with Dr. David Vroonland, the executive director of LEARN, the Learning Environments Action Resource Network, and a consultant to the education sector with Softchoice. They explore a new approach to education that uses AI models to create personalized, self-guided learning paths for students, tailored to their demonstrated passions and interests, rather than aptitude alone.
Dr. Vroonland believes it’s poised to reshape the way we teach and learn for good.
